Emergency Heat and Air Conditioning Repair Hints

david — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 22:03:22 +0000

It’s not going to be a fun evening when you need to hire the services of an emergency heat repair HVAC contractor. It will 10 below zero with snow falling and ice building – middle of the night – baby’s sick, etc. You know how it goes. What you need is a professional, available and honest HVAC contractor that specializes in emergency heat repair situations. You want somebody to be able to come to your home promptly, assess the situation, make the necessary repairs and be on their way.

The benefits associated with hiring the right emergency heat repair HVAC contractor:
Restoration of the heat in your home;
Protecting you and your family members from the elements;
Eliminating the potential for electrical fires;
Eliminating the need to burn smelly, dangerous accelerant-based heaters;
Developing a positive relationship with a skilled professional in the case of future needs arising;

What are the risks associated with hiring the wrong emergency heat repair HVAC contractor?

This is where you have to be careful. The very nature of an emergency situation implies that you are basically in a frenzy. You want your heat restored. At times like these, many people make the mistake of not being thorough during the hiring process. That is a mistake – and one that can be serious. Here’s what can happen:
You end up paying far too much for services rendered;
You end up paying for substandard services;
The contractor that shows up to your home takes advantage of the fact that you are in an emergency situation;
Low-quality work standards may cause the need for various other, more expensive repairs;

So how can I ensure that I’m hiring a quality emergency heat repair HVAC contractor?

It’s not really that difficult to do. You just need to slow down, take a few deep breaths and refer to the following tips:
Realize that when you are in an emergency situation, that is the best time to be logical and not panic;
Realize that while any emergency service technician is going to charge you hefty fees, that’s no reason for them to outright rob you;
Make sure that you have a clear understanding of what you are going to be charged and what services are going to be provided;
Get everything in writing before any work is performed;
Go with your instincts concerning the professionalism and character of the emergency heat repair HVAC contractor that you are considering hiring;
If you get bad vibrations from a given contractor, call another one. Don’t be in such a hurry to have your heat restored that you make a bad decision that you will regret.

Cooling Strategies for IT Wiring Closets and Server Rooms, Part 2

david — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 17:11:00 +0000

Let’s understand that our problem to solve is heat removal, rather than supplying cold air. If heat is not removed, the heat in that space that houses IT equipment will accumulate and raise the temperature. Remember that every kilowatt of heat used by your IT equipment creates a kilowatt of heat power that must be removed. And to remove it we need to allow for, or create a channel to move it to a colder place.

Heat can either flow through the walls or ceiling of the space. It can flow to cooler air via a grille or a vent that could have a fan to assist the movement of the airflow. Heat can also be removed by your building’s air cooling system or removed by a dedicated air conditioner.

Portable spot coolers from Spot Cooling Systems are an excellent, economical choice for cooling your IT wiring closet or server room. They are available in many different sizes to meet the demands of your equipment and space.

Portable Cooling Strategies for IT Wiring Closets and Server Rooms, Part 1

david — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 19:13:26 +0000

First we must specify the appropriate temperature at which we must maintain for the proper operation of your equipment. IT equipment manufacturers usually provide a maximum temperature in which their devices are designed to operate and to guarantee performance and reliability. This temperature is usually 104 degrees (40C).

This is the maximum. Operating at that temperature generally will not provide the same level of performance and longevity as operating at lower temperatures. Because of this, IT equipment manufacturers publish a recommended operating temperature for their equipment. Recommended operating temperatures are between 70F (21C) and 75F (24C) with the goal of no higher than 77F (25C).

The ExtraCooler portable air conditioner is available in various sizes and electrical voltages to meet every wiring closet and server room needs. Spot Coolers are perfect for maintaining the recommended operating temperatures in your IT Closet or Server Room. They are mobile, easy to operate and built to last. For everyday, weekend, emergency or contingency planning, give us a call and your cooling needs will be taken care of by the experts at Spot Cooling Systems.

Emergency Restaurant Cooling

david — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:36:40 +0000

It was a terrible feeling when the manager of a long-time North Dallas café arrived at work Saturday morning to discover all of their roof top A/C units had been stolen overnight. “Those can be replaced,” he told me on the phone, “but my customers comfort cannot. How can Spot Cooling Systems help me?”

On his computer he searched for “Emergency Portable Air Conditioners Dallas” and Google directed him to us. This was at 8:45am. Our phone conversation ended by 9:00am and within an hour we were on site with three of our 1.5 ton Spot Coolers.

15 minutes to install one in the kitchen, server’s area and the dining area. Cool air was flowing right away.

By noon on Saturday we had visited the other tenants of the shopping center and took care of their needs as well.

It took almost three weeks for the landlord to have the a/c units replaced and our customers were so thankful for our quick service, fair pricing, meeting their needs and taking care of them.

I left there that morning with the satisfaction of taking care of our customers, but best of all, I left with the tastiest Mile-High Peanut Butter Chocolate Cream Pie I’ve ever had!

How Much Condensate Will a 5 Gallon Tank Hold

extracooler — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:34:54 +0000

There isn’t an average output since the condensation is determined by many different factors such as the relative humidity and temperature. Our SCT Series Portable Spot Cooling Systems come with an internal 5 gallon condensate tank that turns the machine off once it is full.

On a cloudy day with 92% humidity outside, the internal 5 gallon tank would fill within 24 hours. That is, if the unit was set up in the parking lot. Most commercial building air systems dry the air to an average 20% relative humidity. This allows the SCT Series 5 gallon tank to fill in 3 to 5 days. Keep in mind most buildings turn the central air off at night and weekends. Dryer the air, longer it takes to fill up. Our units in Phoenix, AZ rarely condensate

We verified this with a customer who is located by the Bush Airport in Houston, Texas. He gets three days between the time to empty tank over the past month.
