8 Ways to Prepare your facility for Spring

The warm spring and perfect weather may have you daydreaming about golfing, biking, and enjoying the sunshine.
But, this is no time to neglect the needs of your facility. Avoid costly and timely equipment repairs and save money through these eight tips.

1. Inspect your facility's cooling equipment to ensure it's ready for a long (and possibly harsh) summer.
2. A clean condenser coil will maximize your equipment's efficiency during the cooling season.
3. Change your equipment's air filters. Clean air filters improve performance year-round.
4. Adjust outdoor lighting to meet the longer periods of daylight. Don't have automatic timers? We can help you with that!
5. Check window and door weather stripping to avoid cooling the outdoors. This will also help to keep the humidity outside from seeping indoors.
6. Now is also a great time to make certain your ice machines are clean and ready for the increased demand.
7. Have your boilers cleaned and checked for leaks to ensure they are operating at peak efficiency.
8. Consider upgrading your equipment to more efficient models. Air conditioners today use 30%-50% less energy than units made in the 1970's. Even if your equipment is only 10 years old, you may still save 20% on your cooling costs by upgrading to newer models.

Make certain your equipment is ready for the warm weather ahead. With some careful preparation, you will be able to enjoy more of the sunshine and spend less time worrying about equipment failure. Call Stroh Corporation for any of your mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or energy saving needs.
