Residential homes have standard maintenance program calendars: maintenance for the air conditioner in spring and for the heater in fall. It’s not so cut-and-dried for industrial facilities where cooling and heating systems often work year-round and handle more jobs than simply providing indoor comfort for customers and employees. The heating systems in an industrial facility serve numerous functions and must operate during all seasons, making their regular maintenance essential in periods when everyone else is scheduling service for their air conditioning systems.

Upgrading Industrial Heating Systems
Monday, March 29th, 2021The Difference Between Industrial and Residential Radiant Heaters
Monday, January 20th, 2020
When you’re looking for a way to provide heat to your house, one option is a radiant heater. For an industrial facility you own or operate, you may also consider radiant heaters for a range of applications. But just as heating a home is different from heating an industrial space, the radiant heaters installed in the two are also different—and not just in size and power.
We’re experts at industrial and commercial heating in Toronto, ON and the Greater Toronto Area, and we often work with industrial radiant heaters to meet specific customer needs. To help you understand the uses of these radiant heaters, we’ll explain what makes them different from residential (as well as standard commercial) radiant heaters.
What to Expect from Industrial Unit Heating
Monday, March 19th, 2018
A standard commercial business space usually requires only sufficient heating for comfort for its employees, clientele, etc. during the winter months and sufficient warmth to protect equipment and allow for process. Standard ducted systems are the most common way to heat these spaces. Industrial facilities, however, are another story, and they often need a variety of heating systems to provide the right indoor climate control.
One of the most helpful of industrial heating systems is the unit heater, which can solve a number of the problems industrial spaces present.
The Benefits of Hydronic Heating for Industrial Facilities
Monday, March 5th, 2018
Hydronic heating is any type of heating done through the circulation of heated liquid. It is sometimes called radiant heating, although in industrial use radiant heating can also refer to other types of heating systems that use hot surfaces. A hydronic system heats liquid and then pipes it to terminal points, where it raises the temperature of an object, such as floorboards, radiators, or baseboard heaters. The heat radiates off the object into the room, raising the temperature of any object the heat touches without raising the temperature of the air between.
Hydronic heating can be found in many types of buildings, and they are becoming popular for many industrial applications. If you are planning on a heating installation for your industrial facility, you may wish to consider using a hydronic system for a number of reasons:
You Need Industrial HVAC Specialists for All Jobs
Monday, January 22nd, 2018
We hope we don’t have to remind you of the importance of relying on trained and professional specialists when it comes to getting work done in an industrial facility. If you own and operate an industrial facility, you already rely on educated and skilled professionals in all the various parts of your operation.
So when it comes to hiring HVAC professionals to deal with repairs to equipment like industrial chillers or make-up air units, or to arrange for the installation of a complete new ventilation system, it’s good business sense to look to industrial specialists.
The requirements of industrial HVAC and commercial HVAC are often substantially different. A company that only does commercial HVAC services may be focused on providing indoor comfort but not have expertise in the climate control necessary for process and to protect equipment. Industrial specialists understand the numerous factors that go into proper climate control and ventilation in industrial facilities.
Benefits of Radiant Heating for Industrial Use
Monday, December 25th, 2017
Environmental control inside an industrial facility is critical for process and the protection of equipment and products. But industrial facilities present numerous challenges when it comes to percision environmental control, particularly the distribution of heat. Forced-air heating systems (furnaces, rooftop units) often cannot do the job. Radiant heating systems are often the answer, and they offer a number of major industrial benefits.
