Ensuring Efficient HVAC Operations in Your Commercial Facility During Summer Heat

Maintaining the efficiency of your commercial facility’s HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) unit during the summer is essential to ensure comfort, reduce energy consumption, and avoid costly breakdowns. Routine maintenance should be scheduled at least twice a year, ideally before the summer and winter seasons. This includes checking refrigerant levels, inspecting and cleaning coils, and ensuring all components are functioning correctly. Certified HVAC technicians can perform thorough inspections to identify potential issues early, such as [...]

Keeping Your Commercial Facility’s HVAC Unit Efficient During Summer Heat

With the heat of summer, maintaining the efficiency of your commercial facility's HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) unit becomes critical. The increased demand on the system to keep the indoor environment comfortable can lead to higher energy consumption, potential breakdowns, and increased maintenance costs if not managed properly. Here’s a comprehensive guide to ensure your HVAC system operates at peak efficiency during the summer months. 1. Regular Maintenance and Inspection Scheduled Servicing: Routine maintenance should [...]

Summer Heat Can Cause Huge Stress on Your HVAC Systems

During the summer, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems are subjected to increased stress due to the extreme heat. Here are some factors that contribute to this stress: Higher Cooling Demands As temperatures rise, people rely more on air conditioning to maintain comfortable indoor environments. This increased demand for cooling puts a significant load on HVAC systems, causing them to work harder and for more extended periods. Temperature Differential HVAC systems operate by removing heat [...]

Do You Need a Theft Monitor for Your Condensing Unit?

Theft of residential and commercial condensing units is on the rise. A hundred dollars’ worth of "scrap" copper could cost your organization thousands of dollars and a lot of inconvenience to replace your outdoor condensing units. The price of copper has more than doubled in the past few years and thieves are out to steal or gut condensing units wherever they can find them. Why are my Condenser Units a Target for Thieves? Valuable Components HVAC [...]

Are You Ready? Change is Around the Corner.

Effective January 1, 2023 VASEY works with a variety of industry-leading HVAC manufacturers. As 2022 draws closer to its end, we are receiving regular updates about the new 2023 Department of Energy’s (DOE) new minimum efficiency standards for commercial packaged HVAC requirements. Why is this Occurring? These changes are a part of DOE’s ongoing efforts to reduce the United States’ energy consumption. ALL HVAC manufacturers will be required to comply with the new testing procedures [...]

Get Ready! New DOE Efficiency Regulations

The Department of Energy (DOE) in response to the climate crisis has increased the minimum Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) standard from 80% to 90% for all new heating and cooling units to move America closer to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.1 For example, a high-efficiency gas furnace with an AFUE of 97 percent creates 97 BTUs of heat with every 100 BTUs of gas it uses. The rest is typically lost to the outdoors and [...]

Sycamore School Updates Air Filtration Before Students Return

INDIANAPOLIS — Sycamore School in Indianapolis is updating its air filtration system to keep students and staff safe. The private school on the north side reopened August 13 with in-person instruction only. The new air system cost the school about $40,000 and will "clean the air of SARS, which includes COVID, also cold and flu viruses, dust and mold," according to the Head of School Diane Borgmann. Complete air exchange is supposed to occur every 10 [...]

Which is Better – Bipolar Ionization or Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation?

By installing a Bipolar Ionization (BI) or Ultraviolet Light Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) system within your HVAC system, you can reduce or even eliminate airborne particles such as bacteria, virus cells, mold, allergens, odors, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). What is Bipolar Ionization (BI) Technology? Bipolar Ionization technology produces a natural bio-climate rich in positive and negative ions much like sunlight does in the atmosphere. The negative ions contain an extra electron while the positive ions are [...]
