As we get deeper into the 21st century, the need for more precise control of our
HVAC equipment becomes paramount. In the past, before EPA guidelines, Green
Buildings and energy deregulation, inaccurate control of temperatures and
humidity was acceptable. In this day and age to operate our facilities
correctly, we need to know not only temperature but humidity, carbon dioxide
levels, and have the ability to trend and sample air quality.

Time scheduling is also an important part of efficient operations in an ever
changing work place. The ability for a building to control its own air quality,
operational time and temperature is the way of the future. Direct Digital
Controls has taken the place of manual and pneumatically controlled thermostats
and actuators. Although very modern for its time, pneumatics has issues with
leakage, failures, wide temperature scales and limited expansion capabilities.
With the advances in technology, we are now able to not only determine the
times your system runs but also the temperature, the humidity, the carbon
dioxide levels, the amount of outside air, who used it on Saturday and how much
it should cost them, and even unload itself to save energy.

At United Services, we saw the need to have expert field personnel trained in
all the major brands of digital controls. We started with some of our best
technicians and provided them all the necessary training. This gave them the
variety of knowledge it would require to not only troubleshoot the HVAC
problems, but understand and manipulate the controls accordingly. This
intensive training has benefited our customers by giving us the flexibility to
design and install the systems ourselves. We do not require a third party
contractor for building automation installations.

Our customers have seen the need for these new controls and are currently
benefiting from their efficiency. Due to the fact our customer base is always
moving farther into the future, we have found it necessary to expand our
building automation offerings. We now not only have the ability to design and
install, but also build graphics packages, provide and install updated
software, provide 24 hour monitoring and complete preventative maintenance
packages on their equipment. At United Services, we are dedicated to staying on
the cutting edge of technology.
Keeping your facilities environment comfortable is critical to your company's
reputation. This is why we make it our business to respond quickly, usually
within an hour of your service request.We use sophisticated software, on-site
or by computer modem, to troubleshoot your climate and processing systems. Our
customers can trust that we will keep them abreast of all the new and modern
ways to effectively and efficiently operate their building and facility.
