Comments Off on Is Your Industrial HVAC Technician Legit?

When it comes to commercial or industrial HVAC installation, maintenance and repair, you want to ensure the company and technicians you hire are up for the task. Many HVAC companies offer commercial service, but not all have the experience and expertise needed for large, industrial operations. Before hiring a HVAC contractor, take the time to vet and choose the best one for the job. Here are some tips to ensure your HVAC technician is legit for industrial projects.

  • Does the HVAC company do both residential and commercial work? While there is nothing wrong with doing both, this means they are spread thin. There are many more residential customers than industrial, which means they may not have the resources available when you need them for your business.
  • Experience in industrial HVAC systems. There is a big difference between servicing a commercial HVAC system for a small restaurant and one for a large manufacturing outfit or hospital. Make sure they have experience and references from industrial projects, not just smaller commercial jobs.
  • Years of expertise. Choose a HVAC contractor that has been specializing in industrial systems for decades. You want technicians that can work on older HVAC systems as well as newer ones.
  • Services offered. While you may just need a repair or maintenance service now, consider the needs you may have in the future. Choose a company that offers retrofits, HVAC automation and complete installation of new systems to meet all your current and future HVAC needs.

Your industrial HVAC system can have a large impact on your business. Make sure you find the best contractor to service your system to get the best value for your investment.

Comments Off on Is Your Commercial HVAC Control System Out-of-Date?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