After your system is installed, there is some basic maintenance you can perform in order to keep it running at peak efficiency. We will explain basic procedures with you, including how to change the filters, and review the owner’s manual with you.
With a radiant heating system, you don't need a ductwork system. Heating water or coils under the floor radiate warmth that is absorbed by your body.
If a key purpose in your building design is to take the LEED with energy efficiency, heating and air-conditioning systems are evaluated and can garner points in several areas. Work with us from the beginning of the project to ensure that you meet the requirements.
The first gas company in the United States was founded in Baltimore in 1816. At the time, it wasn't just used for heating. In fact, it was far more commonly used for lighting, both in houses and for streetlights, with the first gas lamp lit in 1817.
Your home's air conditioner isn't the only piece of indoor residential equipment that utilizes a compressor and pressurized gas. Care to guess what other appliances use similar technology? Two that come to mind are your refrigerator and dehumidifier.
The type of HVAC design and system that you need for your commercial space is going to depend primarily on the type of business you are running and the subsequent floor plan and design of the building. For instance, there will be different requirements for an office space than for a warehouse or healthcare facility.
Terminal units provide local control of airflow in large central air conditioning systems. The majority of terminal units in commercial HVAC systems are used for air volume control and also have reheat coils.
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.
Do you ever worry that the conditions in your warehouse could be making your employees sick because of a lack of ventilation? Let’s talk about how installing the right HVAC system could help to keep everyone safe from harmful fumes.
Air conditioning is credited with allowing advances in medicine and even human life expectancy. When air-conditioning was created, it helped defeat malaria, decreased infant mortality, inhibited bacteria, and advanced developments in surgery.
We recognize that certain industries can have more exacting standards when it comes to air handling and cooling. Let’s talk about the nature of your business and what allowances may be necessary when we install your HVAC system.
While it may feel like a waste of money to service an HVAC system that’s working fine, it can help you save money in the long run by catching minor repairs before they morph into a bigger issue.
Restaurant kitchens, as well as bathrooms, typically have mechanical exhausts to control odors and sometimes humidity. Factors in the design of such systems include the flow rate and noise level. Direct drive fans are available for many applications, and can reduce maintenance needs.
We actually recommend that you turn on and test your furnace before the first frost of the year. This way, if there isn’t warm air coming from the vents or you discover another issue, we can repair it in plenty of time before the cold weather sets in.
In case of power outages, having a gas source will help you stay warm and allow you to prepare meals. Gas is supplied through pipelines and therefore is unaffected by electric power cuts. In this way, gas is the safer option.
If you are considering a new HVAC system for your business, you may want to first consider any ways to reduce your load - the amount of heating and cooling used in a year. This can include energy-efficient windows, upgraded lighting systems and additional insulation.
Did you know that a gas furnace can deliver air from the vent that is up to 40 degrees warmer than that delivered from an electric heat pump? In addition, gas furnaces are able to heat your home much faster while using less energy.
Does it ever seem like certain rooms in your office building simply won’t get cool? While it could be a simple matter of improper dampering, it may be your space. Remember, large warehouse spaces can take longer to cool than smaller offices do.
Experts highly recommend that you have your furnace cleaned and serviced every year, particularly when it comes to older furnaces. Over time, old furnaces can develop small cracks in the combustion chamber through which carbon dioxide can leak into your home.
Why is indoor air quality so important? Pollutants such as bacteria, smoke, and mold can make life miserable for workers and customers with asthma or allergies.
A full HVAC system is a major investment for a business, and if properly done, it will last for years, so you want to be sure it fits your specifications. That's why commercial HVAC installers work with you to design the whole system to fit your precise needs.
In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Clean Air Act. It established guidelines for the safe handling of refrigerant gasses. The EPA estimates that 700,000 cases of chronic bronchitis and 200,000 premature deaths have been avoided since the enactment of the Clean Air Act.
Are you worried that your HVAC system is on its last leg? Having your system checked out could give you a better guess as to when it will go out for good; and possibly give you some time to save for a replacement.
Before we install any type of heating or air-conditioning, we will need to conduct a load calculation for your building to determine the structure’s heating and cooling requirements; this requires more than simply computing the square footage of the building.
If you think you can tough out the summer without air conditioning just like your grandparents used to, think again. Modern homes aren't constructed using the same climate controlling techniques as they were a couple of generations ago. Those cooling breezeways and transoms have given way to the electronic age -- and air conditioning.
If you notice any issues with your gas HVAC system, it’s important to call for service right away. Since gas can be dangerous to work with when you don’t have significant experience, it’s not suitable for DIY repairs.
Remember when you were shopping for a new home? A roof in disrepair or an old cooling and heating system raise red flags for homebuyers, who usually decide to focus on other homes in better condition.
