A commercial HVAC system is essential for meeting the heating and cooling needs of your business, its customers, and employees. But aesthetics are important in any place of business; the look and feel of your workplace has a direct impact on both the customer experience and workers' comfort levels. While an HVAC system is crucial, it is a large piece of equipment that may not fit with your exterior design scheme. Below, learn some clever ways to conceal an HVAC unit.

How to Conceal Your Business's HVAC System

1. Enhance Your Landscaping

Planting trees and shrubs around an HVAC system will accomplish two goals: concealing the unit and improving your business's greenspaces. Taller perennials like hibiscus,

Oriental lilies, and delphiniums are beautiful choices for flowering plants. Evergreen shrubs and ornamental trees also do well in covering HVAC units; just trim them regularly so they don't block the vents.

2. Build a Fence

A fence is an easy solution that will keep a commercial HVAC system from marring the appearance of your business exterior. As long as the fence doesn't block airflow to and from the unit, you can choose from several different styles and materials.

From simple latticework or pickets to bamboo walls or ornate wrought iron adorned with greenery, a fence not only hides an HVAC unit, but it also adds an interesting feature to your property.

3. Enclose It With a Cover

Another option is to hire a carpenter to construct an enclosure for your HVAC system. Again, make certain the construction isn't a solid box; you want air to flow in and out.

Consider a design with an open-top or spaced wooden slats or a privacy screen designed for outdoor use. Decorate the outside of the cover with paint, plants, or mosaics.
