\"\"This is a question that many will face during this start-up season of the HVAC equipment that cools your homes, your office and perhaps even the data center that supports your mission.\u00a0 HVAC equipment, on average is engineered, depending on the specific manufacturer and the system type, to run for 15 – 20 years.\u00a0 Yes, many factors add or subtract to the life span … maintenance, hours of operation during the course of a summer, operating environment, etc.\u00a0 As an example a church HVAC that operates on Wednesday evening & then heavy use on Sunday would certainly outlast an application of a 24×7 hour call center.<\/p>\n

Then it happens, the technician responds to your crisis and you find out from him that you have a faulty XYZ … What to do?\u00a0 The EPA is mandating that the current refrigerant that is most likely utilized in your system, Refrigerant 22, a common brand is Freon, made by DuPont, some are saying “No, replace the entire system”, others will say, “We can just replace the R-22 and repair the faulty component” and yet another person will tell you to “Replace the refrigerant with Refrigerant 434a”.\u00a0 Wow, that is a lot of info to process and by the way, you are hot or the technician wouldn’t be there.<\/p>\n

As in many situations, making a snap decision is not ideal.\u00a0 Having some time to ponder, review proposals, etc. is always a nice luxury.\u00a0 Problem is, emergencies are just that, they pop up with no warning.\u00a0 AirTight FaciliTech, as any reputable resource should be, will work with you in advance to plan for the day of reckoning.\u00a0 How old is your system, do you own it or just maintain it (Think Triple Net Lease) how long will you inhabit the building, plant, facility or house … Many, many variables.<\/p>\n

This decision always comes back to logic.\u00a0 Analyze the options, decide on your timing, plan and budget for the expense, work with a quality, licensed and insured contractor and develop that all important roadmap.\u00a0 When you are kicked back in comfort, your internal voice can the tell you, “Nice Job!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
