Easy ways to fund new commercial air conditioning
If you’re considering installing new air conditioning or upgrading your current system, then you’ll naturally be thinking about the cost.
Office air conditioning systems are surprisingly affordable. Replacement systems will typically only require replacement units – ductwork and pipework can be cleaned and reused. New systems are equally affordable as they are designed for easy installation and maintenance.
Whether you require unit upgrades or a completely new air conditioning or ventilation system, the government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance scheme enables businesses to offset 100% of capital expenditure on qualifying assets in the first year.
New air conditioning will SAVE you money!
Before we dip into the various means of financial support, there are some other important factors to consider that will help you weigh up the decision on whether to invest in new air conditioning.
Air conditioning improves air quality which saves businesses money. Here’s how:
Air conditioning is proven to improve productivity – multiple studies have proven that good indoor air quality in office environments has a direct effect on cognition and energy levels which can have a positive effect on business performance.
Air conditioning improves employee well-being and reduces staff absences – modern air conditioning filtration systems remove carbon dioxide, dust, allergens, bacteria, odours, fumes and almost all types of viruses.
Air conditioning removes moisture and prevents mould – they prevent the build-up of condensation which can lead to mould spores that can cause serious lung and skin conditions.
Air conditioning is cheaper to run than gas central heating – modern, energy-efficient air conditioning systems can reduce energy costs by up to 70%.
As you can see, air conditioning can save businesses a ton of money in the long run.
Does air conditioning qualify for Enhanced Capital Allowance?
Yes. Most modern air conditioning systems are classified as air-to-air heat pumps – renewable energy.
All types of energy-efficient air conditioning and ventilation systems will qualify for ECA.
