  Look for 4 green flags from your HVAC manufacturer

  You need to finish contracts on schedule and within budget. So it’s painful to put up with malfunctioning equipment causing post-install ​callbacks. Those eat at your bottom line. Same with awful lead times or a lack of installation guidance or, worst of all, shipments with critical errors on arrival. Avoiding these problems shouldn’t entail significant asks from your manufacturer. They should be expectations. Mechanical contractors are in communication with HVAC manufacturers all the time. But the ones who look for key pieces of information when ordering their equipment avoid the pitfalls that derail their competition.  So let’s dive in. Here are green flags mechanical contractors should identify in manufacturers — green flags that make for easier, hassle-free projects. #1 They test their equipment beyond standard benchmarks Every manufacturer will tell you they test their equipment. You’re looking for a manufacturer that can describe exactly how far they go on end-of-line testing. But technical support doesn’t mean much if the person on the other end of the call isn’t a real expert. It’s a green flag when the manufacturer you’re talking to has technicians ...

  Why We Invested In Our Own Facility

  This technical blog was written by Randy Niederer, Director of Marketing at Cambridge Air Solutions.   As a manufacturer of industrial HVAC equipment, we know quite a bit about the problems that poor indoor air quality within your facility can have on your employees during hot summer months. Trying to achieve temperature relief within your facility when it is 100° F outside, and even hotter inside, requires more than opening your dock doors and pulling hot air through your facility while running HVLS fans. For most facilities, including ours, the equipment that is running inside the facility provides additional heat gain that can drive indoor temperatures well above the 100° F outside air temperature. When this happens within the facility your productivity, quality and even safety may be affected. Your ability to retain quality employees can suffer as well as your ability to hire new talent can be difficult as well. Our “Enriching Lives” brand promise is something that we take seriously and strive to provide to all those that we interact with on a daily basis. You know the old saying ...

  What you need to know about your evaporative cooling system and tips for optimization

  Evaporative cooling has become the system of choice for many business owners in dry climates, utilized to cool their facility while keeping energy consumption and operational costs in check, especially compared to traditional compressor-based cooling. The sheer size of the commercial and industrial facilities that are effectively tempered by evaporative cooling offers insight to the significant savings that can be realized first by the system’s installation and then its continued optimization. How Do Evaporative Coolers Work? To optimize performance, we first have to understand how an evaporative cooling system works. The design is simple, yet complex: provide cool, tempered air by converting warmer, dry air through a series of evaporative processes to draw out the air’s natural heat and inject cooler air into your work space.  Often compared to “swamp coolers” in the southwestern United States, evaporative cooling units utilize more advanced technology that enable them to serve as viable alternatives to conventional cooling beyond just the Southwest and for larger spaces. There are direct and indirect technologies available in evaporative cooling, essentially designated by the moisture level in your climate and whether or ...
