  Why Hybrid HVAC Systems Are the Smarter Solution

  Hybrid HVAC Systems – Learning from the Auto Industry’s EV Shift This blog was written by The Marketing Team & The Engineering Team The push toward electric vehicles (EVs) sounded revolutionary, but the auto industry’s experience reveals hard truths: massive upfront costs, performance challenges, and an infrastructure not yet ready to support full electrification. Similarly, the HVAC industry is seeing regulatory pressure to adopt all-electric solutions, even though those systems often fall short when performance and reliability matter most—especially in extreme weather or high-demand scenarios. We believe a hybrid HVAC approach offers a smarter way forward, just as hybrid cars combine the benefits of both gas and electric engines. Keeping natural gas as part of the HVAC equation ensures the system can meet both current needs and future demands—without the risks of relying solely on electric power. Key Lessons from the Automotive Shift The journey toward electric vehicles has provided some critical insights HVAC professionals should heed: High Upfront Costs: EVs require significant investment, much like all-electric HVAC systems often demand costly upgrades without matching the efficiency of established alternatives. Performance Gaps: While EVs excel in ...

  Mechanical Contractors and Energy-Efficient HVAC

  What Mechanical Contractors Need to Know about Energy Efficiency and HVAC Building owners rely on your expertise. But it takes trust to make this possible. And to create it, you want to ensure they’re receiving the HVAC solution that makes the most sense for their facility and budget. You already know that top-line price isn’t the most important factor in determining the cost of equipment. And it’s impossible to have conversations about lifecycle cost without talking about energy efficiency. Your customers are going to be invested in reducing their monthly energy bill. Reducing that translates to more business. Heating: Direct-fired High Temperature Heating and Ventilation (HTHV) tech, unit heaters and heat pumps You want to heat big spaces and your customer doesn’t want to pay big bills. How do you do it? For large commercial spaces, direct-fired technology offers a clear pathway to energy efficiency. Without heat loss via a flue, direct-fired heaters achieve 92% thermal efficiency, meaning that 92% of all therms provided to the unit are provided to the building as heat. Indirect-fired heaters make more sense for smaller, enclosed spaces (like your home), due to the lower risk ...

  Creating a Healthy Oasis: Let’s Tackle Sick Building Syndrome Head-On

  Are you a building owner or facility manager who's concerned about Sick Building Syndrome (SBS)? If you're noticing symptoms like headaches, fatigue, or dizziness among your employees or tenants, it's important to take action to improve the indoor air quality in your building. SBS is a term used to describe a range of symptoms that can occur in buildings where the indoor environment is perceived as unhealthy or uncomfortable. The causes of SBS can vary and often involve a combination of factors. Poor indoor air quality, inadequate ventilation, high humidity, and temperature fluctuations can all contribute to SBS. In addition, the presence of chemical and biological contaminants within the building can also cause SBS. As a building owner, you have a responsibility to provide a healthy and comfortable indoor environment for your tenants or employees. Fortunately, there are solutions available that can help you combat SBS and improve indoor air quality in your facility, such as our M-Series make-up air and S-Series high-efficiency heating technologies. By collaborating with us, you can effectively combat SBS and promote a healthier indoor environment for those that ...
