Part of installing a commercial HVAC system involves making sure the right amount of power is run to the right places. These can usually be high voltages, depending on the unit, including 120 volts, 208 volts, 240 volts, or even 480 volts.
There are a couple of reasons companies may want to consider switching from HVAC systems with Freon to newer system that use Puron refrigerant. Freon contains carbon, which can be toxic to the planet's protective ozone layer. Also, Puron is more energy-efficient.
It’s important to remember that a furnace has moving parts working together to provide your home with heat. The more those parts have to work, the more likely they’ll eventually break down.
Are you concerned that your existing HVAC unit is too old to properly cool your office during the heat of summer? Let us inspect it to determine if it’s already operating at peak efficiency. If it is, replacement may be your best option.
You can improve employee morale and productivity by upgrading your air-conditioning system. Studies show that when interior temperatures are maintained at a comfortable level, employees experience fewer distractions and are able to focus directly on their work.
Looking to go green? A lot of electricity is produced using coal or oil, which produces high emissions. When you use natural gas for both cooling and heating, you put less demand on the electrical grid, which means fewer emissions and more clean air.
If you have an older system, check your inventory of refrigerant. If it is one that is already phased out, or is soon to be phased out, we can help. We will discuss which option is better – modifying your existing system, or installing a new system.
Many different issues can cause your gas furnace not to work. For instance, if your pilot light goes out or won't stay lit, then your flame sensor or pilot assembly could be clogged or dirty, and it’s probably time to have your system serviced.
One indication that it may be time to replace your commercial HVAC system is if it has started to operate inefficiently, thereby using more energy to heat or cool your business. The most obvious sign of this is inflated utility bills.
Experts recommend setting your thermostat to the lowest comfortable temperature in winter and highest comfortable temperature in summer. What do they suggest? To minimize HVAC costs year round, try setting it to 70 degrees in winter and 78 degrees in summer.
When surveying the market for new HVAC systems for your building, know what refrigerants are used. Chlorine containing refrigerants are scheduled to be phased out by 2030, and given to long life span of new, properly maintained systems, this must be a consideration.
The size HVAC unit you need depends on the square footage of the building, how well it is insulated, residual heat generated by appliances and human population, and the climate of the area. Our experts will give you an accurate calculation of the size you need.
Natural gas is very energy-efficient, which means it can do a lot of clothes drying with very little energy consumption. If the dryer's vented properly, and the correct dryer cycle is selected, this can help make the dryer even more efficient.
Your HVAC system needs regular care and a little TLC. Change the filter regularly. It's there to trap dust and pollen. A dirty filter reduces airflow and causes your system to work harder than it has to. HVAC filters should be replaced (or cleaned) at least twice a year.
The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that indoor pollution, from dust, molds and pollen, can act as asthma triggers for up to 15 million people throughout the country.
There have been many new developments in natural gas air conditioning technology. They provide much higher levels of energy efficiency and reliability than older systems, and are now available in a variety of sizes to meet your needs.
It’s smart to remember that even the best HVAC equipment available for commercial buildings can only perform at optimal levels when it’s properly installed. Working with a skilled HVAC commercial installation team can help to ensure everything’s done right.
HVAC systems are designed to be installed by professionals. Inadequate installation can actually have a negative effect on the system performance and affect your monthly heating bills. Make sure a certified HVAC installer is on the job.
When searching for the best type of dehumidifier, it is important to choose one with a higher moisture-removal rate than you think you need. You should also look for Energy-Star-rated models, since these can help you save money on electricity.
What are "MERV" ratings? It stands for “minimum efficiency reporting values,” and it’s used to label HVAC air filters. Higher MERV numbers indicate the filters remove more airborne particles, but they also create more airflow resistance and must be matched to your system.
We understand that some homeowners are hesitant to call for service because of the cost to replace equipment. Remember, the sooner we find and repair the problem, the less it’s like to cost you.
The Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) is the system used to measure the efficiency of air-conditioners in converting energy to cool air. As in the other rating categories, higher numbers indicate greater efficiency.
Don't let a decrepit heating and cooling system turn off prospective homebuyers. Real estate agents say that the condition of a home's foundation, roof and heating and cooling system are of paramount importance to prospective purchasers.
According to the US Energy Star program, typical households use energy as follows: As many as 46 percent of energy consumed goes for heating and cooling. The remaining categories include water heating (14 percent), appliances (13 percent), lighting (12 percent), electronics (4 percent), and unspecified (11 percent).
