Regardless of the type of occupant, commercial or industrial facility owners and managers in Silicon Valley can spend a great deal of their maintenance budgets on the HVAC and refrigeration systems in any given year. With the competing demands on scarce resources, business leaders look for the most economical option in deciding what type of action to take when trouble arises. They also may consider the option with the least environmental impact. Companies that specialize in mechanical retrofitting can provide these highly complicated services.
New Installation
Whether installing a new HVAC system or refrigeration system or specific components such as a chiller or cooling tower, property managers and owners rely on mechanical retrofitters to professionally install the components. In some cases of mechanical breakdown, there are few options other than installation of a new HVAC system. In these situations, much of the duct work and power source lines can remain in place. Other parts of the system will be retrofit into the existing building and mechanical system.
Replacement
In other instances, the retrofitter may find that it is only necessary to replace a specific part of the system. Identifying the area of the system that is not functioning properly, replacing a worn or broken part may be a small expense while keeping the majority of existing system. This may extend the life of the mechanical system and lessen the impact that the production of a new system would have on the company’s carbon footprint.
Repairs
Mechanical retrofitters might also repair the HVAC and refrigeration systems in the facility. Often, when there is trouble with an existing system, the system components can be repaired instead of replacing or buying a new system. The retrofitters’ knowledge of the components allow for a qualified diagnosis of the problem and recommendation for repair. Of the options, repairing the system is the most environmentally friendly.
Whether the decision is to install new equipment, replace components or repair the existing system, using a qualified mechanical retrofitting specialist will provide the assurance that work done on the mechanical system is in keeping with industry standards. Using quality parts and systems with increased efficiencies help keep operational costs lower. They can also have the added benefit of keeping the environmental impacts lower.
