Does Insulation Really Help Keep Your Home Cool?

Many homeowners living in warm climates spend more money than they would like on air conditioning. Poor indoor insulation causes energy to be wasted, which pushes these costs even higher. MightyServ provides affordable insulation to maintain a cool indoor temperature when the weather is hot. The secret to successful insulation is heat flow resistance. Measured by R-value (or thermal resistance), we install the most suitable insulation for your particular property. Save Energy by Sealing Duct Work Numerous homes have inadequate airflow and leaky ductwork. This will cause rooms to be uncomfortably humid, irrespective of your thermostat settings. Our engineers might suggest sealing the ductwork in your home with metal tape, spray on sealant, or mastic. This balances the duct system and facilitates maximum airflow to every room. In addition, performing ductwork insulation in crawlspaces, basements and attics can help keep your home cool and comfortable. Regulate the Temperature by Insulating Your Attic We offer both sprayed in and blown in attic insulation. There are many benefits to blown in attic insulation, such as the use of cellulose — which is an eco friendly material. This procedure keeps your property’s structure intact, and is non invasive. At the same time, it

Energy Saving Technologies for Your Business

MightyServ appreciates the fact that heating, ventilation and air conditioning accounts for over 50 percent of your energy bill. In a bid to help businesses to minimize their energy consumption and increase their energy savings, we can implement any of the following energy saving technologies: Thermal Energy Storage In commercial establishments, the electricity tariff is designed in such a way that the cost per unit during peak hours (normal working hours) is much higher than off-peak rates. We can help you implement a thermal energy storage technology that makes use of affordable electricity at night and stores the cooling energy for use during peak hours, when the unit cost of electricity is highest. This is done by freezing water at night. During normal working hours, the chilled water or ice is used to cool the business premise. The energy savings attributed to thermal energy storage can be quite significant, so every business owner needs to consider implementing the technology. Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD) Speed drives are sophisticated electronic devices designed to control the speed of motors based on user settings, programmed instructions or demand. When your HVAC needs are minimal, the ASD can reduce the speed of blower and fan

Myths About Commercial HVAC Companies

There are various misconceptions that some people hold about heating and cooling companies. Such include the assumption that a large commercial HVAC company would provide better services and is therefore better. Those who’ve had sour experiences with larger firms will know that this isn’t necessarily true. However, it may be difficult for one to understand why. There are also other things that need to be noted. The Bigger The Company; the Better The Service One may be tempted into thinking that big companies do everything right. This could be due to the idea advertised by such firms that they offer better service because they have more technicians. This means more hands on the clients’ equipment. Typically, expertise about HVAC systems doesn’t flow freely in larger firms. The best firms are those that offer the same service each time they handle a client’s equipment, regardless of their company size.

How Does Office Temperature Affect Your Productivity?

Air temperature in workplaces has a direct effect on productivity. Common sense tells us that if it’s too hot or two cold, productivity will definitely suffer, but even a shift of several degrees in office temperature can make a difference in productivity and overall workplace ergonomics. The majority of scientific research has shown that optimal office temperature between should be between 70 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit provides the best air temperature to obtain maximum worker productivity. What Is The Ideal Office Temperature? Unfortunately, different studies can produce widely different answers as shown by one conducted by Cornell University and another conducted by the British government. The Cornell study indicated that 77 degrees Fahrenheit was the optimal temperature, while the British study put it at 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Even with the variations in ideal temperature, all of the studies indicated that swings of just a few degrees can affect productivity by a minimum of 5%. Consider if your commercial HVAC system is set for an optimal temperature of 71.5 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature goes up to 77 degrees, productivity drops to 98%. By the time its 92 degrees, productivity is at 85%. When temperature decreases, the falloff isn’t as steep.
