Our HVAC Design & Build Services

One of Hickory Sheet Metal’s key strengths is our ability to design and install custom HVAC solutions for a wide range of commercial applications. We understand that every commercial space is unique, and we take this into account by creating systems that address the specific needs of each building type. Whether it’s an office building, a retail space, or an industrial facility, our custom HVAC systems offer precise climate control, energy efficiency, and durability, tailored to your specific requirements.

As a design-build HVAC contractor, we don’t offer out-of-a-box solutions. Rather, we take a custom approach, creating designs and sourcing equipment that aligns with your needs and budget. Our advanced capabilities, such as computerized sheet metal fabrication for ductwork, allow us to meet the demands of virtually any commercial application. We even have experience providing specialty commercial HVAC design-build services, such as systems with precision humidity control. Furthermore, we utilize advanced equipment in our commercial HVAC installations, including products from trusted brands such as Trane, Carrier, and Lennox.

The Benefits of Design-Build for Commercial HVAC Installation

When it comes to commercial HVAC installation, the design-build approach offers significant advantages for businesses. By using an in-house team for our design and installation phases, Hickory Sheet Metal streamlines the entire process, ensuring that the project progresses smoothly from start to finish. Some key benefits of the design-build approach include:

  • Seamless communication: With a single team handling both design and installation, there’s less chance of miscommunication, reducing errors and ensuring that the project stays on track.
  • Faster timelines: Integrating design and construction allows for quicker project completion, with fewer delays caused by waiting on different contractors.
  • Cost efficiency: The streamlined approach helps prevent budget overruns and unexpected costs, making staying within the client’s financial plan easier.
  • Custom solutions: The design-build method ensures that systems are specifically tailored to the building’s requirements rather than relying on generic, out-of-the-box solutions.
  • Improved project coordination: The process ensures a smoother transition from old system removal to new system installation, particularly for complex commercial HVAC system replacements.

When to Consider a Commercial HVAC System Replacement

Many business owners are unsure when it’s time to replace their existing HVAC system. Several signs can indicate it may be time for a commercial HVAC system replacement:

  • Rising energy bills: A noticeable increase in utility costs without any significant changes in usage can be a sign that the system is losing efficiency.
  • Frequent repairs: If your HVAC system requires frequent maintenance or costly repairs, replacing it with a new, more reliable unit might be more cost-effective.
  • Inconsistent temperatures: Difficulty in maintaining consistent temperatures throughout your building could indicate that the system is no longer functioning optimally.
  • Poor indoor air quality: Older systems may struggle to filter air properly, resulting in uncomfortable or unhealthy indoor conditions.
  • Age of the system: If your system is more than 10-15 years old, it may no longer be efficient enough to meet modern energy standards and could cost you more energy and repairs.

As a leading commercial HVAC replacement contractor, Hickory Sheet Metal specializes in guiding business owners through the entire replacement process. Our expert team will assess your building’s requirements and provide recommendations that maximize comfort and energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings With Modern HVAC Systems

One of the major benefits of modern commercial HVAC installations is the significant improvement in energy efficiency. Today’s systems are designed to optimize energy usage, ensuring that businesses can reduce operational costs while maintaining optimal comfort levels. Features like smart thermostats, variable speed compressors, and advanced ventilation systems allow for more precise control over temperature and air quality.

By choosing an energy-efficient HVAC system for your commercial HVAC system replacement, your business may see significant savings on energy bills, making the investment worthwhile in the long run.
