Lower your monthly utility bill

The one thing people hate to see this time of year is the monthly utility bill. When the temperature rises so does our air conditioning usage.  Here are a couple of suggestions to help keep costs down this summer: Replace that old air conditioner. We know the cost of replacing an air conditioning unit may seem too costly, but in the long run the energy and cost savings will make a big difference. If you don’t already have one, get a programmable thermostat. With a programmable thermostat you can manage your entire building whether you are there or not.

Do you need an HVAC Contractor?

A few easy ways to choose an HVAC Contractor for your next project are:

1). Referrals. It is always a good idea to ask business connections or friends if they know someone. Also, if you find a someone you think might be the right contractor for you next job, it is ok to ask for referrals from them and check around.

2). Search online. It seems that this is the solution for most of the services we look for. Just make sure you check references and ask for a written estimate.

3). Call AME!  Our team has the skill and expertise you need in an HVAC Contractor. We are happy to answer any questions you have and are there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Quick tips for your homes HVAC this summer

In order to keep your system running efficiently and not costing you a fortune, there are a few things you can do. Changing your filters monthly is easy and can have a big effect on your HVAC system, removing debris around the exterior system, clearing the drainage hole around your air conditioning system and adding a smart thermostat which will regulate the temperature as well as alert you to more cost effective and energy saving suggestions are all tasks that can be done easily. As always, routine maintenance is key.

Newark Beth Israel Hospital

We are currently working on a project for Newark Beth Israel Hospital The project will include an upgrade for the Building Management System to a Niagara N4 Platform Building Management System web-based user graphics for the Chiller/Condenser and boiler plant, operating and isolation rooms. With this new upgraded system, we were able to give Beth Israel Hospital the ability to avoid blackout periods by maintaining the integrity and continuity of system operations.  A real time BMS dashboard with analytical displays will also be added to complete this project.
