Preparing for Winter

It seems like Fall just started, but it is already time for winter. Many have already experienced the first bit of snow and already have the heat on. It is important to make sure that your heating system has been cleaned, greased, oiled, new filters install, and an overall maintenance performed. It is one thing to lose your A/c during the summer, but you do not want to lose your heat during the winter. It will lead to unhappy employees and lost working time. During our maintenance checks we evaluate the whole system.

Here is a list of items:
Heat Pumps
Change Air Filters
Grease and lube motors and bearings
Inspect evaporator coil
Inspect evaporator blower motor
Inspect and tighten all electrical connections
Check water temp differential
Check reversing valve operation
Clean condensate drain and trap
Check operating controls
Check safeties
Check water regulating valve for leakage
All access panels are back in place
All power is restored

Rooftop Units
Change Air Filters
Inspect motors and bearings (lube as required)
Inspect belts (adjust as required)
Inspect pulley
Inspect heating/cooling coils
Check electrical connections for tightness
Inspect relays and contactors
Check operation of temperature controls.
Cycle safety controls
Cycle fan control
Inspect heat exchanger for cracks
Inspect and clean burners
Test ignition system and burner operation
Check gas pressures

Just in case you experience an emergency outage of your heat, we offer a portable boiler for rent. We can get it to you immediately, saving on lost income and productivity. Call us at 800-841-9101 for rental information.

Heating Emergency at American Steakhouse

 When American Steakhouse in Norwalk had a rooftop unit heater malfunction. They had a dining room full of customers that was getting colder by the minute. They called Controlled Air for help. Our technicians found the unit non-repairable. We located a stock unit and had the heat back in a timely manner so they did not lose any of their customers. They called for help and we responded. Another satisfied customer that knows when there is a problem with their HVAC system, “Who you gonna call ? Controlled Air, Inc.!” Submitted by Frank Lazowski

The program is a national tv and website run, organized, and hosted by teens around the country about green technology, sustainability, and eco-wise information.
