Man Cave Upgrade for Fralicks Beach Home
Project Overview:
A new homeowner in the Fralicks Beach area needed an HVAC makeover to convert an indoor pool space into a cozy man cave. Our task was to transition the home’s heating system from propane to a more efficient natural gas setup.
Challenges:
- Removing the old propane fireplace.
- Installing a comprehensive natural gas system, including a furnace, ductwork, humidifier, gas line, and thermostat.
- Ensuring seamless integration with future additions, such as an air conditioning system.
Solutions and Results:
Our skilled team successfully installed a natural gas furnace, providing an efficient heating solution for the renovated man cave. We also replaced the main house’s propane furnace with a natural gas unit and planned for a future water heater upgrade. These improvements significantly increased energy efficiency and comfort, setting the stage for a modern living experience with reduced utility costs.
Efficient Heat Upgrade for Car Wash Facility
Project Overview:
A local car wash faced issues with an outdated NTI boiler system, which struggled to maintain appropriate temperatures during extreme cold conditions.
Challenges:
- Replacing the old boiler with a model that offers enhanced performance.
- Redesigning the piping system for optimal and even heat distribution.
- Ensuring the facility could maintain functionality in frigid weather conditions.
Solutions and Results:
We installed a new NTI boiler and revamped the piping configuration, significantly improving the system's efficiency. Adding a slab sensor and a tekmar controller with Wi-Fi capabilities allowed for better monitoring of outdoor temperatures, optimizing the heating curve. The 4-bay car wash, utility area, and surrounding concrete apron are now consistently kept between 2 and 3°C, preventing ice buildup even in temperatures as low as -30°C. This upgrade not only met but exceeded the client’s expectations, ensuring safety and operational continuity.
