How Does Office Temperature Affect Your Productivity?

Air temperature in workplaces has a direct effect on productivity. Common sense tells us that if it’s too hot or two cold, productivity will definitely suffer, but even a shift of several degrees in office temperature can make a difference in productivity and overall workplace ergonomics. The majority of scientific research has shown that optimal office temperature between should be between 70 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit provides the best air temperature to obtain maximum worker productivity. What Is The Ideal Office Temperature? Unfortunately, different studies can produce widely different answers as shown by one conducted by Cornell University and another conducted by the British government. The Cornell study indicated that 77 degrees Fahrenheit was the optimal temperature, while the British study put it at 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Even with the variations in ideal temperature, all of the studies indicated that swings of just a few degrees can affect productivity by a minimum of 5%. Consider if your commercial HVAC system is set for an optimal temperature of 71.5 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature goes up to 77 degrees, productivity drops to 98%. By the time its 92 degrees, productivity is at 85%. When temperature decreases, the falloff isn’t as steep.

Does Insulation Really Help Keep Your Home Cool?

Many homeowners living in warm climates spend more money than they would like on air conditioning. Poor indoor insulation causes energy to be wasted, which pushes these costs even higher. MightyServ provides affordable insulation to maintain a cool indoor temperature when the weather is hot. The secret to successful insulation is heat flow resistance. Measured by R-value (or thermal resistance), we install the most suitable insulation for your particular property. Save Energy by Sealing Duct Work Numerous homes have inadequate airflow and leaky ductwork. This will cause rooms to be uncomfortably humid, irrespective of your thermostat settings. Our engineers might suggest sealing the ductwork in your home with metal tape, spray on sealant, or mastic. This balances the duct system and facilitates maximum airflow to every room. In addition, performing ductwork insulation in crawlspaces, basements and attics can help keep your home cool and comfortable. Regulate the Temperature by Insulating Your Attic We offer both sprayed in and blown in attic insulation. There are many benefits to blown in attic insulation, such as the use of cellulose — which is an eco friendly material. This procedure keeps your property’s structure intact, and is non invasive. At the same time, it

Energy Saving Technologies for Your Business

MightyServ appreciates the fact that heating, ventilation and air conditioning accounts for over 50 percent of your energy bill. In a bid to help businesses to minimize their energy consumption and increase their energy savings, we can implement any of the following energy saving technologies: Thermal Energy Storage In commercial establishments, the electricity tariff is designed in such a way that the cost per unit during peak hours (normal working hours) is much higher than off-peak rates. We can help you implement a thermal energy storage technology that makes use of affordable electricity at night and stores the cooling energy for use during peak hours, when the unit cost of electricity is highest. This is done by freezing water at night. During normal working hours, the chilled water or ice is used to cool the business premise. The energy savings attributed to thermal energy storage can be quite significant, so every business owner needs to consider implementing the technology. Adjustable Speed Drives (ASD) Speed drives are sophisticated electronic devices designed to control the speed of motors based on user settings, programmed instructions or demand. When your HVAC needs are minimal, the ASD can reduce the speed of blower and fan

Myths and facts about carbon monoxide

Carbon Monoxide is a gas that can potentially be deadly. However, there is a lot of misinformation about carbon monoxide. The best way to protect your family is to know what information is myth, and what is fact. We here at MightyServ are committed to not only customer satisfaction, but helping to keep your family safe. Here is a list of some of the myths and facts about carbon monoxide: Myth: You Can Smell And Taste Carbon Monoxide Fact: Carbon monoxide does not have a color, odor or taste. People can smell the byproducts of the burning fuel, but they will not smell the carbon monoxide itself. Myth: Carbon Monoxide Can Only Exist If Something Like A Heating Appliance or Fireplace Is Burning Fuel Fact: The air we breathe has carbon monoxide. The body needs a certain amount of carbon monoxide. It can also process carbon monoxide we do not need. Myth: Carbon Monoxide Should Be Maintained And Installed Like Smoke Alarms Fact: Smoke rises, but the weight of carbon monoxide is about the same as the air we breathe. That is why carbon monoxide detectors can be installed at floor level, but smoke detectors have to be installed on

The Importance of Changing Your Air Filter

With so many household chores to complete, many people overlook important HVAC maintenance tasks. One crucial objective is to perform an air filter change three to four times per year. Three-inch or smaller filters should be replaced after 90 days; larger units need to be changed every four months. This type of heating and cooling system maintenance can prevent health problems, enhance comfort, reduce air pollution and cut operating costs. Changing Your Air Filter Enhances Energy Efficiency Compared to new filters, grimy units make it considerably harder for air to move through the system. They have the potential to raise fuel or electric power consumption by as much as 15 percent. For example, a dirty air filter could boost a home’s annual cooling costs from $900 to $1,035. Keep in mind that some types of new HVAC filters operate more efficiently than others. Promote System Reliability & Performance The added energy costs associated with a clogged filter are often minimal compared to the repair bills. It may begin to cause mechanical problems after excessive amounts of dirt accumulate on coils or motors. This results in costly service calls, repair work and part replacements. Another problem is that it may force

Common Cooling Myths You Need to Know

Like most of us, you have probably been influenced by stories of how to improve your home cooling. Some of these suggestions may be among the many falsehoods that are generously shared between homeowners. Here, are at least five common cooling myths that can be discredited: Myth No. 1: Fans Cool Down a Room Fans have one purpose, to move air around. When this air blows across your body, it feels cool, so you naturally assume the air is cooled down. In fact, the air is as uncomfortably warm after it’s blown across your body as before it began to move. The only time fans cool a room is when they draw cooler air from outside to the inside. Myth No. 2: Air Conditioners Only Cool Air It is a known fact that humid air feels hotter than dry air. Another function of your air conditioner is to remove humidity from a room using a drying function built into the unit. When this function isn’t working properly, your home will seem hotter. If your air conditioner lacks this function, try adding a dehumidifier to the rooms you want cooled. Myth No. 3: A Larger Air Conditioner Will Cool Your Home

How Commercial HVAC Services Differ From Residential HVAC Services

Residential and commercial HVAC services differ greatly on the grounds of area of application, equipment installation, repair and maintenance of the same. Whenever you face HVAC problems, it is good to have a clear picture of what kind of service you expect. This goes a long way in helping you figure out the type of technician you are going to call. Area of Application Residential HVAC services apply to residential settings like bungalows, gated communities, neighborhood apartments and so on. On the other hand, commercial HVAC services will apply to government facilities, office buildings, schools, zoos or aquariums, office establishments, restaurants and any other type of building that does not count as a residential setting. Equipment Servicing Commercial HVAC services also contrast with residential HVAC servicing in the way installation, repair or maintenance of equipment is done. When installing HVAC systems for commercial buildings, a custom sheet metal fabrication technique has to be used in order to match the old ductwork to the new one. Where the commercial building has its own metal fabrication sheets, installing the HVAC system becomes easier. Additionally, because commercial buildings have unique temperature and humidity needs, they will need a special kind of ventilation technology
