The HVAC-R shop consists of 13 members; Gregg Sipler, James Turner, Chuck Underwood, Pete Lorenz, Phillip Rash, Chris Chilton, Todd Yates, Michael Boulton, Mark Wilson, Mike James, Gary Hayes, Jason Dill and Michael Roberts. The HVAC-R shop performs preventive maintenance and repairs throughout the entire campus on a wide variety of equipment, ranging from window ac units and refrigerators, to walk-in coolers and chillers. Our workload is constantly growing due to renovations and the additions of new buildings throughout the campus. We try to avoid a lot of major repairs and disasters through our PM (Preventive Maintenance) program, and our Alarm Flash program. Our PM program schedules and generates work orders on every piece of equipment that we maintain. Lots of major repairs are avoided by PM work orders, which enable us to repair smaller problems before they have a chance to grow.

Our Alarm Flash program is a fully automated system that sends a warning message to a pager. The pager is carried by one of our shop members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and holidays. There is a pre-determined temperature set point in each of our automated buildings. When the space temperature in the building gets too far above or below the temperature set point, the system automatically calls the pager and tells the tech which building is having a problem and what the problem is. This enables us to repair a lot of problems before our customers realize there is a problem.

We maintain a central chiller plant that produces up to 6,000 tons of air conditioning to approximately 26 buildings. This plant produces 42 degrees water that is piped thru as large as 24" pipe to each of these buildings and pumped thru air handling units to give you the air conditioning in your building.

The HVAC-R shop makes a constant effort to keep all of our customers comfortable and happy. Chances are, when you enter your building first thing in the morning and the temperature feels pleasant, we have already been there.
