HIRING-UP THE HEATERS


Carl Webb, HVAC Sales Director at Andrews Sykes, outlines the importance of ensuring you’re always one step ahead as far as your client’s climate control systems are concerned.


As facilities managers, you cannot afford to leave a customer’s HVAC requirements to chance when the stakes are so high. Failing to plan can have devastating consequences for your reputation as well as the operationality of the businesses for which you are responsible. Reacting to a problem with no preordained recovery strategy immediately puts you on the back foot, and this is certainly true as far as HVAC solutions are concerned.


“The issue of climate control – or lack thereof – has the potential to seriously damage morale and productivity if not properly addressed.”

It’s not uncommon for HVAC systems to be overlooked and forgotten about until something goes wrong. When things are working as they should be, the chances are your clients won’t even notice the heating or boiler system. But when these vital amenities break down, there is no hiding place. So, what should you do when this situation arises?


In an ideal world, you will already be in contact with a reliable HVAC supplier capable of fulfilling your obligations. The issue of climate control – or lack thereof – has the potential to seriously damage morale and productivity if not properly addressed. By hiring equipment on a temporary basis, temperature-related frustrations are quickly placated without the hassle of capital investment, relocation, set-up, storage, maintenance and other ownership costs.
