Nordic Temperature Control aims to boost funds for local food bank in the Skagit Valley during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Burlington, Washington – Nordic Temperature Control, a leading HVAC company in the Puget Sound region, recently announced its plan to help boost funds for a local food bank in the Skagit Valley.  Nordic plans to donate 50% of their Commercial and Residential HVAC maintenance and tune-up services through May 30th.

“With the current COVID-19 pandemic, food banks are struggling to keep up with the demand to feed local families.”, says Nordic Temperature Control owners Kevin Hansen and Jake Hovik.  “Nordic Temperature Control has always been an active member of our community, now more than ever is the time to be stepping up to help!”  They continued, “We are grateful for the work of the Helping Hands Food Bank, its staff, and the volunteers who are working around the clock to address food availability issues and hunger throughout Skagit County during this difficult time.”

Helping Hands Food Bank is Skagit County’s largest direct emergency food provider. In 2019 they distributed over 3 million pounds of food to over 55,000 individuals. In April 2020, they have spent over $50,000 in groceries compared to 2019 when they only spent $47,000, making a positive impact for struggling families throughout the local community.

Nichole Long, the Director of Development for the Helping Hands Food Bank stated “Given the current economic climate caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for our organization is rising, the costs are rising, and we can use all the monetary support we can receive to ensure that the food stays on our shelves. Helping Hands will keep working hard to ensure that our children, families, and seniors of Skagit Valley continue to receive the support it needs – especially in these times.” Nichole continued, “We are so thankful for the support of Nordic Temperature and other businesses that have stepped up to provide financial support, and together we will overcome the obstacles.”

Prior to coming to work each day, we are asking our employees to take a personal health self-assessment, which includes questions including:

• Do any of the following currently apply to you?

• Fever (greater than 37.3°C/99.1°F)

• Respiratory symptoms, dry cough or shortness of breath, headache, muscle aches and pains, chills, sore throat or other unexplained severe illness accompanied by a fever.

• Possible contact (within 3 feet/1 meters) of symptomatic individuals or those who have come in contact with the virus.

If our employees answer yes to any of the above, they are being asked to self-quarantine for 14 days, and they cannot return to work until the risk has passed.

Likewise, we ask you to let us know if any of the above apply to you, and we can assess how we serve you, keeping in mind everyone’s safety and health.

Your Health and Safety is our Top Priority. For this reason, Nordic has also implemented new protocols for our field personnel, including:

• • Practice safe social distancing while in your office or home on consultations and during repairs or new installations. While we value face-to-face conversations about your HVAC system, we will follow-up once service or installation is complete by phone, rather than in your home, if you prefer.

  • Additional cleaning measures for our contractors such as frequent handwashing, disinfecting of service vehicles, and hand sanitizer in our vehicles.

  • Wearing face masks whenever performing services inside of your home or business.

We thank you for your business and appreciate your flexibility as we navigate this unprecedented time while keeping you and our employees safe and healthy.  If we can be of assistance, please email us at contact@nordictempcontrol.com or give us a call at 360.873.8163.

Nordic Temperature Control builds a state-of-the-art climate control system for new Janicki Industries aerospace manufacturing plant.

 

Burlington, WA, September 26, 2019 — (VIEW OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE) — Nordic Temperature Control, a leading HVAC company in the Puget Sound region, completes work on a state-of-the-art climate control system for a new Janicki Industries aerospace manufacturing plant in Hamilton, WA.

Janicki Industries is an internationally recognized technical engineering and manufacturing company that delivers innovative products around the world. The primary purpose of their new plant is to produce flight-quality aerospace parts made of advanced composite materials. This facility will support the aerospace industry with carbon fiber parts for commercial jetliners, military aircraft, and space exploration. The 90,000-square-foot facility was built by Chad Fisher Construction and features high bay assembly space, four overhead cranes, a 15,000-square-foot ISO 7 clean room, and a 5,000-square-foot drive-in freezer for storing carbon fiber materials.

One of the most important features of the new plant is a first-of-its-kind, highly efficient climate control system installed by Nordic Temperature Control and designed by Air Reps. Janicki has relied on propane as its primary source of heat and dehumidification reheat throughout their buildings, Air Reps saw this as an opportunity to provide a cutting edge design that would save Janicki Industries significant operating costs. This system is very important for composites fabrication, as it maintains constant temperature and humidity to prevent materials from absorbing moisture or deforming when heated. The new building is served by over 600 tons of Daikin Applied packaged RPS units and is heated utilizing factory-installed custom refrigeration coils tied to 382 tons of Daikin VRV Condensers, a complete Daikin solution and the largest installation of its type in the country. There are 30 Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV) heat pumps that are all linked together and connected to a building management system. The system monitors temperature and humidity and turns on the appropriate heat pump to keep the climate perfect for making carbon fiber parts.

“The Janicki B9 project is the most unique, cutting-edge, and forward-looking project we have been a part of to this point”, said Jake Hovik, owner at Nordic Temperature Control. “I am extremely proud of our team’s ability to successfully complete such a difficult and complex project on time and on budget despite several unforeseen challenges and a very tight timeline.”

Are They Reputable?

Start your research by hopping online and identifying reputable HVAC contractors in your area. Visit their websites to get a feel for each company, and read their services and terms carefully. If you see a few that look like contenders, dig a little deeper to learn about their reputation. Check them out with your local Better Business Bureau; check with the LLR; call their references if they offer that option.  At Nordic Temperature Control, we are A+ rated with the Better Business Bureau and are 5 Star Google Rated.

Are They Licensed, Bonded and Insured?

It’s a good idea to also check whether a company’s technicians are licensed. All reputable technicians are licensed by the state in which they do business for multiple categories, such as low voltage electrical. Make sure the company itself is licensed, bonded and insured before working with them. In addition, make sure that technicians are cross-qualified to handle gas line installation and repair, and plumbing installation and repair, as both of these may be necessary for installing your new furnace. If not, ensure that the company has these types of professionals on hand, or within a working relationship, to help where needed and to inspect the final installation.

Do They Offer Additional Services?

To help you keep your furnace or air conditioner operating at its best, a good HVAC company should offer more than just installation and repair. Does the company offer any kind of preventative maintenance contract? Will they come and do tune-ups on your unit? Are they available for emergency repairs if the air conditioner goes out on the hottest day of summer?

Rest Assured at Nordic Temperature Control, our clients trust and know that our full support is only ONE PHONE CALL AWAY, with 24/7 emergency services available!

Are They Versatile?

Determine whether the HVAC company offers models from different manufacturers such as Coleman or Daikin and if the technicians are trained in installing and servicing each brand. There are about 211 different brands of heating equipment, and thousands of different models, from low-budget items to full-featured and high-efficiency models. A company that offers only one or two brand names may have a good grasp on the intricacies of installing a particular model of furnace. The trade-off, though, is that you have far fewer options. Before choosing a furnace repair service, make sure they are capable of servicing your particular unit, but that they are versatile enough to offer more options if need be.

Do They Offer Financing?

If you want a top-of-the-line model but can’t afford it, find out if your heating company offers financing options. At Nordic Temperature Control, we offer guaranteed financing, with payments as low as $69 per month. Also keep in mind that your installation may qualify for local, state, or federal tax credits or rebates, so if you choose an energy-efficient model, ask your salesperson or technician about this benefit.

What Should I Look For In A Warranty?

Most HVAC contractors will offer a free, one-year warranty on the furnace (the manufacturer’s guarantee). However, at Nordic Temperature Control we offer a Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on any newly installed Full Replacement HVAC systems.

Our goal with every client is to establish and build a long-term relationship. This relationship is built on our client’s trust that we as a company have and keep to the highest standards in the HVAC industry throughout the entire lifespan of the project and years of ongoing maintenance. We get the job done right… the first time!

With so many great choices on the market today, it is important to consult with a professional HVAC technician about your options and to find the thermostat that will best meet your needs. There are many benefits of upgrading your thermostat, and below we have listed quite a few of them based on our years of industry experience.

REASONS TO UPGRADE:

ACCURACY

A manual thermostat is any thermostat that you set manually using a dial or a sliding switch. Often, these traditional thermostats are quite inaccurate as it can be hard to tell where things line up. You’ll often find that the number reading on the thermostat does not reflect the temperature you feel.

Today, smart thermostats have digital displays, making them easy to read. No longer will you have to question whether the reading on the display is accurate. This is a great way to save money on energy, as you won’t find yourself making adjustments as often, taking much strain off your HVAC systems, plus saving you time and money!

PROGRAMMING

Far too often, energy is wasted heating or cooling occupied spaces, and this is especially true in a commercial setting. When your employees head home for the day, it is good to give your commercial HVAC a break.

A smart programmable thermostat allows you to create a personalized heating and cooling schedule to save money on energy. No longer will you have to worry about wasting your money on an unused conditioned air.

WI-FI CAPABILITIES

Nowadays, many of the devices around homes and businesses are WiFi connected — the same goes for thermostats! WiFi connected thermostats allow you to access your HVAC systems remotely, via a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. This means that you’ll never have to worry about someone messing with your thermostat when you’re away on a business trip!

Plus, some WiFi connected thermostats are smarter than ever, able to learn your preferred settings and highlight more opportunities to save even more money.

CALL A PROFESSIONAL

Be sure to consult with a professional HVAC technician if you are interested in upgrading your commercial thermostat. A professional will be able to walk you through all your options and help you make the best decision for your commercial space.

Trust us, we know just how important it is to keep your employees and your customers satisfied, and one way to do that is to keep up on your heating and cooling services. Be sure to schedule annual maintenance and prompt repairs to keep everyone that enters your space comfortable and happy year-round!

If you are interested in upgrading your commercial thermostat, contact the experts at Nordic Temperature Control.
