services contractor serving commercial and residential customers in the Tri-State Region. Hutchinson offers these tips to help add life to HVAC sys- tems, keep the office environ- ment comfortable for employees, and improve the bottom line. • Get an AC inspection and tune up. Hutchinson’s certifi- cated technicians will test the HVAC system to determine if any repairs are needed. Pre- ventive maintenance will keep the system running smooth and efficiently, and extend its service life, too.
• Swap out air filters. Rule of thumb is to change filters ever quarter and before every season at a minimum, and as needed. • Install programmable con- trols. Employees won’t have to worry or remember to ad- just thermostats when they leave. Consider a 21st century control system, too for extra efficiency. With the click of a mouse or a tap on their mobile device, Honeywell Web Certi- fied Hutchinson technicians can access heating and cooling controls over the web, allowing them to quickly monitor and repair any heating or cooling issues remotely. • Get ductwork inspected and cleaned. Leaks or cracks can reduce energy efficiency in HVAC systems and result in higher utility bills. A duct system that’s properly cleaned and sealed can save businesses money and promote wellness and comfort. • Spring clean up around HVAC units. During the win- ter, leaves and debris can build up around units. Make sure to clear this away during spring cleaning to give the unit at least two feet of clearance all the way around. n Gr e en bu i l d i ng guide offers blue- print for sustainable development in NJ NEW JERSEY — AKRF, Inc. announced the release of the New Jersey Developers’ Green Infrastructure Guide.
