Arrange to Service Your Rooftop AC Units Before Summer

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.

How to Tell Your Commercial Boiler Needs Professional Repair

April 2nd, 2018

commercial-boiler-technicianDoes your commercial facility rely on a boiler in any way? Boilers remain popular for many commercial uses, such as providing comfort to a retail environment or to help with process. One reason for this popularity is the high energy efficiency of these systems: using heated water to send waves of heat into a space is more effective at delivering warmth rapidly than blowing around heated air from a furnace or rooftop unit. Boilers also don’t send dust and other particles around a space, and this is often essential for proper building operation—and it’s good for air quality in general as well.

The Benefits of Hydronic Heating for Industrial Facilities

March 5th, 2018

radiant-heating-tubesHydronic heating is any type of heating done through the circulation of heated liquid. It is sometimes called radiant heating, although in industrial use radiant heating can also refer to other types of heating systems that use hot surfaces. A hydronic system heats liquid and then pipes it to terminal points, where it raises the temperature of an object, such as floorboards, radiators, or baseboard heaters. The heat radiates off the object into the room, raising the temperature of any object the heat touches without raising the temperature of the air between.

Hydronic heating can be found in many types of buildings, and they are becoming popular for many industrial applications. If you are planning on a heating installation for your industrial facility, you may wish to consider using a hydronic system for a number of reasons:

You Need Industrial HVAC Specialists for All Jobs

January 22nd, 2018

industrial-vents-and-valvesWe hope we don’t have to remind you of the importance of relying on trained and professional specialists when it comes to getting work done in an industrial facility.
