Commercial
Offices, clinics, shops, workshops and light industrial across the Concho Valley — on planned schedules, with a written record against each unit.
By the calendar
A commercial year here
- February and March
The cooling visit, before anybody needs it. Coils, filters, belts, drains, economiser travel and control settings — plus the annual look at the site as a whole.
- April and May
Anything the survey found. This is the window for change-outs, duct work and crane time, because the building can tolerate a day without cooling.
- June to September
Reactive. We keep the schedule light on purpose so that the buildings we hold records for get seen the same day.
- October
The heating visit, and every unit heater started. This is the single most useful thing we do for a warehouse all year.
- November to January
Freeze protection, planning and budgeting. Quiet enough to do the paperwork that makes next summer easier.
Scope
What is on a commercial schedule
The things people forget
- Economiser dampers, which fail silently and cost money either way
- Building pressure, and the doors that whistle because of it
- Condensate routes above ceilings
- Control schedules left by a previous tenant
- Access — the ladder, the hatch and the gate code
West elevations
The complaint always comes from the same side of the building
In an office here, the west-facing rooms lose the afternoon and everybody else is fine. The temptation is to add capacity; the cheaper answers are shade, balancing and making sure those rooms have a return path.
We will put figures to it before anybody quotes equipment, and if the honest answer is that the building needs more capacity on that side, we will say that too — with a calculation behind it.
