Unfortunately, having equipment improperly installed in your office building can lead to it wearing out faster than it should. If you need to ensure that your installation doesn’t cause problems with your HVAC system later on, we’re always here to help get it right the first time.
Do you ever wonder whether you’re paying more than is necessary to heat and cool your offices? HVAC equipment can pull more energy when they aren’t operating at peak efficiency, costing you more on your business’s monthly energy bill.
Once a new system is installed, we measure airflow to each to each room and section to make sure it is being delivered at the proper rate. A proper balance is needed to keep the system operating at optimal efficiency.
The invention of central heating systems is often credited to the Ancient Romans. They installed systems of air ducts called hypocausts in the walls and floors of public baths and private villas.
Natural ventilation is the ventilation of a building with outside air without the use of fans or other mechanical systems. In small office buildings, this can be achieved with trickle vents. These are small openings, either placed in a window or near the ceiling to let out hot air.
It’s easy to forget that the acronym “HVAC” isn’t familiar to everyone. "HVAC" stands for "heating, ventilation, and air conditioning," and it refers to all the systems and technologies that provide heat, air flow, and cooling for your home.
The three central functions of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning are interrelated. Companies and inventors all over the world are constantly introducing new methods of HVAC system modernization, higher efficiency, and system control. We’ll be happy to answer any questions about the products we install and service.
If you have an older commercial HVAC system, it may be time to consider replacing it. Not only will this save you from costly repairs down the road, but you can also reduce the amount of energy that your business is using and thus your overhead.
Do you ever worry that the HVAC company you’ve been working with isn’t equipped to handle the needs of their commercial customers? Rest assured that we have substantial experience meeting the unique needs of our commercial customer base.
Are there areas in your home where you can feel the cold air rushing in during the winter and drafts in the summer? A heating and air-conditioning expert can inspect and locate cracks or other areas where the outside can come inside.

During both summer and winter months, one of the worst energy bill killers is a poorly insulated attic. Contact an HVAC professional to determine whether you can benefit from adding more insulation to your attic.
Did you know that each year, grease fires result in over $100 million in property damage of commercial restaurants? Our Industrial and Commercial maintenance and repair services include examining restaurant kitchen exhausts.
These days, there are natural gas heating systems available that offer zoned heat. This allows you to set different temperatures individually for various parts of the home.
The Small Business Administration wants to help you save money on your heating and cooling costs. One of their recommendations is to add ceiling fans to the large rooms and offices in your facility. Fans will help keep occupied zones cooler in summer and warmer in winter.
One of the more common problems with gas furnaces is the blower motor. If the burners stay lit on your furnace, then the blower should come on after a short delay. If the blower does not come on, then the problem is most likely the motor or run capacitor.
Your HVAC system is rated for efficiency using a SEER calculation. The higher the SEER number on a system, the more energy efficient it is. A less efficient system with a lower SEER number may cost less to purchase, but will incur higher energy bills and cost more to operate over time.
When you run a business that strives to be environmentally responsible, you may be anxious to look for new ways to conserve energy. We’re always happy to discuss the installation and maintenance of our most energy-efficient equipment.
It’s important to remember that your business doesn’t have to be treated like all the rest when it comes to your HVAC design and install. If your business has special needs because of the industry, we’re always happy to meet your standards.
Natural gas has the fewest emissions of any home heating fuel. Gas emits 23 percent less carbon dioxide than oil, making it the most environmentally friendly form of fuel. It is the most popular heat source for new builds.
If you've heard the term Btu in your hunt for the perfect new furnace, let us explain what it means. It refers to the British thermal unit, a standardized measurement for heat energy. It is equal the amount of energy necessary to heat one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit -- or let's say from 74 to 75 Degrees F.
In the early 1800s, long before the invention of air conditioning, Floridians kept cool using ice. It was cut from northern lakes during the heart of winter, stored in underground ice houses, then packed in sawdust and shipped by sailing vessel.
The power of an air conditioner is measured in BTUs. This stands for British Thermal Units, and are based on the amount of heat needed to raise a pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit. When measured in tons, one ton of power equals 12,000 BTU.
If you have temporary structures that need heating or cooling, talk to us about portable gas heating and cooling units. They are as efficient as their central HVAC counterparts, and are available in a number of sizes for almost any square footage.
