It is important for commercial HVAC units to have their coils cleaned at least once a year for several reasons. First, dirty coils can reduce the efficiency of the system by making it more difficult for the unit to transfer heat. This can result in higher energy costs and reduced comfort for the building occupants. In addition, dirty coils can cause the unit to work harder than it needs to, which can lead to increased wear and tear and the need for more frequent repairs.

There are several ways to clean the coils on a commercial HVAC unit, including using a brush or a vacuum to remove dirt and debris, and using a coil cleaner to loosen and remove more stubborn deposits. Sometimes high-pressure air or water may be used to blast away dirt and grime.

Here at Century Commercial Service, we offer a range of services for the maintenance and repair of commercial HVAC units, including coil cleaning. Our team of experienced technicians are trained to safely and effectively clean the coils on a variety of HVAC systems, and we have the tools and expertise to get the job done right. A once-per-year cleaning is included in our HVAC preventative maintenance program, which is designed to help keep your HVAC system running smoothly and efficiently.

The Electrical Team at Century Commercial Service recently solved a unique challenge for one of our amazing Service Partners. This customer had a monument sign located in a remote area with no existing power source nearby. Being a large Retail Center, the sign was crucial for the tenant’s business but remained un-powered due to the lack of electricity in the area. Slot cutting or boring to bring power to the sign was not an option, but Century Commercial Service was determined to find a solution for the customer and came up with a creative and innovative solution – a custom-designed dedicated solar array to power the monument sign.

The first step was to assess the electrical requirements of the monument sign and determine the necessary components for the solar array. Century Commercial Service’s team of experienced electricians conducted a thorough analysis and determined that a solar panel system, battery, inverter, and a charge controller were necessary.

The next step was to design and build the custom solar array. Century Commercial Service’s team designed and built a solar panel array that was tailored specifically to the electrical requirements of the monument sign. The array was designed to maximize the energy output while being aesthetically pleasing to the customer. The team also took into account the surrounding environment, including wind and weather patterns, to ensure that the solar array was secure and durable.

Once the custom solar array was installed, it was connected to the battery and charge controller to ensure a consistent and reliable source of power for the monument sign. Our Service Partner was thrilled with the results, as the sign is now powered and visible from a great distance.

The installation of the custom solar array by the Electrical Team at Century Commercial Service not only solved the customer’s problem but also served as a unique and innovative solution for a common challenge faced by many Commercial Properties; how to get power to an area where there is no power supply currently. The use of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, not only benefits the environment but also helps businesses save money on energy costs in the long run.

Hydro Jetting is a method of cleaning pipes that involves the use of high-pressure water jets to blast away debris and blockages. It is a powerful and effective way to clear pipes of all types of contaminants, including grease, sludge, sand, and tree roots. Hydro-jetting is often used as a preventive measure to keep pipes in good working order and to prevent future blockages.

One of the main advantages of of this is its versatility. It can be used on a wide range of pipes, including those made of concrete, clay, steel, and PVC. It can also be used on pipes of various sizes, from small residential pipes to large commercial and industrial pipes.

Another advantage is its ability to remove blockages that other methods may not be able to handle. For example, traditional methods like snaking or auguring may not be effective at removing tree roots or large pieces of debris. Hydro-jetting, on the other hand, can easily remove these types of blockages thanks to its high-pressure water jets.

Hydro-Jetting is a safe and environmentally friendly method of cleaning pipes. The high-pressure water jets used in Hydro-jetting are able to remove blockages without damaging the pipes themselves. Additionally, the water used in Hydro-jetting is typically recycled and reused, making it a more sustainable option than other methods that may require the use of harsh chemicals.

To start, a professional plumbing company will first assess the pipes to determine the appropriate amount of pressure and flow rate needed. They will then insert a hose with a specialized nozzle into the pipe. The nozzle is designed to create a powerful jet of water that can blast away blockages and debris.

The process typically takes a few hours to complete, depending on the size and condition of the pipes. Once completed, the pipes should be clear and functioning properly.

Overall, Hydro-Jetting is a highly effective method of cleaning pipes that can save time and money in the long run. It is a safe and environmentally friendly option that can help prevent future blockages and keep pipes in good working order.

Century Commercial Service offers several Hydro-Jetting options on either a schedule Proactive Service Maintenance Program or on an On-Call or Emergency basis.

Northern California | Sacramento |  Auburn |  San Francisco | Bay Area | Reno

 

Contact Us

A commercial rooftop package unit (RTU) is a type of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system that is typically installed on the roof of a commercial building. These units are designed to provide comfortable indoor temperatures and good air quality for the occupants of the building. RTUs come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different types and sizes of buildings, and they can be used for both heating and cooling applications.

One of the main advantages of RTUs is that they can be easily installed on the roof of a building, which frees up valuable floor space that can be used for other purposes. They are also relatively easy to maintain, as all of the components are contained within a single, self-contained unit. However, it is still important to maintain RTUs on a regular basis to ensure that they are functioning properly and efficiently.

Preventative scheduled maintenance is important for RTUs because it can help to identify and fix potential problems before they become major issues. This can save you time and money in the long run, as the cost of repairs and downtime can be significantly reduced. Regular maintenance can also help to increase the lifespan of your RTU and improve its energy efficiency, which can save you money on your energy bills.

Here at Century Commercial Service, we offer a range of solutions for the maintenance and repair of commercial RTUs. Our team of experienced technicians is trained to work on all types of RTUs, and we have the tools and expertise to get the job done right. Whether you need routine maintenance, emergency repairs, or a complete system replacement, we have the experience and knowledge to provide you with the best possible service.

Commercial Leak Detection

Commercial Leak Detection

Contact Us

Underground leak detection is the process of identifying and locating leaks in underground pipes, whether they are carrying water, gas, or other substances. These leaks can be difficult to detect because they are not visible, and they can cause damage to surrounding soil, vegetation, and structures. Below are some common methods used for underground leak detection:

  1. Acoustic leak detection: This method involves using specialized sensors or equipment to listen for the sound of a leak. These sounds can be very faint, so the sensors may need to be placed very close to the pipe to detect them.
  2. Pressure testing: This method involves pressurizing the pipe and measuring the pressure at various points along its length. If there is a leak, the pressure will drop, indicating the location of the leak.
  3. Infrared imaging: This method involves using thermal imaging cameras to detect changes in temperature caused by a leak. The camera can detect these temperature changes even if the leak is small or well-hidden.
  4. Tracer gas testing: This method involves introducing a gas that is detectable by specialized equipment into the pipe. If there is a leak, the gas will escape and be detected by the equipment, indicating the location of the leak.
  5. Ground-penetrating radar: This method involves using radar technology to create a detailed map of the underground area surrounding the pipe. This map can help to identify any areas where the soil has been disturbed, which could indicate the presence of a leak.

It is important to use the appropriate method for the specific type of pipe and substance being carried, as well as the specific conditions of the leak. For example, some methods may not be effective for detecting leaks in pipes that are very deep underground, or for identifying small or slow leaks.

Contact Us

A commercial HVAC compressor is a vital component of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. It is responsible for compressing and circulating refrigerant throughout the system, which allows the unit to cool or heat the air as needed.

The compressor is typically located in the outdoor unit of a split system HVAC system, or it is incorporated into the self-contained units of packaged or rooftop systems. It consists of a motor and a pump that work together to compress the refrigerant and move it through the system.

Compressors can fail for a variety of reasons, including age, overuse, and lack of maintenance. Some common symptoms of a failing compressor include loud noises, poor performance, and insufficient cooling or heating.

If you are experiencing issues with your HVAC compressor, it is important to address the problem as soon as possible. A faulty compressor can cause other components of the system to fail and can lead to costly repairs.

At Century Commercial Service, we are qualified to repair or replace commercial HVAC compressors. Our team of trained technicians has the knowledge and expertise to diagnose and fix compressor issues, ensuring that your HVAC system is functioning properly and efficiently. We offer both emergency and preventative maintenance services to meet the needs of commercial property managers and owners. So, if you are experiencing issues with your HVAC compressor, don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.

Infrared testing (also known as thermal imaging or infrared thermography) is a non-invasive diagnostic technique that involves using a specialized camera to detect and measure differences in temperature on the surface of an electrical panel. This can help to identify issues such as overheating, loose connections, and other problems that could potentially cause electrical failures or fires.

There are several reasons why you might want to conduct infrared testing on an electrical panel:

  1. Early detection: One of the main benefits of infrared testing is that it allows you to identify problems early, before they become more serious or costly to fix. This can help to reduce the risk of electrical failures, fires, or other types of damage.
  2. Increased safety: Infrared testing is a non-invasive and non-contact method of testing, which means it does not require you to touch or disassemble the electrical panel. This can help to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries during the testing process.
  3. Improved efficiency: By identifying and addressing problems in the electrical panel, infrared testing can help to improve the efficiency of the system and reduce energy consumption.
  4. Cost savings: Infrared testing can help to reduce the cost of maintenance and repairs by identifying problems early and allowing you to fix them before they become more serious. It can also help to reduce the risk of unexpected downtime, which can be costly for businesses.

Electrical Infrared Testing

Overall, infrared testing is an important tool for maintaining the safety and reliability of electrical panels in commercial and industrial environments. It can help to identify problems that might not be visible to the naked eye, and it can help to reduce the risk of electrical failures and other types of damage.

Century Commercial Service suggests that every Commercial Property perform this service at least every 2 years.  Assuring that your Electrical Panels are in an operationally safe state is incredibly important for properly maintaining your Commercial Property.

Commercial storm drain maintenance is crucial for ensuring the proper functioning of a commercial property’s storm drain system and preventing costly repairs. Storm drains play an important role in directing water away from a building and its surroundings, protecting it from flooding, and preventing damage to the property.

Regular inspections of a storm drain system should be done to check for any clogs, debris, or other potential issues that could cause problems in the future. During these inspections, a professional CCS plumber will check the inlets, grates, and pipes for any blockages and remove them. This will help to prevent water from backing up and causing flooding, which can lead to severe damage to a commercial property.

Regular maintenance and cleaning of a storm drain system helps prevent progressive damage and deterioration to the system’s pipes, grates, and other components, and helps prolong the life of the storm drain system.

Contact Century Commercial Service today to learn more about our preventative maintenance plans for all your commercial property storm drain system needs.

Exterior high reach lighting refers to lighting systems that are mounted on the exterior of buildings or other structures, typically at heights greater than 20 feet. These lighting systems are used to illuminate large areas, such as parking lots, sporting facilities, drive aisles and building exteriors, and are an important aspect of building maintenance and safety.

Proper maintenance of exterior high reach lighting is essential to ensure that the lighting systems are functioning effectively and safely. Under the CCS Exterior Lighting Maintenance Program, we will perform the following service for maintaining your exterior high reach lighting systems:

  1. Clean the fixtures: Over time, exterior lighting fixtures can become dirty and covered in grime, which can affect the performance of the lighting. To maintain the performance of the fixtures, it is important to clean them regularly; especially LED Fixtures.

  5. Test the lighting system: Regularly power cycling and testing the lighting system can help to identify any problems or issues that need to be addressed. This can be done by turning on the lighting system at different times of the day to ensure that it is functioning properly.
  6. Use a proactive maintenance provider: A proactive maintenance service, through a qualified vendor, can help to ensure that all aspects of the lighting system are being properly maintained. CCS performs this service by providing scheduled night time lighting inspections and reporting along with a customized lighting fixture location map of your property. By having your property visited and inspected on a monthly basis, you will reduce the amount of high dollar repairs due to system negligence.
