HVAC—Environmental Comfort for Your Commercial Business

The acronym HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning. We couldn’t build substantial modern buildings without it. The fundamental idea of HVAC is to provide comfort to the occupants and with it a conditioning of the indoor air quality.

HVAC isn’t just heating and skokie air conditioner repair, though it certainly provides those. The entire system provides a means to control the temperature, replenish oxygen,and remove moisture, odors, and several other items that are deleterious to health, such as smoke, excess heat, dust, airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide. Ventilation systems move air removing moisture and odor. They introduce outside air, feed it to conditioning systems, and move it about the building preventing stagnation.

Establishing commercial HVAC isn’t merely the installation of a unit and attaching it to a building. That might work for small buildings. Larger buildings have engineered HVAC systems. Contractors must determine the capacity of a building and then engineers must analyze that data and come up with a design to determine a specific HVAC system.

Every HVAC is different. It’s tailored to the building where it is to be installed. The fabrication of the system must then be done and installed according to local codes. This means building permits and code inspections for compliance.

Brilliant Electric Heating and Cooling provides services for commercial HVAC systems from advice on design, through installation, to the regular servicing that will be necessary to keep the system operable.

Ventilation distributes that heat or air. Furnaces often do not provide complete combustion, resulting in the emission of several gases, notably carbon monoxide, which is tasteless and odorless and a detriment to yourhealth.

The potential existence of carbon monoxide requires adequate ventilation to the outdoors. Carbon monoxide can cause headaches, nausea, fatigue, and vomiting. It reduces the blood’s ability to distribute oxygen to the body, potentially causing heart attacks. Ventilation, includes the exchange of air between inside and outside of the building as a means to maintain air quality within the building.

Once installed, HVAC systems will require routine maintenance, and for this Brilliant Electric Heating and Cooling is, for thelackofabetterword, brilliant. They maintain all types of HVAC systems, including mechanical or “forced” movement provided by air handlers. Excess humidity, odors, and contaminants are filtered, diluted, or replaced by outside air. In the humid climate that is Chicagoland, the HVAC system will also be able to remove excess moisture from the building thereby improving air comfort.

The HVAC system cools by removing heat from the building through radiation, convection, or conduction. To do so may require water, air, ice, and chemicals as refrigerants. Those refrigerants are compressed in heat pumps.

There are other ways to move air, of course. Kitchens and bathrooms may have exhaust fans that will move the air to the outside, replenishing it with air from inside the building. In this case, Brilliant can help to select a mechanical exhaust system with the appropriate flow rate and noise level.

Then there is the reversible ceiling fan. The idea is to reduce the perceived temperature by adjusting the moisture of the skin. Because heat rises, hot air can be circulated upward toward the cooler ceiling in the summertime and returned to the room in the wintertime.

Of course, a building may be naturally ventilated simply by opening doors and windows, exchanging outdoor air for indoor air without the use of fans or distributing ductwork. Factories are often cooled by opening the higher windows and allowing the hotter air to escape at the top. These will require some fan mechanisms for air movement, and can be a part of the commercial HVAC mechanism. They do little for thermal comfort however.

A Stand-By Back-up Generator is a Brilliant Idea

Commonwealth Edison is a fine company. They provide power to hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses within the Chicagoland community. In July of 2011, nearly 870,000 Chicagoans sweated for several days through rolling blackouts that came after stormy weather conditions.

Despite the problems, if the weather were as reliable as CommEd, we'd never have to buy a standby generator. Power outages are always going to be an issue so for that CommEd has an online outage map. If you're in the affected area you can check where the outage is, see how many people are affected, and how long it will take to get service up and running.

The temperature in Chicago varies to the extremes. In the wintertime it might hit -40˚. Ice, snow, and downed trees can take down power lines, killing service. In the summertime, temperatures of 80˚, 90˚, and above put a strain on the power system. Power often becomes interrupted when excavations are done.

If you were to lose power in the winter your pipes could freeze. At least in the summertime you can go to the mall or take in a movie until the repairs are done.

 

A standby generator keeps the power going when the utility's services are interrupted. In the cold of winter, you need to keep the furnace working. In July when power demands are the largest, you'll want to keep the air conditioning working. Moreover, there's the refrigerator, freezer, and some lights. If you are on a well or use a sump pump, it's important to keep those powered up as well. How much power you will use will depend on the size and configuration you have installed.

  Standby power systems are available in many sizes and with many capabilities. You can get a portable generator at the local hardware store, but it may provide insufficient capacity. Standby systems run on gasoline, with engines like your lawnmower, or with residential models that operate on natural gas or propane. Gasoline generators must be moved outside the house because of carbon monoxide gas. Another difficulty with a portable generator is that you are faced with refueling it frequently, to say nothing of the noise it produces.

A natural gas or propane-fed standby generator is a permanent installation that "kicks in" seconds following a utility interruption. Because it is positioned outside the building, it becomes a permanent part of the building raising the building's value. A unit that runs on natural gas or propane has unlimited run time.

 

There are other considerations also. A gasoline portable generator for example has a pull start, like many portable engines. Batteries are available at an additional cost. Smaller units have wheels, while larger units are on skids and wheels may cost extra.

The load on any generator will vary with the units attached when the power "kicks in". The idea is to support the 120-volt circuits. If you wish to use a 220-volt range, you will need larger units. There can be variations among swap-over times, surge-wattage for individual units, and the need for additional power for cycling appliances, such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and pumps. Connect too many devices to a low-capability unit and you will experience "brownout" or reduced voltage to any individual lamp or device. There have been experiences where brownout conditions have damaged the electronics of an electric furnace.

Generators a sold by wattage capabilities. These determine what the system will support and how well. An average refrigerator pulls about 600 watts. A window air conditioner will draw about 1,000, and you know the wattage of the lightbulbs you have installed. Take into account any central air conditioner, electric dryer, electric oven, and certainly all the electronics you wish to operate. Brilliant Electric can calculate what wattage rating you need to support your necessary systems with the use of a standby generator.

The generator system also requires a transfer switch--the means to isolate the generator from the utility.
Brilliant Electric Heating and Air Conditioning has a full line of residential backup generators. They handle Briggs & Stratton and General Electric natural gas or propane units but they can also install, repair, or maintain any brand, make and model of standby generator installation you may have or desire.

Sparky Does Electrical Repair For Brilliant

In 1827 a German physicist, Georg Ohm described the measurement of voltage and current through electrical circuits. How that works is not relevant to the subject at hand, but Ohm's Law is fundamental to the business of electricity, which is conducted by wires with known resistances and just one of the many things electricians from Brilliant Electric Heating and Cooling must know.

While there are many facets to and tasks performed by an electrician, the basic job description includes these tasks: install, maintain, and repair electrical wiring, equipment, and fixtures. Electricians must be trained and licensed and must work with the relevant codes of the state and municipal locations.

Included in the tasks for an electrician are these:

•     Assemble, test, and maintain electronic or electrical systems including fixtures.

•     Use test equipment and hand tools to diagnose problems and locate causes of breakdowns. 

• Included in the equipment will be the use of ohmmeters, voltmeters, oscilloscopes, and line testing equipment.

•     Connect the building's wiring to circuit breakers and transformers.

•     Identify electrical hazards and defects, and correct or repair them in compliance with applicable codes.

•     Identify and communicate if equipment use should be discontinued.

•     Maintain licenses and certifications as applicable to the work entailed.

•     Locate from sketches or construction plan where the wiring is to be run and equipment is to be installed, in conformance with local codes.

•           Install ground leads and connect power cables to equipment.

•         Repair or replace damaged wiring, equipment, and fixtures, using hand and power tools. Work from       ladders, scaffolds, and roofs as required by that particular job.

•     Install plastic or metal boxes for outlets and switches.

•     Place pipes or tubing to conduct wires through partitions or walls and pull the wires to complete the circuits.

There are more tasks, but you get the idea skokie furnace repair. The real issue is that when the lights go out you need somebody to get the power working. Service to the building is a function of Commonwealth Edison so we cannot help you there, but once the power is back on and your breakers or appliances have been damaged, we at Brilliant Electric Heating and Cooling can provide many services. Brilliant is a full-service residential commercial electrical repair company. They can handle both exterior and interior lighting, appliances, data and telephone cabling, stand-by backup generators, and skokie air conditioner .
