Choosing the Right Commercial Air Conditioning Contractor

Monday, May 1st, 2023

Air conditioning systems for commercial facilities have larger functions than those for residential buildings. For example, commercial cooling often works year-round since a building may need specific climate controls to protect equipment and to allow for certain processes. No matter the job of a commercial AC system, it needs to run reliably in peak condition to protect operations.

This makes it imperative if you’re a business owner or operator to have the best contractor for your commercial AC in Naperville, IL, and throughout Chicagoland. You want to choose carefully and do your research. What should you look for?

Commercial Heating & Maintaining Good Indoor Air Quality

Monday, March 20th, 2023

Whatever type of heating system you use for your commercial facility (rooftop units, radiant heating systems, boilers, gas furnaces, etc.), you must also pay attention to your facility’s indoor air quality (IAQ). Unfortunately, indoor air quality is often low for commercial properties, especially during times when the heating system needs to run. To ensure the best efficiency for a commercial heating system, the facility needs to stay sealed from the outside, and this contributes to poor ventilation and lack of fresh air.

Poor indoor air quality creates multiple problems: health issues for occupants, lowered productivity for employees, damage to equipment (particularly electronics) and building materials, and even a drop in the value of the property.

What can you do to ensure the best IAQ for your commercial property while heating it? We’ll look at several actions you can take.
