Warnings of Failing Rooftop AC Units

Monday, July 5th, 2021

air-conditioning-units-sunny-roofIf your facility is like most modern ones, it uses packaged rooftop AC units to provide it with cooling. For a small retail business, you might only need a single unit to meet your needs. Larger companies may use many of these modular units to deliver the proper climate control within the building. 

The modular design of these ACs makes it easier for technicians to service one of them without a facility losing all of its cooling at once. However, detecting that one or more of the rooftop units is starting to fail is key to acting fast so the equipment can be repaired or replaced with minimum interruption. Your facility may be able to continue to operate when one of these units fails, but it will throw off the climate controls, lead to higher bills, and may damage equipment and process if it’s allowed to continue.

Below we’ll go over some ways you can detect rooftop AC units that are failing and need our assistance to repair or replace them.

Industrial Tankless Water Heaters: Why Consider Installing One?

Monday, October 16th, 2017

industrial-rooftop-pipesIf you have heard about tankless water heaters, you’ve probably heard about them being used for homes. A tankless water heater is an excellent choice for providing hot water to a household because it saves money and probably won’t be overwhelmed by use, which means it won’t run out of hot water. The system will always heat up more water on demand.

But are tankless water heaters viable options for the scale of an industrial facility? Many facility owners and operators might think it’s unlikely that a tankless system will work as a replacement or alternative to a standard tank system, much like a hydronic system or boiler. However, industrial tankless water heaters can be effective and energy efficient for industrial buildings as well. If the right units are professionally installed and matched to the building and its requirements, they offer a number of great benefits. Here are some of them:

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.

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.
