24/7 availability of hot water at the right temperature is a hot button issue for facility managers in the hospitality, education and healthcare industries. To avoid both scalding and bacteria growth, water must be stored at a high temperature, then mixed with just the right amount of cold water before being delivered to the end user. The valves that provide this mixing are the key to reliable and safe, domestic hot water. Valve Types There are two types of mixing valves that can properly temper domestic hot water: motorized and thermostatic. Motorized valves use electronic sensors and controls which helps to restore ideal water temperature under peak loads. Thermostatic valves use an internal thermostatic element to control temperature without the need for external power. They both produce a reliable safe supply of domestic hot water. They differ in how they are controlled, and in what features are available to communicate with them remotely. Motorized Valves Motori...

While “green solutions” are often looked at as renewable energy or recycled materials, in the building heating controls industry, this includes solutions that save the customer in overall energy consumption. Less energy used typically means less energy produced which means lower carbon footprint, less pollution from dirty energy sources, etc… And incidentally, the other meaning of “Green” applies too. Heat-Timer Controls save building operators money, usually big money on yearly heating costs. The need to maintain heating system efficiency is key creating a green solution. Heat Timer® control systems can offer just that, putting the customer’s mind at ease knowing they’re participating in a green movement, decreasing energy consumption, and extending the life of their boiler and associated subsystems by lowering maintenance and replacement costs. Why is my Heating System Not Already “Green”? After a building has been designed and commissioned, there are a numbe...

At stake are tens of thousands of dollars of monthly energy costs that would otherwise go directly to your bottom line. Certified Heat-Timer® HVAC Contractors are not only heating system experts, but are partnered with the world’s leading solutions for modern heating controls. The combination creates an automated, optimized solution that leaves no money on the table. Key Elements of Cost Optimization in Commercial Boiler Systems Whether your building and its heating system is old or new, sending BTU’s up the stack is like burning hundred dollar bills at a campfire. Yet there are many ways this can happen in your boiler configuration and the analysis as to root cause, requires deep knowledge and experience with the many variations of boiler systems out there. Here’s just a few ways that a he...
