MISSING NAME TAG? How do we size replacement units when the tag is missing? Check out this neat video explaining a real-world scenario. 5-Tips for equipment sizing when the name tag is missing: 1) Consider asking the owner for any submittals or original selection information. 2) See if you can get any information off the compressor like the model and then back into the size. 3) Look for the TXVs and identify the model numbers to help narrow down the tonnage. 4) Measure the DX cooling coil and use that information when making some assumptions, but this is the most risky. 5) The best solution is to work with a #mechanicalengineer or manufacturer rep to calculate the building heat load and make equipment recommendations. I love seeing the new AAON, Inc. flying through the air. Also, take a look at this custom adapter curb!

Is your building's electrical feeder stored in an electrical vault? If so, when was the last time you inspected it? To ensure your building stays safe during hurricane season, it's recommended that you schedule a yearly inspection with your utility provider. This will allow you to ensure sump pumps are working, the room is free of debris, and visually inspect the feeders dedicated to your building. Take the time to ask questions during the meeting to better understand any unknowns. Stay safe and stay prepared! #utilities #electricalsafety #CRE #hurricanepreparedness

#onlinebuildingpermits Navigating the complexities of online building submittals can be quite challenging, especially with each city having its own unique requirements. From separate PDF uploads to specific naming conventions, the process varies significantly. Having worked with online submittals since 2017, I understand the intricacies involved. 1. Have you ever had to revise your submittals post-upload? Are you familiar with the key city contacts for quick processing and routing of your plans? Tracking each department's progress and ensuring timely routing are crucial aspects. 2. Establishing relationships with plan reviewers, building officials, and permit tech staff is essential to address any issues promptly. Monitoring progress and meeting due dates require dedicated time and attention. With expertise in city relationships and permit processes across various jurisdictions, JL Hare can facilitate the smooth advancement of your permits. Remember, it's more efficient to get it right the first time than to redo it. #MULIFAMILYPERMIT #RETAILPERMITS #HOSPITALITYPERMITS **SPECIALS ON TENANT IMPROVEMENTS** Reach out for a fixed fee quote!

☀️ While summer temperatures may seem far off, there are several things facility managers can do before the heat hits to ensure smooth operations. Being proactive about maintenance, rather than focusing on reactive maintenance when something goes wrong, can save facilities money on maintenance and repair costs. Not to mention, proactive maintenance prioritizes HVAC health and can help your building become more resilient when the unexpected happens.

Bad news for all California electricians trying to get a test date from the CA DIR. They are backed up an additional 12 weeks! Electricians are leaving the state due to loss of opportunities and financial gain when the DIR is slowing progress. How can we fulfill ratios and fill the skilled trades gap when the state DIR is a roadblock by not having enough trained workers to move applications forward? Who can help our plight? #California #Electricians #SkilledTrades #CADIR

A really good testimonial from a contractor I know personallly, and know to be one who prides himself on quality work, and rightfully so. How do you feel we as an industry (manufacturers and contractors) need to approach re-educating ourselves, and consumers, that an AC system is a “healthy comfort system” not just a “cooling or heating appliance”??? The home is an ecosystem in which all components must work together toward creating a healthy and efficient environment.
