Happy Labor Day !!!

Labor Day typically signals the end of summer with a 3 day weekend, camping, picnics and the start of the college football season.

We can put work on hold for a few days and focus on the reasons that we work in the first place.

With fall on the way and cooler temperatures right around the corner, don't forget that there are many ways to maintain a comfortable working environment in your warehouse or distribution center without breaking the bank.

Dock seals, high speed roll up doors and HVLS fans can maintain optimum temperatures without the need for heating or air conditioning in some cases.

And as the days grow shorter, high efficiency T-5 lighting can replace your old metal halide lights and provide more light, instant on start up (no warm up time) and offer up to 50% reduction in your power bill...(really). Also, some states or local municipalities are offering rebates for reductions in kilowatts used. Lower your utility bill and get a rebate check as well. Not a bad deal.

Thanks for reading and please call if you have any questions.

Now that Summer is almost upon us, thoughts turn to warm weather and the great outdoors. Unfortunately it also means hot indoor temperatures and bugs in some areas.

Here are three ideas sure to help you keep your cool this summer.

#1 Replace or install dock seals. This one of the easiest ways to keep any cool air you already have inside your building. It's also an effective barrier against bugs and the occasional rain you might get with a thunderstorm.

#2 HVLS Fans (High Volume, Low Speed)

These over-sized ceiling fans keep air moving and circulating throughout your facility. Did you know that there can be as much as a 30 degree temperature difference between the floor level of your warehouse and your ceiling ?

By keeping the air circulating, your whole warehouse may feel up to 15 degrees cooler.

These fans also work great in the Winter too by redistributing the warn air up in the rafters. It's been proven to help lower your heating bills.

#3 Flexible Bug Resistant Screen Dock Doors

These doors offer a great solution by allowing you to keep your dock doors open, thus allowing the breeze to blow through while keeping bugs and any other junk out of your warehouse. These doors operate like most overhead dock doors, however, they are completely independent of your existing dock doors.

They are simple to install too.

Well, there you have it. 3 simple solutions to keep your cool this Summer.

If you need any other ideas or if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. 775-857-3003

Did you know that an "HVLS" (High Volume, Low Speed) fan can make your warehouse or distribution center feel as much as 20 degrees cooler in the summer time ? These fans actually pay for themselves overnight with reduced air conditioning costs and increased employee comforts levels. Also, in the winter time, you can recapture the hot air rising into your ceilings and help heat your facility without turning on the heater.

It really works.

Please call if you would like any further info.

Did you know that mezzanines are a great way to take advantage of existing space at a fraction of the cost of trying to acquire additional space. A mezzanine can effectively double your square footage by about 100% if planned properly and at a cost of as little as about $25.00 per square foot.

Still don't believe me ? Give me a call and I'll explain it to you.

Winter is here. A great way to keep the winter weather where it belongs, outside, is to replace worn out dock seals. Not only will they help control heating costs but they will also keep you products and your forklift operators dry as they shuttle products into and out of trailers.

They are simple, easy to replace and they are not as expensive as you think. Next time you hear your warehouse heaters kick on....think about your dock seals.

Advice is always free. Just give me a call. 775-857-3003

Did you know that many opportunites to reduce operational costs are right under your nose ?

I many instances, reducing costs is not a complicated thing. Typically, the more involved, the greater the reduction. However, simple fixes or changes in habitual ways of doing things can add up to big dollar savings and make you look like a star to senior management. Replacing worn out dock seals may not sound too glamorous, but can add up to big heating and cooling savings. Not to mention the added security feature of loss prevention or inventory shrinkage prevention.  Also, replacing your metal halide lights with high efficiency T-5 lighting is a great way to slash your power bill by about 50% and provide a better lit work place. Customer testimonials say it all in regards to T-5 lighting.

If you'd like more ideas on simple money saving tactics or if you need to turbo charge your distribution center to take it to the next level of efficiency and cost reductions, please give me a call.
