Heat-Timer HVAC Contractors will save you Money on Energy




The complexity of modern distributed heating systems for apartment complexes, schools, hotels, and campus’ require careful planning and implementation by commercial HVAC experts. 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 heating system can be inefficient:
  1. Your boiler’s fire rate could be stuck at a constant 100%, expending all of its energy on heating a space that doesn’t need heat. Often due to boiler lockout controls or insufficient hydronic loop volume.
  2. Building space thermostats could be in the wrong place out of calibration, or room designations have changed since the design, giving your boiler false or faulty readings.
  3. Boiler are constantly operating from completely off to on, leading to thermal shock.
  4. Boiler return temperature could be too high, reducing the overall efficiency of hydronic condensing boilers.
Common to solving all these problems is some version of a heat timer Platinum Series control which uses advanced, self-learning algorithm’s to understand peak periods and hot spots in your building. Building installation is facilitated by connection to a network of wireless sensors and mobile alerts that make our controls operate more like a full-blown energy management system, at a fraction of the cost of one.

Using the BuildingNet interface, gives users remote access from an app on mobile phones, tablets, and an internet interface for desktop control. Our remote interface provides alarms and diagnostics to the user and allows for full customization of boiler operations. Furthermore, Our Platinum Series Control is compatible with nearly any building management system (BMS) you may want to install in the future, providing the heating control subsystem.

No matter how intricate, simplistic or out-of-date your system is, a Heat-Timer contractor’s main focus is to provide safe building energy solutions while providing the customer with tangible savings, easy to use heating controls, and a seamless interface with nearly any building management system out on the market.

We carefully vet and select only the highest of quality contractors through our online contractor partner program. Where we provide training and energy solution support for approved partners only, giving our customers the ability to choose contractors who serve at the need of the customer.

To find a Heat-Timer® contractor near you, use our national contractor finder, or call our team today.

How Heat-Timer® Controls Can Make Your Building Management System Better

A  Building Management System  (BMS), also called Building Automation System (BAS) is a system that allows building managers to monitor and control a building’s major mechanical and safety systems in one central, easy-to-use application. A BMS can be thought of as a distributed network of building systems supervised and controlled in one central platform. The network of field controllers and other system controllers are distributed throughout the building and communicate to the BMS through a local area network. Field controllers can be general purpose, supplied by the BMS integrator and used for simple applications like lighting control, ventilation fans and building access. With a BMS, these applications can also be separated by zone, floor or other combinations to yield optimal HVAC performance. Field controllers for mission critical systems like fire alarms and heating are specialized and can act independently, as well as under BMS control. The Heat-Timer® Platinum se...

Water Safety For all Time

Image
Because of regulations put in place after the outbreak of legionnaire’s disease in the 90’s, installation of Domestic Hot Water (DHW) systems were changed for the sake of public safety.  All DHW systems, whether storage based or tankless, must now meet the conflicting requirements of holding DHW at a minimum of 140°F (60°C) to comply with such standards as OSHA Technical Manual Section 3 Chapter 7, to combat Legionella growth, while delivering hot water at a temperature that prevents scalding injuries in sinks and other fixtures. For decades, commercial plumbing installers have embraced a 3 way mixing valve or “tempering valve” as the perfect solution to the dilemma. Early tempering valves were controlled manually with fixed setpoints, but in 2020 we have evolved to using motorized valves under the direction of a standalone electronic control station that adds flexibility, reduces energy use, provides alerts and alarms, and generally improves the safety of any domestic ...

Heat-Timer’s Wireless Sensor Integration Just got a Big Upgrade

Image
  One of the most appealing parts of the Heat-Timer® Platinum Series is the wireless sensor connectivity that comes with our Building Net internet upgrade. There are thousands of clients who own an original, non-internet capable Platinum Series control and when they upgrade the control with our Building Net internet package they actually get two major elements: An Internet/Mobile ready control – The Building Net upgrade gives any platinum control the ability to be controlled via the internet through a simple browser connection to a web management portal, or via our free mobile app. In either case, reports, alarms, control settings, and real-time monitoring are all at your fingertips, wherever those fingertips may be. Wireless Sensor Integration – You can think of this as the second network access that is enabled by the Building Net upgrade. This internal Long Range network allows you to connect our wireless space sensors to the control, which by reporting temperatures in vari...
