HVAC RETRO-FIT


The initial capital investment on the air conditioning system installed in your building is always most significant over the other investments made on the entire facility development. However, it is also very hard to realize that this investment needs an upgradation over a period of time.

Depending on the type of your project – a commercial building or a house, your HVAC system will need to be upgraded with technology, design or components over a period of 10 to 15 years.

Retrofitting an existing HVAC system can be challenging, but the results are well worth the effort.

Retrofit projects replace or add equipment to existing or older systems. They improve energy efficiency, energy output and extend the lifespan of the existing system. Most standard systems have a life cycle that spans somewhere between 10 to 15 years, and when the time comes for a new system there are more options than just a straight replacement. Some of the benefits of opting for a timely retro-fit of the existing HVAC system can be:

1. Energy Savings

Retrofitting HVAC equipment is one of the quickest ways to solve chronic problems with high energy consumption. Over the period of times, the efficiency of the existing installed equipment diminishes. On average, small offices and retail establishments reduce energy consumption by 30-35% when retrofitting HVAC systems and equipment.

2. Increased HVAC Lifespan

Replacing a defective part gives your HVAC equipment new life. In fact, sometimes you can even extend the life of your system by several years, spending far less money than a whole system replacement.

3. Adaptability & Flexibility

Commercial spaces are constantly changing: interiors are rearranged, additionally new structures are built, occupants move in and out, and infrastructure requirements change. Retrofitting HVAC systems allows you to be flexible & continue adapting to the needs of occupants without huge investments. At Careco, we want your HVAC systems to work for you—not the other way around.

4. Improved Comfort

A retrofitted HVAC system will operate with more consistency than an older system. This consistency leads to more control over temperature in humidity, resulting in improved comfort for occupants.

5. Technology upgradation

Technology is always growing and changing; the same is true for HVAC systems. You don’t want to miss out on new energy-efficient devices or ways of cutting energy costs because your system is too old or you can’t afford a total replacement. The retrofit process allows us to update your equipment to provide a system that runs consistently and productively.

6. Improved Air Quality

Over a period of time, older systems show signs of ageing and a drop in performance, and some older HVAC equipment will become louder over the years. We want your cooling equipment to be felt and not heard. A modern retrofit will deliver a quieter operation and a higher level of performance for your workplace.

There is no avoiding the fact that your HVAC systems will need to be replaced one day, but the retrofitting solutions from Careco can ensure that replacement is easier to plan for and is a less costly experience. Providing comfortable workspaces & living spaces is the most significant purpose of your HVAC equipment; Careco is here to ensure they deliver.
