Why Your Business Needs EV Charging Stations

Thursday, March 31st, 2022

In the coming years, electric vehicles will make up more than 25% of vehicles on the road. At first glance, this might seem like a small percentage, but in reality it accounts for several million vehicles. While the adoption of electric vehicles grows, now is the time to get into the electric vehicle charging station game.

THE MANY BENEFITS OF EV CHARGING STATIONS

Business owners and property managers alike can reap the benefits when it comes to installing EV chargers. As the sheer number of electric vehicles on the road increases, a business opportunity arises allowing you to fulfill the needs of tenants and customers while drawing them into your business. While the benefits are nearly endless, a few include: 

  1. Keep employees supported by meeting their EV charging needs.
  2. Attract customers who stay longer and spend more time at your business. EV drivers are always looking for somewhere to charge, thus, customers who may have never found your business, are much more likely to stumble upon it when looking for an EV charging station. 
  3. Embrace sustainability. People seek environmentally friendly options – by implementing EV charging stations, you are showcasing your commitment to sustainability and renewables.
  4. Hassle-free revenue from EV drivers – consider the fees from charging as another source of income. 
  5. Ability to tap into government and other incentives provided toward installing EV chargers.
  6. Increase your overall property value.

WHAT NOW? TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE-SOURCE.

Positioned uniquely to support EV charging, Egan Company is your trusted installer and maintenance provider for all things related to EV charging stations. With a full-service advantage, our team has you covered from every angle. To  maintain competitive advantage, choose the Egan team as your commercial EV charging station partner today.

Why Consider Egan’s Ammonia Refrigeration Controls?

Friday, January 28th, 2022

It’s time to streamline your industrial refrigeration process – where should you turn? Egan Company is your resource in designing, installing, and maintaining your next ammonia controls project. 

WHAT IS AMMONIA REFRIGERATION?

Most are familiar with ammonia, the naturally occurring gas combination of nitrogen and hydrogen. Similar to other natural refrigerants (for example: water), ammonia is readily available and harmless to the environment, providing a major advantage in the industrial refrigeration arena. 

The refrigeration process itself looks the same here, simply using ammonia as the refrigerant. Thus, ammonia refrigeration presents an industrial grade option to cool large-scale systems within a variety of facilities,  such as food and beverage processing, cold storage warehouses, or industrial operation. 

WHY CHOOSE AMMONIA REFRIGERATION?

Choosing ammonia refrigeration for your industrial application is not only cost-effective, it’s energy efficient and environmentally conscious (with a global warming and ozone depletion potential of zero). 

If your facility utilizes an industrial refrigeration system, upgrading to one of Egan Company’s ammonia refrigeration control systems will increase your efficiency while decreasing the energy costs associated with commercial refrigeration. Our certified engineers will customize your system to fulfill your specific needs.

SYSTEM FEATURES OF AMMONIA CONTROL SYSTEMS DESIGNED BY EGAN: 

  • Custom control panels fabricated in Egan’s UL 508A Panel Shop
  • A non-proprietary software solution featuring Rockwell hardware and software platforms
  • Control optimization that provides energy and water consumption savings
  • Load sharing
  • Intuitive compressor, condenser, and evaporative defrost sequencing matrices
  • Winter/summer and daytime/nighttime sequence settings
  • Trending and reporting
  • Remote access and monitoring
  • Leak detection
  • Alarming
  • Routine maintenance scheduling
  • System view at a glance

Experience Hands-on Building Systems Training in Technology Center

Tuesday, August 31st, 2021

What pairs best with an efficient technology system? A team that knows how to utilize it – which is why Egan Company is not only an installer, integrator, and service provider, but also our customers’ system educator!

At Egan, we know that our role doesn’t end after installation, but rather it transitions to provide assistance and direction for operating building’s systems. To provide the best training, we open up our Technology Center (where we train our own union trades staff) to offer customers and other groups the chance to learn how to utilize their systems in a controlled setting. By tailoring training curriculum to meet the needs of each groups’ systems, customers leave knowing the ins and outs of their specific applications.

 Within Egan’s Technology Center, many building systems and solutions are on display, including:

  • Fire Alarm System (Notifier)
  • Access Control
  • Intrusion Alarm
  • Video Surveillance
  • Building Automation

The benefits of learning your own system in a real test environment are exponential. With many of these systems, testing and learning a system within a facility is risky and requires off-time. Take building access control systems for example, by learning the system at Egan, facility managers and engineers don’t have to worry about compromising the system or changing the access of everyone within the facility. One step further, if teams are trying to train on the fire detection system at their facility, they run the risk of accidentally evacuating the building when it’s not necessary. By training in our Technology Center, customers can pull the fire alarm without running any risks.

What kind of groups need systems training? The answer is simple: anyone and everyone with a building technology system! From maintenance crews and city fire departments to engineers and architects – Egan Company provides interested customers with systems training that adds value. By choosing Egan, building teams are not only setting up systems, but also themselves for success with in-depth, essential training from the experts.

Request a tour or set up a training session by contacting Vice President of Automation, Technology, and Service, Mark Broadwater.

What Are The Benefits Of A Preventative Maintenance Agreement?

Thursday, August 12th, 2021

A maintenance agreement provides you with the peace of mind that your facility will remain in good working order. By implementing a preventative maintenance plan, a relationship is strengthened between customers and Egan Company as a service provider to complete routine maintenance. 

Preventative maintenance agreements are similar to a vehicle’s oil changes – dependent upon a time or usage interval, you service them to ensure they are working correctly. Changing the oil in a vehicle ensures that it will continue working properly; similarly, preventative maintenance keeps elements of your facility working properly.

BENEFITS OF PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENTS:

  • Preventative maintenance largely increases reliability. By keeping your equipment in good condition, efficiency and lifespan are both improved. Doing so decreases potential unscheduled downtime of equipment, keeping your operations moving.
  • Service agreements also increase long-term cost savings. While the upfront costs may be more expensive, having a preventative maintenance agreement in place will save money in the long run when repairs are needed. Also, costly downtime is decreased as many potential problems are identified and fixed during regular maintenance servicing.
  • In the event of an emergency, customers with maintenance plans are always prioritized and receive immediate attention.
  • Routine maintenance increases workplace safety overall by ensuring that equipment is working correctly.
  • Finally, preventative maintenance agreements assure code compliance and adherence to required inspections

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT VARIETIES:

At Egan Company, our preventative maintenance agreements cater directly to the needs of your facility. With the advantage of multiple union trades under one roof, we are able to provide you with a comprehensive maintenance agreement including:

  • Boilers
  • Building automation systems and energy services
  • Electrical 
  • Fire / life safety inspections
  • Mechanical and HVAC
  • Multi-trade
  • Plumbing and drain cleaning
  • RPZ
  • Security

Look to Egan Company for your preventative maintenance plan. Our expert team will enhance performance, reduce costly downtime, and extend the lifespan of your equipment. Preventative maintenance programs are in place to inspect, test, and replace the products in your facility, keeping building inhabitants safe.
