Comments Off on Is Your Commercial HVAC Control System Out-of-Date?

In many manufacturing environments, controlling the air quality is vital for production. Many products require a stabilized temperature and high levels of air purity during production. While you can manually manage your HVAV system with an older pneumatic system, digital direct controls or automation systems offer a higher level of sophistication and management. If you are relying on an older control system for your HVAC system, it may be time to upgrade.

Upgrading to Automation

While digital direct controls offer more accuracy than traditional pneumatic systems for commercial HVAC control, automation offers more advantages. Automation reduces the need for constant manual monitoring on the production floor, regulating temperatures and air quality within set parameters. Automation can be retrofitted to an older system or integrated with a new HVAC system.

HVAC automation allows you to set your HVAC system controls to regulate all aspects of the environment and air quality. You can set fault detection alarms that can alert your management team 24/7 through remote access. This ensures that any issues are resolved immediately, reducing lost productivity and damaged products. Some other benefits include:

  • Improved energy efficiency
  • Automated data collection
  • 24/7 access to controls via computer/mobile devices
  • Off-site monitoring for multiple locations

Advanced commercial HVAC automation systems may require an initial investment, but can save your company money in the long run. Reduced labor, lower energy costs and increased productivity can all impact the savings that automated controls can offer for your commercial HVAC system.

If you are ready to upgrade the control system for your commercial HVAC, consider automation. Improve your ability to control your commercial HVAC system and see a return on your investment with better quality and higher productivity.

Is Climate Control Affecting Productivity in Your Business?

January 17th, 2017 Posted in Commercial HVAC Service & Repair
Comments Off on Is Climate Control Affecting Productivity in Your Business?

As a business owner, productivity is a direct link to your bottom line. Finding ways to keep your employees productive is essential for profitability and growth. While you may have addressed many common factors that can enhance performance, one area you may have overlooked is environmental factors such as climate control. If your HVAC system is having problems, it could be affecting the performance of your workers.

A survey of 4,285 American workers done by CareerBuilder found that 22% of them claimed that a workplace that is too hot affects their productivity. 11% also reported that when their workplace was too cold, it had an impact on their performance. These numbers suggest that climate control is a bigger issue than many employers may realize.

This is not just about how workers feel. Another study measured the performance of workers when the temperature was changed in their work environment. This study performed by Cornell University measured the typing errors of workers when the temperature was lowered out of the comfort range. Errors increased when the temperature fell below 68 degrees. When the temperature remained between 68-77 degrees, errors dropped by 44% and typing output increase 150%. For the company studied, this equaled a 10% increase of labor costs when the temperature was too low.

Maintaining your HVAC to optimum levels could have a positive impact on your productivity. A poorly functioning HVAC system can increase energy costs and impact the comfort and productivity of your employees. Find a reputable commercial HVAC service company that can perform regular maintenance on your system to improve your business’ work environment and improve your bottom line.

Comments Off on Manage Your Overhead Costs with Planned HVAC Maintenance

Whether you own a small business or run a large facility, managing your overhead costs is crucial to financial stability. Unforeseen emergency repairs can cause havoc on your budget, especially if they result in downtime for your business. Keeping your HVAC system in top condition is one way to avoid expensive repairs and inconvenient downtime. Planned HVAC maintenance should be part of your business plan to effectively manage your overhead costs.

Imagine your HVAC failing on the hottest or coldest day of the year. What kind of issues could that cause for your business? In an industrial setting, high heat from equipment must be tampered with cooler air for a safe work environment. An HVAC failure can put a stop to productivity, costing much more than just repair. Often these HVAC failures could have been prevented with routine maintenance and inspections, saving you time and money off emergency repairs during the peak climate seasons.

The best plan of action is to find a local commercial HVAC company that offers comprehensive maintenance plans for your HVAC system. With planned, year-round maintenance, many breakdowns can be avoided. With scheduled inspections and preventive services, small issues can be fixed before they lead to complete system failures Some HVAC companies also offer maintenance plans that cover repairs as well as regular service, making it easier to plan for your HVAC costs.

Don’t let a HVAC breakdown put a large dent in your business’ budget with excessive overhead costs. Find a reliable HVAC company that specializes in commercial systems and offers a maintenance program that will keep your business climate-controlled all year round.

Tips for Businesses Considering an HVAC Retrofit

August 19th, 2016 Posted in Commercial HVAC Service & Repair
Comments Off on Tips for Businesses Considering an HVAC Retrofit

When it comes time to replace an HVAC system for a commercial or industrial building, there are many factors to consider. This can be a large project that involves much more than a simple replacement of just a few HVAC components. For large scale businesses, this can require changes in your building’s structure and a large amount of welding, electrical and carpentry work from several different contractors. To avoid expensive shutdowns of your productivity floor or inconvenience for your tenants, consider these tips to make sure your retrofit goes smoothly.

  • Hire a commercial HVAC expert. First and foremost, you want an HVAC service company that specializes in commercial and industrial applications. This is not a job for an HVAC company that does mostly residential and small business HVAC installation and service.
  • Find a retrofit specialist. Your HVAC company should also have extensive experience in HVAC retrofit projects. This is much different than installing for new construction where time and budget constraints are not as crucial.
  • Retrofit coordinator. There may need to be several different contractors working together to complete an HVAC retrofit. To ensure a quick and efficient install, hire an HVAC contractor that offers project coordination services for retrofit projects. Having the project overseen and managed under one contractor can help avoid miscommunication and project delays for maximum efficiency.

While there are many HVAC service companies that service and install commercial HVAC systems, it is important to choose carefully for a retrofit project. Downtime for any commercial enterprise is expensive, so it is worth the investment to find an industrial HVAC company that is experienced in HVAC retrofits so that the job is completed on time and within budget.

Preventing Commercial HVAC Problems

June 27th, 2016 Posted in Commercial HVAC Service & Repair
Comments Off on Preventing Commercial HVAC Problems

Managing a commercial facility has many moving components, including maintaining your HVAC system. Whether you are a property manager for retail spaces, running a manufacturing business or the general manager of a hotel, an HVAC problem can cause major disruption and expenses. Imagine your building losing heat on the coldest day of the year or your tenant, employee or guest’s frustration if the A/C goes out in mid-August. The best way to resolve commercial HVAC issues is to avoid them altogether.

HVAC Maintenance Plans

Most HVAC problems can be prevented through ongoing maintenance. Waiting for a problem to arise can cost you more in repairs, plus add to that expense in lost revenue and productivity. HVAC maintenance plans are a solution to prevent most common breakdowns by keeping your system in good repair. Having regular inspections, service and proactive part replacement can prevent an emergency repair call in the middle of the night or interrupting your day off with a HVAC problem.

Not only does investing in a maintenance plan for your commercial HVAC system help avoid emergency repairs, it can save your company money off energy costs. A well-maintained HVAC system will work more efficiently and cut down on your monthly overhead. When you consider the cost of a preventive maintenance plan versus the expense of more emergency repairs, loss of productivity, employee/tenant/customer complaints and higher energy costs, it makes sense to invest in HVAC maintenance.

Get your company’s commercial HVAC system on a preventive maintenance plan – call your local HVAC experts that only service, install and maintain industrial or commercial HVAC systems for more information. With the hot summer days ahead, now is the perfect time to get on a preventive HVAC plan.
