Arrange to Service Your Rooftop AC Units Before Summer

Monday, April 30th, 2018

thermometer-going-redMaintaining the proper climate inside a commercial facility with cooling units isn’t only something to worry about during the hot weather of summer. The heat created in facilities from the equipment inside them often requires cooling systems. For example, server room cooling is essential for most businesses, even small ones, and it’s necessary around the year.

However, summer brings extra challenges for facilities where air conditioning is an essential part of comfort for employees, clients, customers, tenants, etc. This makes it essential to have maintenance service for rooftop air conditioning units before the hot weather arrives. The weather in Toronto is still cool, but it won’t remain that way for much longer—and you don’t want to get caught with any non-working air conditioning equipment when the summer weather strikes.

Summer Weather Isn’t Done Yet: Watch for Commercial AC Repair Needs!

Monday, September 4th, 2017

Handling Server Room Cooling for Your Business

Monday, August 7th, 2017

thermometer-going-redThe server room for any business or facility is vital not only for continued day to day operations, but also to protect the future of the enterprise by protecting its data. Proper climate and humidity control in a server room is essential for these functions, and because each server room has unique needs, it requires a specialized and customized approach to provide the proper server room cooling.

Unfortunately, there are many mistakes that can occur with server room cooling when the job is left to people who lack the training and experience to understand the numerous factors that come into play. This is something we can’t stress enough: no two server rooms are alike. If they are treated as if they are, it can end up in a data loss disaster.

Understanding Tonnage in Commercial Systems

Monday, July 10th, 2017

covered-commercial-hvac-fansThe language of commercial HVAC often sounds strange to people who aren’t in the field—something that’s true of almost any specialized field. But our commercial HVAC experts take pride in working closely with all our customers. It’s one of the reasons most of our customers stay with us for life. We want you to understand what’s happening with your HVAC equipment and what it all means. That way we can maintain great communication that keeps you in the loop.

One example of commercial HVAC lingo you have heard before is tonnage, as in “How much tonnage does a business need for proper climate control?” This sounds like we’re talking about the weight of an HVAC system, but we’re not. Tonnage refers to the cooling and heating capacity of a rooftop HVAC unit or other heat pump/air conditioning system. Finding the ideal tonnage for a commercial or industrial facility is a key part of the work we do.
