Who do you call when the Heating, Air conditioning or Ventilation system doesn't work properly, and no one agrees as to what's wrong with it?
We have extensive experience in identifying problems and finding solutions. If necessary, documentation, analysis and expert witness services can be provided to support a settlement process (in or out of court).
If the existing HVAC system just isn't working right & "seat of the pants" adjustments aren't working, the solution may be HVAC System Blueprinting . This is a process which is designed to bring the existing system up to its best possible operating capability and involves:
Calculating actual heating & cooling requirements for each room/zone.
Measuring the actual airflow and heating/cooling delivery to each room/zone.
Adjusting the system to deliver as closely as possible the correct amount of heating/cooling in each zone.
It often seems that when it comes to HVAC systems, all of the "experts" are contractors, utility representatives, or manufacturer's representatives. For smaller HVAC systems the services of a mechanical engineer may be costly.
At Bowser Technical, we are independent, that is to say; we do not sell or install anything except our services , nor do we receive commissions from anyone who does. We routinely work for owners, contractors, utilities, manufacturers, government and non-government agencies without conflict of interest.
