Monday, February 27th, 2023

This is the right time of the year to prep your facility’s HVAC equipment for the warmer months of the middle of the year.

If you still require heating equipment, it will need an inspection and service after its work during the winter.

Your cooling equipment, whether it works year-round (a chiller, server room cooling) or only during the hot months (air conditioning systems necessary for climate control), must have a thorough inspection and tune-up before the warm weather arrives. 

We can see that you have the finest commercial HVAC maintenance in Ajax, ON or elsewhere in the Greater Toronto Area. Our maintenance program is different from what many other contractors offer.

We don’t send out whatever technician is next on the roster to go to your facility and simply go through a checklist. We set up a dedicated maintenance team to work with you, starting with an account manager.

The technicians who arrive at your business will already know your equipment and provide the exact services you need for the best HVAC performance.

The Job of Sizing Commercial HVAC Units

Monday, January 30th, 2023

One of the most important parts of installing new commercial and industrial HVAC equipment is sizing it. To people unfamiliar with HVAC terms, this may sound like trying to determine the right physical size of the equipment.

But the “sizing” we’re referring to is the capacity of the unit to provide either heating or cooling (often both in the case of packaged rooftop units).

This sizing needs to take into account numerous factors about the facility.

When you schedule commercial or industrial HVAC installations/replacements with our expert technicians, they’ll go through several steps to size the new equipment so that it matches your facility’s requirements. Undersizing or oversizing equipment will result in inefficient performance and early unit failures.

Does Your Facility Need Mid-Season HVAC Maintenance?

Monday, January 16th, 2023

Maintenance for residential homes operates on a straightforward schedule: it needs to happen twice a year, once in spring to attend to the air conditioning system, and once in fall to attend to the heating system. 

This basic biannual schedule doesn’t work for many commercial and industrial facilities, however, for several reasons:

  • The equipment in commercial and industrial facilities undergoes more work because it must handle comfort and process needs for a large area and a larger number of people.
  • Because heating and cooling equipment aren’t used only for comfort, they often run during what is considered the “off-season” for a home. Heating and cooling are often necessary around the year to protect equipment and to facilitate the process. There’s little downtime for HVAC equipment.
  • The types of HVAC equipment used in commercial and industrial facilities are much different than residential ones, including systems such as infrared radiant heaters, unit heaters, and make-up air units. These systems have different maintenance requirements.

Common Repair Issues With Rooftop HVAC Units

Monday, June 20th, 2022

three-rooftop-ac-units-maintenanceRooftop HVAC units are among the most frequently employed climate control systems for industrial and commercial facilities. The typical rooftop HVAC unit is a packaged system containing a compressor, expansion device, condenser coil, evaporator coil, and powerful blower fan. Unlike split systems, which place some of their components indoors (the air handler and one of the coils), a rooftop unit handles the heating and cooling in one unit and then sends the conditioned air down into the building’s ventilation system.

Rooftop units are advantageous for businesses because they remove all the bulky and noisy equipment out of the workspace and onto the roof. It’s easy for technicians to access them without disrupting workflow, and they’re modular to allow for a business to continue to expand. A well-installed rooftop unit can last for around 15 years.

However, any HVAC system can encounter repair issues. Below we’ve listed several common rooftop HVAC problems.
