The choice and design of an HVAC system are essential so that a school can have quality indoor air. An institution should have a quiet HVAC system, and central HVAC systems are quieter and are thus the best choice for a school as a learning institution should be quiet to have maximum attention. A central HVAC unit is suitable for schools because it is better at controlling humidity and moisture. They are also great for controlling mold growth and providing the right learning environment for learners and the supporting staff. A central unit has more space around its unit and can be accessed without interfering with learners in class. It also has fewer components; therefore, maintenance is less complicated and easy. It can accommodate higher efficiency air filters. The central unit HVAC system is made of heavy-duty material, thus long-lasting. When choosing an HVAC system, check the annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency(AFUE) ratings. The best yearly rating for an HVAC system should be over 90 percent. Modern heating systems have an AFUE rating as high as 97 percent. This means they will use nearly all the fuel to heat your school. They also have no risk of back-drafting combustion gases as the units bring outdoor air directly into the burner, and the exhaust goes outside.
