http://www.773hotcold.com/peerless-boilers-a-system-with-options/



Hydronic heating systems are practical, efficient and versatile, offering options such as the indirect-fired water heater, radiant systems, snow-melting applications, tankless coils, and hydronic coils. They can divide your home into heating zones, allowing control of heat in different rooms with separate thermostats. The key element of a hydronic heating system is the boiler. Peerless® remains one of the top boiler companies in this industry, manufacturing boilers in many sizes and variations for applications including: residential and commercial, gas and oil-fired, hot water and steam systems, and direct-vent and natural-draft venting. Many Peerless® residential boilers are Energy Star® compliant, very beneficial in keeping control of rising fuel costs.

Chicago Furnace Repair 24/7


Chicago Furnace Repair 24/7
Your furnace is the heart of your home or business. You can take control of your heating bill in two ways: by making your home or business as energy efficient as possible, and by making the heating system more efficient. Depending on the age of your furnace, it may be wise not to spend money on major furnace modifications but rather on the purchase of a new energy efficient furnace that will save money on heating and air conditioning, conserve fuel, and keep your home consistently warm in winter and cool in summer.
Some facts about gas and electric furnaces
Gas furnaces – either natural or propane – operate in much the same way. The heating cycle begins as the temperature in the room falls below the thermostat’s chosen setting, thereby sending a signal to fire up the burners. Older furnaces used a pilot light as an ignition source; modern, more efficient ones use a silicone nitride “glow stick”, through which a current of electricity passes when the furnace calls for heat. The heating cycle commences when a small amount of air and gas enters the combustion chamber, where it is ignited by the pilot light or glow stick. A heat exchanger, mounted above the combustion chamber, absorbs as much heat as possible from this process. Cold air is warmed immediately, and once it reaches a preset temperature, an electric motor powers a blower fan that forces the warm air into the building’s heating ducts and out through the registers. The combustion process results in byproducts such as carbon monoxide or other harmful gases, but high-efficiency furnaces capture and compress them, where they are then ignited in a second combustion chamber before being vented away from the home, usually via a flue pipe. As the furnace distributes warm air, the displaced cold air flows through ducting back to the furnace, where it collects in a plenum box. Before the air enters the plenum, dust particles are filtered out through furnace filters, located at either the cold air return grate in the living space or at the plenum’s entrance.
At the base of an electric furnace, a motorized fan pulls air out of the building’s interior and pushes it into electric heating coils. The air intake opening is covered by a special filter that traps dust, dirt and mold. The fan pushes air directly upwards, where it passes through three layers of red-hot electric coils, increasing the air’s temperature substantially before it’s propelled into an outlet pipe that branches to vents throughout the building. These furnaces, which raise air temperature by recirculating heated air, are controlled by an electronic thermostat which is programmed to determine run-time, speed of the motor and temperature of the coils. While higher-pressure warm air rises up, lower-pressure cool air naturally sinks to the basement or lowest level of the building, where the furnace “inhales” it and heats it. Because the average volume of a building is many times the air intake rate for an electric furnace, the thermostat has built-in functions to determine how much thermal energy is needed, thus enabling the furnace to shut off at a certain point to prevent temperatures reaching higher than expected.
Citywide Supply & Service provides installation, complete safety inspection (we examine heat exchangers, clean burners, pilot orifices, vacuum lines and blowers), maintenance and repair of all makes and models of gas or electric furnaces, residential or commercial. If you are looking to replace your furnace, we carry a full line with options to fit the budget of any home or business.
We offer competitive, affordable pricing, backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. There are no hidden fees, nor extra charges for services like evening and weekend repairs or installations. We have a basic service charge to come to your home or business, inspect the furnace, evaluate the work needed to be done, and give you a flat rate estimate. Because Citywide’s repair trucks are stocked with most common parts, many repairs can be done on the first visit.

Chicago Water Heater Repair Experts


Citywide "Your Chicago water heater repair experts"

water heater repair chicago

Most homes have a 40-gallon, or a 50-gallon water heater. Larger tanks are generally used in homes that have a hot tub, or with serious hot water demands. We generally recommend swapping an existing tank with an equally-sized new one, but if you consistently run out of hot water, you might consider upgrading to a larger tank.
Do you have a gas water heater or an electric water heater?
Our experienced service technicians will walk you through all the details of your water heater repair or installation. Before we start any work, we will go over an item-by-item checklist of any additional costs for parts and labor to bring the water heater up to code.

Water Heater Sizes

Water heaters most typically come in the following sizes:
  • 40-gallon water heater
  • 50-gallon water heater
  • 66-gallon water heater
  • 75-gallon water heater
  • 80-gallon water heater
  • 120-gallon water heater

Efficiency Rating

Efficiency rating is a measure of the percentage of heat transfer from the energy source to your water. Standard electric tanks range from 88-95% efficiency while standard gas tanks range from 55-65% efficiency. Electric tanks allow for higher energy transfer because they heat your water with heating elements that are submerged in the water, while gas fired tanks are heated from below through a gas burner.
Despite higher efficiency ratings, electric tanks are more expensive to operate as the cost of electricity is higher than the cost of gas to heat your water. So, while heat transfer is more efficient in electric tanks, this does not mean your overall energy usage is less in an electric water heater. Because of this, many utility companies and local governments encourage residents to use gas heating if choosing between the two.
Regardless, the higher the efficiency rating of your tank, the less energy is wasted in heating the water.

Recovery Rate

Recovery rate is the amount of hot water your tank can produce in the space of one hour assuming a 90° F increase in water temperature. Electric tanks produce approximately 20-22 gallons of hot water in an hour while gas tanks produce 30-40 gallons in an hour.

First Hour Rating

First hour rating is simply the amount of hot water your tank can produce in one hour of continuous usage and is a function of the gallon capacity and the recovery rate. 50-gallon gas tanks will typically have a first hour rating in the range of 70-80 gallons; 50-gallon electric tanks will typically have a first hour rating around 60-gallons.

Is a Permit Required?

Most locations where we operate, a permit is required to replace your water heater. There are some plumbers that are willing to replace your water heater without processing a permit. Most all water heaters eventually leak and the average cost of damage is $4500. If you install your water heater without a permit, your insurer can deny the claim.
There are multiple potential safety issues:  fire, carbon monoxide and pressure that can result from an improperly installed water heater.
Citywide strongly recommends that both for your safety and to protect your home from property damage that you only deal with licensed HVAC contractors that recommend permitting the installation.

How to choose a refrigeration service specialist in Chicago


How to choose a commercial refrigeration service specialist in Chicago? First, it is necessary to analyze his/her experience, maintenance contracts and training, in case of any damage or defect in the refrigeration unit.


 
Commercial refrigeration in Chicago is useful for restaurants, businesses or departmental stores providing refrigeration services to their businesses. Commercial refrigeration is used mostly by restaurants in Chicago.

Choosing the exact location for placing the commercial refrigerator is key to setting up perfect refrigeration. Keeping a refrigerator in a dark area necessitates it being equipped with lights that have the ability to switch on automatically when the doors are opened. A majority of commercial refrigerators are produced using stainless materials due not only to easy maintenance but also because they match perfectly with other kitchen items. The size of it should be chosen based on the needs of the business. Refrigerators with glass doors are beneficial for easy location of food items and thus are highly suitable for business which involves selling of food items.

Installing and maintaining commercial refrigeration equipment is done by trained technicians and specialists. This equipment includes grocery and restaurant freezers, grocery and restaurant coolers, and chiller units, which help cool and enable the movement of water via evaporators to provide air conditioning to the facility. Various tools are necessary for properly maintaining this equipment; for instance basic hand tools such as pliers, screwdrivers, flashlights, telescopes, drills, levels and wrenches.

The temperature level and air vapor pressure passing into the refrigeration equipment can be altered with the help of compressors. The compressor’s size and location is determined by the model of the refrigeration equipment. Working movements that cannot be seen, or items inside the refrigeration failing to retain a cool  temperature, indicate a strong probability that the compressor is not functioning properly and requires refrigeration services from a trained technician. There may be several causes of a commercial refrigeration unit failing to maintain a constant temperature level. Sub heating, sub cooling and the operation temperatures must be checked properly to ensure that they are kept at the right level, per the operation manual. The fans of commercial refrigerators are necessary for optimal functioning of the compressors and are also beneficial for regulating the temperature of all the parts; if they are affected, it affects the entire operation. The fans should be cleaned frequently and regularly for effective maintenance of this equipment. A voltage reading device should be used to determine whether the fans are provided with enough power.
