What Are Modular AC Systems?

August 22nd, 2022

For commercial air conditioning customers, there are some big differences from residential services that we need to cover sometimes. Commercial establishments are just a lot different from residential homes, and the cooling systems that are required are just built differently. One of those aspects we’re going to cover today is the fact that air conditioning systems can be set up to be modular.

Modular commercial air conditioners are just systems that can be added to a space when it expands. This means that you don’t just have one commercial AC in Gallatin County, MT, but rather a whole set of modular air conditioners set up on the roof of your building to cool a large amount of space. This is especially important for warehouses and other large areas that require many tons of cooling power, we need to be able to add air conditioning units as demand increases.
