Mini Split or Ductless Systems

LIGHTING | ELECTRICAL | PLUMBING | MECHANICAL

An HVAC mini split is a type of heating and cooling system that is commonly used in commercial building applications. It consists of an outdoor unit that is connected to one or more indoor units by a small conduit. The outdoor unit contains the compressor and the expansion valve, while the indoor unit contains the evaporator and the air handler.

One of the main advantages of mini splits is that they can provide individualized temperature control for different areas or zones within a commercial building. This can be especially useful in buildings with multiple occupants or spaces with different heating and cooling needs. Mini splits are also relatively easy to install, as they do not require ductwork like traditional HVAC systems.

To ensure that your mini split system is operating efficiently and effectively, it is important to maintain it on a regular basis. This may include tasks such as cleaning and replacing filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting the system for any signs of wear or damage. It is generally recommended to have mini splits inspected and maintained at least once a year, although more frequent maintenance may be needed depending on the age and condition of the system.

Here at Century Commercial Service, we offer a range of services for the installation and maintenance of mini split systems for commercial property managers and owners. Our team of experienced technicians is trained to work on all types of mini splits, and we have the tools and expertise to get the job done right.

Infrared thermal electrical panel testing is a non-invasive method of testing the condition of an electrical panel. It involves using an infrared camera to scan the panel and identify any areas of excess heat or abnormal temperature changes. These areas may indicate problems with the panel, such as faulty wiring or overloaded circuits, which can be dangerous and cause electrical issues or fires.

To perform infrared thermal electrical panel testing, an electrician will use an infrared camera to scan the panel from a safe distance. The camera will capture images of the panel and create a thermal map, which will highlight any areas of excess heat or abnormal temperature changes. The electrician will then review the thermal map and identify any potential issues with the panel.

Infrared thermal electrical panel testing is an effective way to identify potential problems with an electrical panel before they become serious issues. It can help to prevent electrical fires and other hazards, ensuring the safety of the property and its occupants.

Here at Century Commercial Service, we offer infrared thermal electrical panel testing services for commercial property managers. Our team of experienced electricians can perform infrared thermal testing on your electrical panel to identify any potential issues and recommend any necessary repairs.

Emergency Lighting Requirements

Ensuring Safety and Compliance

California Commercial Properties

Commercial properties in the state of California are subject to specific regulations regarding emergency lighting systems. These requirements are in place to ensure the safety of occupants during power outages or emergencies. At Century Commercial Service, we specialize in emergency fixture testing, repairs, and replacements, helping commercial property owners meet these stringent requirements.

Emergency lighting serves a crucial role in guiding occupants to safety and providing illumination during critical situations. In California, there are several key aspects to consider when it comes to emergency lighting in commercial properties.

One important requirement is the illumination level. California building codes dictate that emergency lighting systems must provide adequate lighting for clear visibility along exit routes, corridors, and stairwells. This ensures that occupants can navigate the building safely and efficiently during an emergency, minimizing the risk of accidents or panic.

Additionally, emergency lighting systems in commercial properties must remain operational for a minimum of 90 minutes following a power outage. This extended duration ensures that occupants have ample time to evacuate the building or find a safe area until assistance arrives. It is crucial for property owners to maintain the functionality and reliability of their emergency lighting systems to meet this requirement.

Proper placement and coverage of emergency lighting fixtures are also essential. These fixtures should be strategically positioned throughout the building to illuminate exit paths, staircases, ramps, and other critical areas. Adequate coverage ensures that occupants can easily identify the safest routes to evacuate the premises.

Century Commercial Service understands the significance of complying with emergency lighting requirements in commercial properties. Our team of experts specializes in emergency fixture testing, repairs, and replacements. We conduct comprehensive testing to ensure that emergency lighting fixtures meet the required standards, including functionality, battery life, and illumination levels.

In the event of malfunctioning or damaged emergency lighting fixtures, Century Commercial Service provides efficient and reliable repairs and replacements. Our team has the expertise to identify and address any issues, restoring the full functionality of the emergency lighting system and ensuring compliance with California regulations.

By partnering with Century Commercial Service, commercial property owners can have peace of mind knowing that their emergency lighting needs are in capable hands. We prioritize safety and compliance, offering tailored solutions that meet the specific requirements of each property. When it comes to emergency lighting in commercial properties, Century Commercial Service is your trusted partner.

Why Commercial Properties May Require a Drain Line Replacement

Posted on June 9, 2023 by Lorin Estes

Why Commercial Properties May Require a Drain Line Replacement

LIGHTING | ELECTRICAL | PLUMBING | MECHANICAL

Contact Us

In any commercial property, a well-functioning plumbing system is crucial for smooth operations and the comfort of occupants. One component that plays a vital role in the system’s efficiency is the drain line. Over time, drain lines can deteriorate, crack, or develop leaks, necessitating their replacement. In this article, we will explore why drain line replacement may be necessary for commercial properties and outline the steps involved in the process. At Century Commercial Service, we specialize in plumbing repairs, including drain line replacement, to ensure optimal performance for your commercial property.

Why Replace a Drain Line?

1.) Age and Wear:

Drain lines, like any other plumbing component, have a limited lifespan. As they age, they become susceptible to wear and tear, leading to cracks, leaks, or structural degradation. If left unaddressed, these issues can result in major plumbing problems and potential damage to the property.

2.) Corrosion:

Certain types of drain lines, such as cast iron or galvanized steel, are prone to corrosion over time. Corrosion weakens the integrity of the pipes, making them more susceptible to leaks or complete failure. Replacement becomes necessary to prevent further damage and maintain a reliable plumbing system.

3.) Tree Root Intrusion:

In commercial properties with underground drain lines, tree root intrusion can pose a significant problem. Tree roots naturally seek out sources of water, and if they find their way into drain lines, they can cause blockages, cracks, or even complete pipe collapse. In such cases, replacement is often the best solution to restore proper drainage.

Steps in Drain Line Replacement:

1.) Assessment and Planning:

A professional plumbing team, such as the experts at Century Commercial Service, will conduct a thorough inspection of the drain line to assess its condition. Based on their findings, they will develop a comprehensive plan for replacement, considering factors like pipe material, location, and accessibility.

2.) Rerouting:

In some cases, rerouting the new drain line may be necessary to avoid existing problem areas or accommodate changes in the property’s layout. Careful consideration is given to ensure proper slope and alignment for efficient drainage.

3.) Removal of Old Drain Line:

The old drain line is carefully removed, taking precautions to minimize disruptions to the property. This process involves cutting and disconnecting the existing pipes and safely disposing of them in accordance with local regulations.

4.) Installation of New Drain Line:

The new drain line, made from durable and corrosion-resistant materials, is installed according to the planned layout. Heavy-duty couplings are used to ensure secure connections and minimize the risk of future leaks or failures.

5.) Testing and Inspection:

Once the replacement is complete, the system is thoroughly tested to ensure proper flow and functionality. Any necessary adjustments or fine-tuning are made to guarantee optimal performance.

Maintaining a reliable plumbing system is essential for commercial properties to ensure smooth operations and the comfort of occupants. When a drain line replacement becomes necessary, entrust the job to experienced professionals like Century Commercial Service. With our expertise in plumbing repairs and specialized knowledge in drain line replacement, we are dedicated to delivering efficient and effective solutions tailored to the unique needs of your commercial property.

Don’t let plumbing issues disrupt your business. Contact Century Commercial Service today and let our team of experts handle all your plumbing needs, including drain line replacement, to ensure a well-functioning and reliable plumbing system.
