So you've thoroughly sealed your floors, walls, roof and windows. But why are you still incurring unusually high heating bills? Your furnace may even be brand new and well serviced, but yet you can't seem to keep the heating bills to a minimum. The answer could lie in your attic.

To help you decide on the best refrigeration unit for commercial use, note a few important questions to ask before buying and having such a unit installed at your facility.

It does not strip air of its moisture, and this helps in preventing the effects of dry air, which include an itchy throat, watery eyes and irritated sinuses.
