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.

Maintenance Is Essential for Commercial Geothermal Systems

Monday, November 13th, 2017

geothermal-loopsBoilers and cooling towers are expected for many commercial and industrial buildings. But they aren’t the only ways to provide proper environmental controls throughout the year. Commercial geothermal systems are types of powerful heat pumps that rely on the thermal energy drawn from the ground to deliver comfort to a facility or business. The heat pump either draws thermal energy from the ground to provide heat, or it changes direction to use the ground as a heat sink where it can deposit thermal energy removed from the building.

The secret of the process—that is, the reason it offers such reliable indoor temperatures while costing less to run than many other industrial/commercial HVAC systems—is that the geothermal loops access a relatively stable temperature in the earth. No matter the weather conditions above ground, the temperature in the earth below the frost line remains stable, around 10°C, which is more than enough to work for both heating and cooling requirements.

Arrange for Personalized HVAC Maintenance

Monday, July 24th, 2017

corssed-wrenchesMaintenance. It’s a standard word everyone knows in the commercial world, and everyone knows it’s important. But not everybody knows how important it is, or that not all maintenance is equal. When you arrange to have regular maintenance for the vital equipment that controls the environment in your commercial building, industrial building, or other facility, do you know exactly what you’re paying for? If it’s a random technician sent from a contractor that doesn’t work closely with you, you’ll probably get a maintenance inspection and check-up that consists of going down a list of items and checking them off one by one, without much regard for the numerous differences between different types of air conditioning, heating, and other environmental systems.

What your business needs is personalized maintenance through a contractor who customizes the service to meet your specific needs and who works closely with you. That’s what you’ll get when you arrange for commercial HVAC maintenance in Toronto, ON with us.

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.

The Job of the Economizer in Commercial HVAC Systems

Monday, June 26th, 2017

commercial-rooftop-unit-fanOne of the basic units of commercial air conditioning and heating is the rooftop unit. Most facilities use a rooftop unit to provide comfortable conditions for employees, customers, and other people in the building, and/or protect equipment and process.

Many business owners aren’t aware of the workings of their rooftop units. There’s nothing wrong with that: it’s the reason you want to hire commercial HVAC professionals to handle everything from air conditioning to indoor air quality services. But a bit of knowledge can be immensely helpful, especially when it comes to a key part of HVAC equipment that can provide benefits for indoor air quality and a lowering of energy costs.

We’re going to take a look at the economizer, a component of rooftops unit that your business or facility may or may not have already.
