What You Need to Know About Commercial HVAC Zoning

Monday, April 10th, 2023

Does your commercial facility have an HVAC system that’s controlled through a single thermostat? That sounds convenient, but it also means that no matter what, you’ll have a single temperature throughout the facility.

Actually, you’ll have a single temperature setting for the facility, but the temperature will fluctuate throughout it because of things like heat gain through windows, heat from equipment and light, loss of heat through less insulated areas, and constant changes depending on how many people are in the room. 

This “one temperature to rule them all” approach doesn’t just mean lack of comfort for people in your facility. It also means energy waste and potential damage to equipment and processes in areas that have the wrong temperatures.

Instead of constantly adjusting the single thermostat to get around these problems, you can opt for the installation of commercial zoning.

Time to Plan for Seasonal Maintenance for Your Facility

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.

Does Your Facility Need Mid-Season HVAC Maintenance?

Monday, January 16th, 2023
winter-scene

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.

Monday, September 12th, 2022

The Job of the Commercial/Industrial Chiller

Monday, April 11th, 2022

industrial-rooftop-pipesProviding air conditioning for a commercial or industrial facility is much different than air conditioning a residential home. Most houses use the same type of refrigerant-based split systems to provide cooling. There are some variations in design, such as ductless mini splits and packaged units, but they still operate on the exact same principles. 

With commercial and industrial facilities, air conditioning can mean several different jobs with different goals. Rooftop units may handle comfort needs in a way similar to residential air conditioning, but commercial facilities also have cooling requirements for process and for equipment, such as server room cooling. The air conditioning system for a business often encompasses several types of cooling systems—such as the chiller, which we’re going to look at closer today.

The Important Function of Make-Up Air Units

Monday, December 20th, 2021

commercial-air-duct-largeYet another harsh winter in Toronto is getting started, and we can expect temperatures to drop much lower than the 3°C we’re currently experiencing. If you own or operate a commercial business, this is the time of year when you’ll have your facility sealed off from the outside weather as much as possible, both for the purposes of comfort and protection of equipment and safety, and to keep energy bills from rising exponentially.

But the more sealed a facility, the more its indoor air quality starts to suffer. We’re commercial HVAC specialists and one of the most important services we offer for our clients in GTA is helping to battle the decline in indoor air quality that happens during the extreme winters. One of our key tools for helping boost indoor air quality at this time of year (and throughout the year) is the make-up air unit.
