Ben Franklin famously said, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” That statement rings true every summer when the Climate Technologies team hears from facilities managers struggling to meet the needs of their customers or stakeholders.
Start with Prevention, Not Panic
Summer months bring temperature and humidity control challenges to every structure. When precise environmental controls are required, the consequences of a few degrees can be catastrophic. The time to prevent failures is well in advance, through maintenance and repair, replacement, or complete system upgrades. It’s never too soon to be proactive.
While spring and early summer are usually too late for a massive system upgrade, it’s better to have a conversation about system demands and potential challenges as soon as possible, rather than during a crisis. Tactics for this time of year may include purchasing replacements for mission-critical components so the parts are on-site, or preventative replacement as insurance against failure when higher loads and demands hit the system. Depending on the need, some equipment can be on site faster than facilities professionals realize. In many cases, there are short-term options to help with immediate needs, while planning for more permanent solutions.
The Climate Technologies Advantage
That’s one of the benefits of working with a solution provider like Climate Technologies. Our team has decades of experience designing, provisioning and installing complex solutions to address challenging environmental control requirements.
One aspect of that expertise is our team is often able to develop several options based on budget, timeliness and urgency. For example, one scenario may include temporary equipment to augment existing infrastructure while an entirely new central utility plant is designed and constructed. Another tailored solution could leverage skid-based components for faster installs.
For companies anticipating challenges this summer, there are likely more options than you realize. Take the simple step of contacting Climate Technologies and let’s discuss the need. Together, we’ll remove or positively mitigate seasonal risks for the pending summer season.
