Comments Off on Energy Savings Equals Greater Profits

One of the largest expenditures for many industrial businesses is energy costs. Every penny that is spent on electricity, gas and other energy expenditures directly affects your bottom line. One of the largest energy drains in manufacturing and warehousing is climate control. Finding ways to reduce energy use through your HVAC system can minimize your overhead and equal more profits every year.

There are a few ways you can cut down on energy used for heating and cooling your business. If you have an older commercial HVAC system, it is most likely less efficient than the options now available. While upgrading your system does require an initial investment, the savings in the long run can pay for the initial cost and add up to yearly savings off your energy bill. Some upgrades to consider for your HVAC system include:

  • Replacing with a new efficient HVAC system. If your HVAC is ten or more years old, the efficiency of the new systems available can make a replacement worth the cost.
  • A retrofit of your existing system. Updating your existing system with a retrofit through a quality commercial HVAC service company can improve the efficiency of your system without the higher cost of complete replacement.
  • Upgrading to an automation system can help manage energy costs; your system can be controlled remotely and the automated system can minimize energy use.

Don’t let your profits go out the window with high energy bills. Talk to your local commercial HVAC experts to find ways to improve your energy use for climate control in your business. A simple upgrade to your HVAC system can save thousands in energy costs that directly affects your profits.

Top 5 Uses for Ductless Mini Splits

April 4th, 2018 Posted in Ductless Mini-Split Systems
Comments Off on Top 5 Uses for Ductless Mini Splits

An energy efficient option for air conditioning small spaces is the ductless mini split. These compact A/C units can be added without a duct system to keep areas cool without hooking into a central system. Here are five of the top uses for these efficient A/C options – you may find a use for one in your home or business.

  1. Have a garage or workshop that gets hot in the summer months? Add a mini split that you can use when spending time on projects in your garage or man cave.
  2. Spare rooms. Why spend money to keep a spare room cool when you aren’t using it? Add a ductless mini split that can be used on an as-needed basis.
  3. Main rooms. If you have one room in the house that you spend most of your time, a mini split can save on energy costs by only cooling that one room when the rest of the house is not being utilized. Living rooms or bedrooms are common areas that mini splits are added.
  4. Do you have outbuildings like a barn or utility shed that you spend time in during the summer? Mini splits are great for cooling these smaller buildings without a large expenditure in installation or energy.
  5. Home office. Many people add on a home office to their home that may not be connected to the central air system. A ductless mini split is perfect for any addition to your home.

To learn more about how much ductless mini ducts cost to install and more information on these efficient units, call your local HVAC service company that offers mini split installations.

Managing Humidity in Your Home

April 4th, 2018 Posted in Dehumidifiers
Comments Off on Managing Humidity in Your Home

Musty odors, moldy bathrooms and bad indoor allergies can all be signs of high humidity in your home. Most regions have certain months that are higher than normal humidity – for some it is winter, for others summer is the wetter season. Regardless of where you live, keeping humidity under control inside your home can protect your house and health.

What Level of Humidity Is Too High?

Humidity must be the right balance indoors to avoid issues. If there is not enough moisture in the air, your comfort can be affected. Too much moisture and your home becomes a breeding ground for mold and mildew that can ruin wood, fabrics, walls and be a detriment to your health. The right humidity balance indoors should be hovering around 35-45%.

To keep your home at the ideal humidity level, you first need to know where it is at now. If you have had problems with mold, mildew or condensation on windows, there is a good chance you have a high humidity problem. A hygrometer can measure your humidity levels – you can buy one or have your local HVAC service perform a humidity test on the air in your home.

If you do have high humidity, you can invest in a dehumidifier that can keep your moisture levels in the right zone. For some homes, only certain areas have humidity issues, like a basement or garage. In those cases, a portable dehumidifier is the best option. For whole home moisture balance, a whole home dehumidifier can be added to your HVAC system to keep your air quality at the ideal moisture levels. Both options can be found through your local HVAC service company.

Give Your HVAC System a Spring Tune-Up

April 4th, 2018 Posted in HVAC Maintenance
Comments Off on Give Your HVAC System a Spring Tune-Up

Spring is the perfect time to schedule HVAC system maintenance. The mild months of spring are usually when you need your HVAC system the least; why not take the time to get it serviced during this mild season? When the hot summer months and cold winter months are in full swing, HVAC service companies are busy handling cooling and heating emergencies. Spring is a great time to get a quick appointment for a tune-up for your A/C and heating system.

Benefits of a Tune-Up

Like all motorized systems, your HVAC has components that need maintenance, repairs and replacements. A tune-up service gives your system the maintenance it needs to be efficient while preventing issues during the higher-use months of summer and winter. Tune-ups usually include:

  • Filter check/change
  • Inspection
  • Lubrication, if needed
  • Check all components, replace as needed

A quick spring tune-up can catch small issues before they become big problems. A small leak can be caught and repaired before it ends up shutting down your A/C on the hottest day of the year. Preventive repairs are much less expensive than an emergency call for a breakdown and much more convenient for you and your family. Tune-ups can also help improve the efficiency of your HVAC system and increase the longevity, saving you money in both energy costs and system replacement.

Don’t wait for your HVAC system to breakdown when you need it the most. Take time this spring to call your local HVAC service company to schedule your tune-up during the mild weather. You will be happy you did when you are staying cool and comfortable all summer long.
