Convenience stores need to maintain multiple temperature zones with precision. Count on AAON for unmatched reliability and serviceability.

Fast, personalized convenience. It’s what your customers expect. We help make it happen with convenience store HVAC solutions.

One of the major HVAC challenges that convenience stores face is maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, especially in hot or cold weather. With AAON, you can deliver on customer comfort while preserving temperature-sensitive food and beverages.

  • About Convenience Stores

    Small but mighty. People rely on convenience stores to be available when and where they need them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While generally considered small retail businesses, convenience stores experience high-traffic locations that sell a variety of everyday items, such as snacks, drinks, groceries, and toiletries. 

    More modern convenience stores can include kitchens which generate a lot of heat and humidity as well as ​​walk-in cooler spaces that come with their own challenges to maintain. This means that convenience stores require flexible and energy efficient HVAC solutions to keep customers happy and perishable products preserved. 

  • Convenience Store HVAC Considerations
    Humidity Control                          
    Customers constantly opening doors to see what’s inside can cause a case refrigerator to work harder to maintain product temperature and humidity. In addition, high humidity can cause glass doors to frost which detracts from the shopper's ability to see what’s inside. Loss of visibility can result in loss of sales, while overall high humidity levels affect the overall level of comfort for customers. 

    Indoor air quality                                   
    With the continuous flow of people and products in and out of the store, it's important to maintain good indoor air quality to prevent the spread of germs and ensure a comfortable shopping experience.

    Energy efficiency                        
    Convenience stores have a high demand for HVAC systems due to their 24/7 operation and the need to maintain comfortable temperatures for customers and perishable items. This can result in high energy bills, so energy efficiency is a major consideration for HVAC solutions.

    Space limitations                   
    Convenience stores are typically smaller in size and have limited space for HVAC equipment. This requires HVAC solutions that are compact and can be installed in tight spaces.

    Packaged Rooftop Units (RTUs)
    These HVAC units are often used in convenience stores because they are compact, easy to install, and can be customized to meet specific heating and cooling needs. They can also be placed on the roof to save space.

    Modulating Hot Gas Reheat
    Provides control of the humidity levels without overcooling the space for comfortable occupant comfort. Reduces condensation on the refrigeration cases and products for improved product visibility and food freshness. 

    Energy Recovery
    Designed to help improve indoor air quality by removing stale air and replacing it with fresh air. They can also help to reduce energy costs by recovering heat or coolness from the outgoing air and using it to condition the incoming air.

    Refrigeration Systems
    These systems are essential for storing food and beverages at safe temperatures. They include walk-in coolers and freezers, reach-in refrigerators, and display cases.

    Modulating Cooling Capacity
    Control the level of cooling you actually need, (add something about variable speed).
