Schedule Commercial HVAC Maintenance During the Spring Lull

May 11th, 2020

corssed-wrenchesYou know how hot and humid Toronto gets during the summer. But the summer weather hasn’t hit yet, and we’re in a period of cool to cold weather here in May. It’s a deceptive time halfway between summer and winter, and it’s easy to forget the importance of having maintenance for your commercial HVAC equipment done before the intense heat arrives.

Professional Server Room Cooling Is the ONLY Server Room Cooling

April 27th, 2020

thermometer-going-redFor a business that relies on a server room/computer room as a central hub for operations—and this includes most facilities—proper climate control in this room is essential. The equipment in server rooms generate a large amount of heat in a small space with little air circulation, and the equipment is sensitive to high temperatures. Inadequate cooling for a server room means damaged equipment and potentially devastating data loss.

How do you cool down a server room? The answer isn’t a straightforward HVAC solution that just any technician can provide. You need the best professionals on this job, people who specialize in commercial and industrial HVAC that goes beyond simply providing comfort for people. Quality commercial HVAC is also about protecting equipment and process.

April 13th, 2020

three-rooftop-ac-units-maintenanceWhen it comes to industrial HVAC in Toronto, ON, the transition from chilly winters to humid summers can put immense strain on rooftop units. Having properly operating rooftop HVAC units is essential for any industrial facility to maintain the temperatures and ventilation needed for process, comfort, and more. Since most of these packaged rooftop units are heat pumps, they operate in all types of weather.

But when the snows melt and the shift in the weather begins, it doesn’t mean rooftop units are suddenly having an easier job. Without professional maintenance and inspections to help during the transitional period, rooftop units can suffer damage and lose significant amounts of energy efficiency.

The Importance of Customized Spring Commercial HVAC Maintenance

March 30th, 2020

service-blue-markerNo one needs to tell you the winters in Toronto are rough. If you’re a business owner, you know the strain the temperatures and other conditions put on your facility over the season. You don’t want this strain extending into the rest of the year, particularly the heat of summer. Much of the HVAC system for a commercial facility runs throughout the year and doesn’t receive a “break” when temperatures warm up. This is why regular spring commercial HVAC maintenance is essential each year.

Commercial Ventilation in Early Spring

March 16th, 2020

commercial-lobby-with-vents-ductsProper ventilation for a commercial facility is essential, regardless of the type of facility. Ventilating a space is required to allow for proper humidity balance (which can make or break process for many businesses), healthy conditions for workers and employees, control of mold and mildew issues, mitigation of allergens, and reduction of dust and other contaminants that can cause damage to machinery.

Early spring is a tricky time for ventilation, as the weather begins to shift between warm and cold, and facilities deal with the need for both commercial cooling and commercial heating in Toronto, ON. Indoor air quality in a commercial facility can lower rapidly during spring if the ventilation system isn’t kept in proper shape, the ventilation system is outdated, or the wrong type was installed.
