Energy efficiency
There are usually multiple tiers of efficiency one can chose from for the same size AC system. For a system size between 65,000-135,000 Btu per hour, one can find Energy Efficiency Ratio (EERs) ranging from of 8.9 to 12.0. After meeting energy code requirements, efficiency is one of the most important variables when maintaining a commercial AC system.
Maintenance
No matter what equipment you have, it's important to make sure the overall system is designed to be efficient, and that it is properly maintained. This includes regularly cleaning and filter replacements. Conducting regular tune-ups, correcting refrigerant charge, cleaning and adjusting the system to correct airflow and improve heat transfer, replacing filters monthly or as needed and repairing major duct leaks can yield surprising energy savings at low cost.
