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:

1. 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.
2. 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!

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.

Need to research and print a previous work order from over a year ago? No problem for eBuilding Service technicians as they are in their office and their warehouse while in your parking lot. All added together, it means less travel time, fewer parts runs, and reduced costs for our customers.

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.
