Portable Heater Hints and Safety
Everyone deals with uneven heating in their home or business. Portable heaters have received a bad reputation as fire hazards. In most cases, though, the fires resulted from failure to follow instructions and common sense. Today’s space heaters are safer and more high-tech than ever. Not to mention the increased efficiency from just a few years ago.
Yes men, you must first read the instructions. Again, space heaters can be operated safely, without any concern for fire, if they are used properly.
Counter tops are not a safe place for most space heaters, unless of course, they are specifically designed for counter tops. Those not designed for counter tops can be a bit unstable and easily be knocked over, or have the cord tripped on.
Always place space heaters AT LEAST 3-feet away from any combustible material: curtains, couches, blankets, etc.
Never use an extension cord with a space heater. If the cord is not long enough to reach—then it is not a good place for the space heater to be located. Most space heaters now come with a cord long enough to reach, but keep in mind that the cords are designed at that length for a reason.
Ensure that the heater you purchase has one of two features:
- Has an automatic tip-over switch. This safety switch disengages relay for heating elements (turns heaters off). Therefore, if unit tips over onto carpet or other combustible material, unit will automatically shut down and thus prevent a fire.
- Is a ceramic pod-type heater that can be used either horizontally or vertically. Ceramic heaters are also safer because of their resistance to flammable chemicals.
There are several space-heater manufactures that come with removable thermostats; giving you the flexibility to control the temperature from a safe distance.
Oil-filled space heaters are quickly becoming the most popular—for good reason. They are safe, stable and use coated heating elements to heat the oil inside the space heater, similar to a hydronic baseboard heater. They also keep the air more humid; this is very important in dry climates such as Arizona and Colorado. Finally, these heaters heat the oil which maintains some of the heat after the thermostat has shut down the heating elements, thus the residual heat continues to heat the room.
Please remember, space heaters can be an effective means of heating only specific areas within your home or business, but they can be potentially dangerous as well. Always follow ALL safety guidelines to ensure the safety of your patrons or family.
Be safe, be warm, purchase wisely!

Being There When You Need Us
Your building maintenance, repair and service company needs to be available and ready to respond twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and three hundred sixty five days a year. While we would like all of our customers calls to come into our offices between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday through Friday, the reality is that they come in at all times including the middle of the night. It is the middle of the night and weekend calls for refrigeration repair, hvac repair, restaurant repair and general building maintenance that many times are the most critical for our customers.
Commercial property managers, national restaurant chains and commercial property owners rely on eBuilding Service to be there when they need us most. To meet these needs, eBuilding Service uses IP telephony with a custom built Internet phone server supplying redundant backup for emergency calls to our office. On call technicians are not only called from our custom designed phone server, they are emailed as well. To ensure a timely response, we just don’t notify one on call technician, we notify multiple technicians and alert them to make sure that your mission critical restaurant repair, refrigeration service or building repair is not missed even at 3:ooam in the morning on Sunday. All calls to our company are important however, we understand that we can set ourselves apart from the competition with our emergency response reliability and systems.

Mobile Office and Warehouse
At eBuilding Service, we don’t consider our trucks as vehicles, we look at them as mobile office warehouses outfitted with internet, printers, cell phones, GPS and all the tools and parts necessary to perform the HVAC, refrigeration, general maintenance and restaurant repairs, service and preventative maintenance required by our customers.
eBuildingService Truck Cockpit
Putting state of the art vehicles on the road attracts the best technicians in the business. Let’s face it, there are a lot of refrigeration, HVAC/R companies out there. The best technicians demand the best equipment and eBuildingService delivers. The combination of the best technicians, the best equipment, well stocked trucks and efficient operations equates to the best service and value for eBuilding Service customers including property managers, restaurants and commercial building owners. eBuilding’s fleet of Dodge Sprinter vans operate with Mercedes diesel engines for performance, reliability and fuel economy.
Need a copy of your estimate printed on site? No problem for eBuilding Service technicians. Spec sheet for older equipment needed for the repair? No problem for eBuilding Service technicians.

Efficiency
Ebuilding Service strives to be the most efficient HVAC/R, Commercial Property Maintenance and Commercial Restaurant Repair company. Think about it, if your commercial HVAC company charges you $75/hr for service then a two hour job costs the customer $150 for labor only. If that job can be completed 30 minutes faster by eBuilding Service then the effective rate of our competitor is $100/hr rather than $75 because it took an extra half hour to get the job done.
Efficiency in the commercial building maintenance industry is a combination of several items and in particular :
1) Performing the job as quickly as possible while providing quality service
2) Reducing parts runs. Parts runs can take over an hour to get there and back.
EBuildingservice hires the best dispatch staff in the business and provides them with the tools to monitor our technicians in the field on a real time basis. These tools include real time GPS tracking of every service vehicle. Traffic mapping allows our dispatchers to route our techs around traffic hot spots and quickly to our customer’s jobs. If the techs have to go to the parts house, they are routed the fastest way bypassing traffic and reducing time and cost for our customers.
Electronic record keeping is another critical eBuilding Service advantage. Technicians can access previous work orders on equipment (including the previous technician’s notes) from their vehicles 24/7/365 allowing them to see parts numbers including filter sizes for equipment. No driving to the site to get all this information and then back to the parts house. Efficiency is about getting the parts and information ahead of time thus reducing job time and adding value .
Parts usage by our customers is measured part by part, motor by motor and fuse by fuse. The numbers tell us exactly what to stock and when. Having the right parts on hand, at the right time adds value everyday for our commercial building maintenance and commercial restaurant repair customers.
Every eBuilding Service technician is measured daily, weekly and monthly for efficiency to insure value for our customers. eBuilding Service rewards our most efficient techs because they guarantee that our customers receive the best value and pricing every time they call for service , installation and repairs.
