Why Your Building's Energy Costs Are So High- And What To Do About IT

-





As a building operations manager, one of your priorities is keeping running costs down without sacrificing the quality of your operations. If you’re noticing an unexpected spike in your building’s energy costs, this might be why:

  • Lack of preventative maintenance: When was the last time your commercial HVAC system or boiler was serviced? Buildings might be able to get away with missing a few services, but when the maintenance catches up it can be severe. These systems are very complex and can start taking serious strain without regular maintenance, causing increased running costs, reduced efficiency and poor output.
  • Your thermostat settings aren’t optimal: If your thermostat isn’t programmable or is set just a few degrees higher than it needs to be, you can expect a big increase in your energy bill. It’s a good idea to check these settings and consider getting a programmable thermostat for your heating systems and HVAC, as these give you far greater control over heating and cooling systems, including full customization for different seasons, times of the day, and zones.
  • Lack of building improvement: The design and condition of your building can make it more difficult to heat and cool the space. Deterioration or lack of sealing means systems have to work harder to resupply air as it leaks out of the building. Large windows can let in significant amounts of heat in summer and loose warmth in winter. If your building has recently been extended or remodeled, your heating and cooling systems may not be correctly sized for your new space and are likely working overtime to try and keep up, causing energy usage to go up and increased wear-and-tear on the system.

Professional Boiler Services Keep Your Business Running Smoothly

A proper heating system is essential for every commercial building, including factories and industrial sites, and having the correct  boiler system installed  and maintained by specialists is key to operational efficiency and minimal downtime. But all commercial Boiler service companies are not created equal. Levels of expertise, experience, access to specialized equipment, responsiveness, and integrity when considering repair or replace, are also critical. What to look for in your commercial boiler contractors  Commercial and industrial experience:  If you need an existing system maintained, repaired or upgraded, or a new system built from the ground up, residential boiler specialists simply won’t be able to help you – you need a partner who understands the demands of commercial heating systems. This is because scale isn’t the only factor at play – commercial systems have to work harder, have a role beyond just heating in many businesses, and often require advanced facilit

A good commercial HVAC contractor is more than a company that you call when things start going wrong in your building – they’re a partner who works with you to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for employees, clients and tenants. Here are some tips on finding a HVAC contractor that can be relied on for professional, expert service and advice. Essential paperwork:  One of the very first steps in this process is ensuring that the company has the correct permits and licensing from the state or municipality, and that they are in possession of a contract license surety bond. This ensures that the contractor is qualified and protects you against unfair dealings or if something goes wrong. It’s also important that your contractor has worker’s compensation insurance in case a worker is injured while working on your property. Don’t accept a quote over the phone:  Every building and HVAC system is unique, and there is simply no way to get an accurate grasp on what needs to be do

Looking for a  commercial HVAC contractor  to maintain, repair, design or install a new HVAC system for your building? Here’s some advice to help you find the right team for the job. Don’t Make These Mistakes When Hiring a Commercial Contractor  You don’t know what you need:  Of course, your HVAC contractor should be able to do a full assessment of your system and advise you on repairs or upgrades, but it’s important that you have an informed idea of the services you are seeking. Are you making energy-efficiency a priority? Is your system making strange noises and emitting unpleasant smells? What is your budget? You don’t get multiple quotes:  Unless you have industry experience, it’s very difficult to tell when a quote is reasonable or not, which makes getting multiple quotes essential. Call in at least three contractors and have them assess the situation and see what they offer before you accept an estimate. You don’t ask for references:  The best way to find out if your
