commercial hvac system HVAC cleaning is the process of cleaning the components of an HVAC system to improve its efficiency and indoor air quality.

Did you know that SERVPRO of New Philadelphia is capable of any size HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) cleaning? HVAC cleaning is the process of cleaning the components of an HVAC system to improve its efficiency and indoor air quality. Over time, dust, dirt, debris, and other contaminants can accumulate in your Wilkshire Hills HVAC system, reducing its performance and potentially affecting the health of occupants.

The process of HVAC cleaning typically involves the following steps:

Inspection: A trained professional inspects the HVAC system in your Dundee commercial building to identify any potential problems or areas of concern.

Preparation: The HVAC system is turned off and sealed to prevent dust and debris from spreading throughout your Gilmore commercial building during the cleaning process.

Cleaning: The HVAC system's components, including the air ducts, coils, filters, and other parts, are cleaned using specialized equipment and techniques. This may include brushing, vacuuming, and air pressure cleaning.

Disinfection: After cleaning, the HVAC system is treated with a disinfectant to eliminate any remaining bacteria, mold, or other microorganisms.

Inspection and Testing: The HVAC system is inspected again to ensure that all components are clean and functioning properly. Air quality testing may also be performed to verify that the indoor air quality has improved after cleaning.

Regular HVAC cleaning can improve the efficiency of the system, reduce energy costs, and improve indoor air quality, which can lead to a healthier environment for occupants. It is recommended to have HVAC systems cleaned every 3-5 years or more frequently if there are occupants with respiratory conditions or allergies.

Spring is on its way, and you know what that means, spring cleaning for your Midvale, Malvern, Winfield, and surrounding areas commercial property! Spring cleaning can seem like a real chore, but only when you do not have a plan. It will help you to keep things in order when you know what to clean, when to clean it, and how to clean it. The first step is to take inventory on things that have not been cleaned in a while. It is time to clean the objects you can’t remember the last cleaning!

What and When to Clean 

A thorough cleaning often includes windows, stairwells, high atriums, or other areas not reachable from the floor. Always try to use pole-mounted brushes, squeegees, or other aids to minimize the need to climb. If climbing is necessary, be sure to utilize only step stools with a sturdy hand hold to help maintain balance. Falls from ladders are a leading cause of injury in both the home and workplace, so minimizing all climbing should be a top priority. Make sure you have all the cleaning chemicals you need, don't forget to deep clean floors! Lastly, make a cleaning checklist for the year so you can make sure you keep up with everything.

Good security is what will keep you from burglaries in your Strasburg, Malvern, Pekin, and surrounding areas business. If you do have a burglary, security also helps you find the culprit. Having good security can give you greater peace of mind when you are away from the business.

How to Secure Your Building

?     Properly Secure Doors and Entry Points - High-quality locks are advantageous for businesses because it’s a relatively low-cost security measure. All doors and points of entry should be locked, even during regular business hours, when they’re not being used. Windows are no exception. They should be secured from the inside when the office is closed or when a space is not being used. If it’s possible, have deadbolts installed on all the doors accessing the building. If deadbolt locks are already in place, make sure that they all function normally.

?     Install Security Cameras - Adding security cameras will allow you, as the business owner, to see who is accessing the building.

?      Provide Ample Lighting - Exterior lighting works as an effective crime deterrent. A well-lit property around the building and parking lot also goes a long way in making your employees feel safe during the dark evening hours.

  • All heaters need space. Keep children, pets and things that can burn (paper, matches, bedding, furniture, clothing, carpets, and rugs) at least three feet away from heating equipment.
  • If you must use a space heater, place it on a level, hard and nonflammable surface (such as ceramic tile floor), not on rugs, carpets or near bedding or drapes. Plug power cords directly into outlets - never into an extension cord.
  • Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended and use a glass or metal fire screen to keep fire and embers in the fireplace.

Understanding Warehouse Safety in Gilmore, OH

1/29/2022 (Permalink)

Man with a clipboard. The fatal injury rate for the warehousing industry is higher than the national average for all industries.

Warehouse safety is a topic that needs to be talked about almost daily. Oftentimes, accidents in warehouses happen because safety talks are not occurring enough. OSHA shares a statistic that states, “The fatal injury rate for the warehousing industry is higher than the national average for all industries.” A reason for this is that there are many potential hazards in the industry. These hazards include,

  • Unsafe use of forklifts.
  • Improper stacking of products.
  • Failure to use proper personal protective equipment.
  • Inadequate fire safety provisions

How to Prevent Workplace Injury

OSHA suggests having workplace safety meetings as well as doing safety walkthroughs to identify possible hazards. They state, “One of the "root causes" of workplace injuries, illnesses, and incidents is the failure to identify or recognize hazards that are present, or that could have been anticipated.” Here are a couple tips to follow to prevent injury:

  • Collect and review information about the hazards present or likely to be in the workplace.
  • Conduct initial and periodic workplace inspections of the workplace to identify new or recurring hazards.

Important Ways to Take Care of Your Winfield Commercial Building

Man checking a machine. It is important to keep up with taking care of your commercial building, both the exterior and interior.

It is important to keep up with taking care of your commercial building, both the exterior and interior. If preventative maintenance gets behind on one thing or another, it could become an issue. Below are some maintenance tips on how to preserve your building, equipment, and the grounds.

Preventative Maintenance Measures

CCPIA.org says “Preventive maintenance is a proactive strategy for building maintenance that keeps the building’s critical assets in good working order. It includes regular inspections and selective service and repairs to the building’s equipment at set intervals based on usage or time.” Below are preventative maintenance tips from CCPIA,

  • Routine maintenance. This includes inspections, cleaning, and machine servicing regularly (weekly, monthly, annually, etc.). This strategy typically involves small tasks, such as changing filters.
  • Proactive replacements. This requires replacing worn, broken, or inoperative building components before their failure. Such replacements eliminate high costs and unplanned downtime, as happens during a breakdown.
  • Scheduled refurbishments. This usually occurs in colleges and schools, and other establishments that have cyclic usage. This may also happen at utility companies and continuous process-type facilities. During a scheduled shutdown (i.e., a break between college semesters), all known defective and deteriorated components are repaired or replaced.

Even the highest-quality carpet and upholstery can show soiling over time. Protect your investment by calling us to clean and maintain your carpet and upholstery. The SERVPRO System offers several cleaning options to match any type of upholstery or carpet.

We also offer a range of specialized cleaning methods:

  • Bonnet Cleaning: A less aggressive method for short piled carpets.

  • Deluxe Precondition and Rinse: Helps restore deeply soiled areas.
  • Showcase Premier Cleaning: The most thorough cleaning method in the industry.
  • Dry Cleaning: When color-fastness is an issue.

Preventative Maintenance

Carpets act as a filter, trapping dust, dirt, gases, animal hair, and other soils. All carpet manufacturers agree on actions you can take between carpet cleanings to increase the life span of your carpet.

IICRC states that 79% of soil in carpet is dry soil. Vacuuming is a key component to proper care and maintenance of carpet.

Preventative maintenance actions include: 

  • Regular vacuuming
  • Spot removal
  • Piloting the carpet to prevent matting
  • Moving furniture to change traffic patterns
  • Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet

Professional Cleaning

Our professional cleaning can address moderate and heavy soil conditions in your carpets. How often you’ll need professional cleaning depends on soil build-up, traffic, type and color of carpeting. A good rule of thumb would be to professionally clean your carpet every 12 months. The best advice is to clean carpets before they become totally saturated with soil. If you wait until carpets look dirty, the carpets may never be restored to their former appearance. Dirt builds up in layers, and when a carpet looks dirty you are only seeing the dirt at the tips of the fibers. More dirt is hiding below the surface down near the base of the pile, causing damage to the carpet. When a carpet is saturated with dirt, the soil has penetrated crevices and has become firmly lodged.

We will get the job done right. For a cleaning backed by state-of-the-art equipment, over 40 years of experience and Professionals trained to the highest standards, call us today.

Will Working From Home Cut It When the Pandemic is Over?

image of father holding one of his kids and sitting next to his other child while working from home with his work supplies Research suggests productivity is up due to a non-distracting environment, improvement on life to work balance, and less pollution from vehicles.

One of the biggest effects to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic is plenty of commercial business are seeing employees working from home. The question is: after the dust settles how many workplaces will maintain this lifestyle?

FORBES magazine reported that “An early-April 2020 MIT survey of 25,000 American workers found that 34% of those who’d been employed four weeks earlier said they’re currently working from home. Combined with the roughly 15% who said they’d been working from home pre-COVID-19, that means nearly half the U.S. workforce might now be remote workers. And that’s also true, the researchers say, for workers 55 and older.”

Due to unpopular belief, working from home has shown its perks. Research suggests productivity is up due to a non-distracting environment, improvement on life to work balance, and less pollution from vehicles commuting to and from. 

But let us not forget that working from home is not for everyone. Especially here in New Philadelphia. If you are considered essential---there is no working in your PJ’s. Manufacturing, healthcare, emergency and police officers, and grocery store employees are just a few to name the real heroes of this pandemic. They have gotten up every day and risked their health to keep the economy, safety, and health of the community moving in a positive direction.

Now that some employers have seen it can work. Research shows this trend may continue throughout 2021. “Once businesses and individuals invest in the fixed costs of remote work,” the MIT researchers wrote in their recent report, “they may decide to stay with the new methods.” But on the other hand, with essential employees…some things will change. Do not expect to sit as close to your neighbor as you once did. And sanitization will be part of everyday life.

image of crime scene yellow caution tape Crime scene cleanup is a term applied to the cleanup of blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials.

Crime scene television shows could not possibly be more popular world-wide but especially in the United States. CSI, Law & Order, NCIS and Criminal Minds have taken over the nightly television schedule. And for good reason. People love a good crime scene. In fact---a 2009 article from The Telegraph newspaper reported that shows like CSI have fueled a boom in forensic science degrees, glorifying the profession, despite fears many courses fail to prepare students from the job due to the grisly circumstances. But even more gruesome… who cleans up the accident? And what exactly does the clean-up of a crime scene consist of after those forensic agents come in and make for good TV?

Crime scene cleanup is a term applied to the cleanup of bloodbodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials. The types of cleanups that are most common are: homicide, suicide, and decomposition after an unattended death.

Are Your Commercial Ducts in a Row?

A dirty duck saying it's duct work not duck work Keep all your commercial ducts in a row and call SERVPRO of New Philadelphia today!

The ventilation system is often the biggest culprit in poor indoor air quality. Think about your commercial building: when was the last time the duct work was inspected? Usually, HVAC systems can operate smoothly for quite some time without any attention. This makes it easy to forget about them and dirty ducts circulate odors and contaminants throughout your building or home.

If your system is clean and properly functioning, it should provide you with good indoor air quality and a low monthly cost for running the system. It is recommended to change the air filter every 90 days and do a quick inspection for any damage, mold, or rodent infestation. Signs of a rodent infestation would be feces or any unusual odor or noises coming from your system.

SERVPRO of New Philadelphia offers inspection of your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning unit). Keeping the HVAC system cleaned will save you money in the long haul because it can potentially extend the lifespan of your equipment by allowing it to operate at peak condition.

SERVPRO of New Philadelphia has highly trained clean-up and restoration technicians who will provide you with a free estimate to clean your HVAC system and duct work. We will use a portable ventilation and air duct cleaning system to examine the duct work and make a clean sweep to remove all the dust and grime.

Keep all your commercial ducts in a row and call SERVPRO of New Philadelphia today if you need your HVAC system and duct work cleaned. Call us today at (330) 556 4656
