Preventitive Maintenance Program

 

Refrigeration and HVAC systems are a costly, but necessary, part of any building's operation.  Keep your expensive equipment running longer and more efficiently with our Preventative Maintenance Program.  Reduce energy costs, protect your valuable merchandise, and keep customers and employees comfortable throughout the year.  Resulting  energy savings generally offset the reasonable fees charged by Cen-Cal for this program!

ENERGY SAVINGS POTENTIAL

Refrigeration and HVAC represent your biggest energy cost.  One third of energy usage is in heating and cooling buildings!  The CEE found that up to 50% more energy could be saved with proper installation, sizing, and maintenance of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

           
           Improvement                                             Energy Savings

           Adjusting operating sequence                                    25-35%

           Cleaning Coils                                                            5-15%

           Replacing dirty air filters                                          10-15%

           Removing condenser coil scale                                 25-30%

           Cleaning burner assembly                                              15%

           Eliminating fan belt slippage                                     15-20%
