Types of HVAC Systems for Commercial Buildings in Arizona
While a Phoenix residence may be in Spanish-, ranch- or modern-style, diversity among commercial buildings is usually far greater. Arizona businesses can be warehouses, office buildings, mom-and-pop stores, restaurants, and more.
As an Arizona builder owner or manager, you have many different types of commercial HVAC systems available to choose from. Nearly all Arizona commercial buildings have commercial HVAC systems to meet the needs of customers and employees. These commercial HVAC systems are designed to control temperature, humidity, ventilation, and pressure. You may be wondering how many commercial HVAC system types there are. The four most common types of commercial HVAC systems are - single split system, multi-split system, VRF or VRV system, and VAV or CAV system.
The air conditioning needs of commercial properties are far more diverse than those of residential air conditioner installations, and Day & Night Air is here to help. Whether your company needs a single-split system, VRF, heat pump, or multi-split package, we have experience in the installation of all types of commercial HVAC systems.

Types of Commercial Air Conditioning Systems
Phoenix’s weather makes heavy demands on any business’s cooling system. Commercial air conditioning suitable for your industrial property in the Phoenix metro area could mean planning and installation of commercial AC units. The four most common types of HVAC systems for commercial buildings are:
-
Single-Split System
At the more modest end of commercial HVAC system budgets, single-split system AC is ideal for cafes, shops, small offices, and similar cozy spaces. Every indoor unit has an exterior unit, so as your business expands, we can add additional cooling capacity in a one-to-one ratio.
-
Multi-Split System
Multiple indoor units connect to a single, larger outdoor unit. Larger office spaces, diners, doctors’ offices and retail shops often use multi-split systems. Interior spaces that have many walls or multiple floors are often best served by multi-split commercial AC units.
-
VRF or VRV System
A variable refrigerant flow (VRF) or variable refrigerant volume (VRV) system is a heat pump using refrigerant in the heating and cooling lines. More than one evaporator connects to a single condensing unit.
-
VAV or CAV System
Variable air volume (VAV) or constant air volume (CAV) systems use a single-duct supply and return setup with varying airflow (VAV) or constant airflow (CAV) to keep temperatures at set points.
Commercial HVAC Systems for Arizona Warehouses
If you own an Arizona warehouse, you may need to combine some of the HVAC cooling systems above with other ideas to provide warehouse air conditioners:
-
Big ceiling fans
By big, we mean big: 24-foot blades on high volume/low speed (HVLS) fans that help to cut warehouse temperatures 20 degrees or more.
-
Evaporative coolers
Combining a box fan with a highly refined misting system for economical, cool comfort.
-
Industrial box fans
Move large volumes of air through large spaces while retaining portability.
