Your employees may grumble at cost-cutting measures like raising the thermostat by three to five degrees during warm weather. One way to save money while still keeping everyone happy is to add ceiling, oscillating, or desk fans to work areas. The added air flow will make rooms feel cooler.
Do you ever hate calling for service on your HVAC system because you know you’re getting a sales pitch? When you work with us, we’ll only recommend new equipment when we believe it could improve your system’s efficiency.
Today’s HVAC systems are the most efficient in the history of climate control systems. From programmable thermostats to zone temperature control, to systems that use minimal energy, we can design a system that is right for you.
Maintenance is one of the keys to keeping your heating and cooling system in top-notch shape. Check with a heating and air-conditioning expert before the really cold or hot weather arrives to check out your system.
If yours in an older air-conditioning system, the refrigerant used in it may be part of the family that is being phased out by the government. We will inspect your system for you and update you on what preparations you need to make.
Do you ever feel like your HVAC system is working overtime to get the house to a comfortable temperature once you get home? Installing a programmable thermostat can ensure your home is already the desired temperature when you walk in the door.
A heat pump is effective and green heating method which runs on electricity and integrates well with air conditioning systems. Unfortunately, it's not effective below certain temperatures, which is why many commercial systems integrate gas systems for when temperatures get too low.
Did you know that a typical furnace will lose a small percentage of its energy efficiency every year? However, with consistent maintenance, you can often maintain up to 95 percent of the furnace’s original efficiency for the life of the furnace.
Did you know that gas-heated air is about 110 to 130 degrees: warmer than body temperature? Natural gas furnaces deliver warm air without the cool draftiness often associated with electric systems.
Packaged commercial HVAC systems can be anything from unitary systems (such as rooftop units) and split systems that are used to heat and cool commercial space. Most of these systems will not rely on chilled water as an intermediate cooling medium.
With the help of Willis Carrier and other prominent mechanical engineers of the turn of the century, air conditioning became practical for commercial applications. If you were a trader at the New York Stock Exchange, work became easier in 1902, when the first central cooling and heating system was installed.
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 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.
We understand that no one likes the kind of surprises that come from a malfunctioning HVAC system. Whether you just need a quick repair or a total system replacement, we’re always ready to help get your unit back up and running so that you can get back to business.
Did you know that some high-efficiency gas furnaces offer blowers that feature a range of speed levels? This allows them to maintain a more consistent temperature level while at the same time saving energy.
Did you know that your old air conditioner may be an energy hog? Old style air conditioners aren't nearly as energy-efficient as newer models. Check your system's SEER rating. For every SEER number higher on a new model, you can expect to save 5 percent on energy costs.
One effective way to extend the life of a commercial HVAC system is to keep the onboard evaporator coils clean. Coil cleaning should be part of a strategy of annual professional maintenance and frequent filter changes.
Do you keep your house at the same temperature whether your family is there or not? If you turn your thermostat higher for up to eight hours at a time, that can save money on your utility bill.
Did you know that not every home has the most efficient HVAC design for the floorplan? If you’re concerned that your system is operating at maximum efficiency, we can help you evaluate it and design a new one.
Buying a heating and cooling system that fits your home is very important. If you have an oversized system, it will not work efficiently, cycling on and off frequently, but for short periods of time. This will lead to a higher utility bill.
Natural gas and propane pack a lot of power and a lot of energy in a small amount of space. It's one of the reasons they're such a versatile fuel source. Gas can be used for clothes dryers, furnaces, boilers, water heaters, stoves, refrigerators, or air conditioners.
If how your building is used has changed since it was first constructed, replacing the old HVAC system may be a smart move. As traffic flow and occupancy hours have adjusted, as well as what equipment is used onsite, the demands placed on the old system may be more than it was designed to handle.
