The larger and more open your building is, the higher your heating and air-conditioning bill will be. Installing energy efficient systems with modern thermostatic controls, can bring tremendous savings in costs – sometimes by as much as fifty percent.
MERV ratings indicate the size of airborne particles an HVAC filter can remove. Filters with MERV ratings between 8 and 11 are typically quite effective, but if your system can accommodate them, and it suits your needs, filters with higher ratings are available.
If your company uses sensitive electronic equipment at your location, climate control is a serious issue. Heat can irreparably damage the components, causing data to be lost and valuable time wasted. An efficient climate-control system will protect your investment.

Energy management systems, or Building Automation Systems (BAS), control energy costs in commercial and industrial facilities. Among its functions is monitoring building use to determine the best times to begin cooling or heating a building, and when to raise or lower the temperatures when it is not in use.
It’s important to remember that you’re always in control of what happens with your HVAC system. While we’ll recommend the most effective repairs or replacements, it’s up to you which option you’ll ultimately choose.
Do you ever feel like your business is spending a fortune in HVAC repairs every time the mercury rises? It may be worth getting a quote on new energy-efficient equipment that will be more reliable.
Central systems are defined as any commercial HVAC system that uses chilled water as a cooling medium. This category includes systems with air-cooled chillers as well as systems that feature cooling towers for heat rejection.
New style refrigerants have gone through a number of refinements since the 1970s. Each subsequent generation of refrigerants has been safer to use and more earth-friendly than the one before it.
One of the benefits of natural gas over oil is that it doesn’t require on site storage. This saves you the hassle of maintaining oil tanks and remembering to refill them.
If your home is for sale, have your heating and air-conditioning expert make sure your heating and cooling system is in the best possible shape. Real estate agents say the central air and heat and roof are most important to potential buyers.

When the traditional Energy Star label appears on gas furnaces, it means they’re designed and certified specifically for use in northern US climates. These furnaces can on average save $94 in energy costs each year and are as much as 16 percent more efficient than baseline models.
Because fossil fuels produce carbon monoxide (CO) when they burn, it is important that we test new heating systems after we install them to ensure that CO is being properly ventilated to the outside and away from the building’s occupants.
Electric air conditioners are usually the largest demand on the electrical systems for most buildings, which can be costly at peak times. Fortunately, gas-powered air conditioners run on more efficient natural gas. These were first used in the US back in 1937.
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.
In commercial HVAC systems, there are many accessories that are often installed along with the duct distribution network, depending on specific building needs. This includes everything from dampers to splitters and turning vanes.
According to historians, the first machine to provide central cooling was created in the 1830s in Florida. Dr. John Gorrie created a machine to lower the temperature of hospital rooms in the summer by blowing air across large blocks of ice.
