The Utter Usefulness of Portable AC Units

Portable air conditioning units that are for commercial use go far beyond what a typical AC can do. With the greater size and capacity of this equipment, companies that need cool air in a location, whether large or small, can get it with no hassle.

Construction

These units can regulate the temperature of large structures that are under construction, keeping work crews cool until the structure's own HVAC system is installed and goes online.

Helping Existing Units Along

Portable air conditioners also serve to bolster malfunctioning units in a building that is occupied or otherwise in use. These convenient units can replace all of the main system's cooling capacity or just take over for units that are awaiting repair. HVAC installation and repair companies regularly rent large air conditioners out to keep public buildings, such as hospitals and retail establishments, operating normally while existing systems are repaired or replaced.

Emergency Situations

Emergency situations and disaster recovery are additional uses for portable AC units. After a natural disaster has caused damage to existing systems, portable units are brought in to keep critical structures functioning. Hospitals, schools, rescue shelters, and government and other important buildings benefit from portable air conditioning systems, which have their own power generating capability. Some emergency power generators for structures do not have the capacity to replace or supplement all of the units in the building. A self-contained portable AC system takes the burden off of a structure's emergency power generation capability.

The Basics

Portable AC systems can cool anything from a school auditorium to a large multi-floor building. The systems are self-contained and can generate their own power or be connected to a functioning power grid. The cooling capacity is flexible and based on the size of the structure, the number of floors, and the ambient temperature. Systems are caged in steel structures designed for loading and off-loading by delivery trucks, are rugged, and are specifically engineered for use at construction sites and during disasters and emergencies.

No matter what companies need portable AC units for, they can accomplish it by renting or purchasing this useful equipment. Whether a school air conditioner has broken or a construction crew needs a site cooled, there is no limit to the types of jobs that commercial ACs can do.

Dehumidifier Rental Helps Businesses Breathe Easy

Dehumidifiers serve several different purposes, depending upon the industry in which they are used. Oftentimes, employers purchase humidifiers to make the workplace more comfortable for employees and customers. In the case of small companies and businesses, the locations would not require large dehumidifiers and inexpensive units could be found with an HVAC provider.

For commercial construction projects, humidity can warp wooden materials, prevent efficient paint application, and make conditions unpleasant for workers. Furthermore, many large manufacturing plants require specific climate controls for the creation of the product; thus, dehumidifiers are often necessities for businesses. Many entrepreneurs and managers even insist upon having a backup unit in case of a failure, so that operations can continue smoothly until the original is repaired.

Unfortunately, a unit that has the capability to service a large construction project, office building or an entire manufacturing plant would be expensive to purchase. Many businesses simply do not have the available capital to buy something of that magnitude outright; if they do, then it is inefficient to purchase a second as a backup. For this reason, dehumidifier rental is the most viable option for many companies. In case of failure, a rental allows the business to function normally while the first is broken. When the original unit is repaired, the backup rental can be returned.

At Carrier Rentals, we do not only provide units to rent--we also provide the services necessary to make those units effective. These services include professional advice about what type of unit will suit a client's needs, expert assistance with setup and breakdown, and constant customer support throughout the process. In short, we make dehumidifier rental easy and efficient for our customers, allowing them to continue to operate successfully for their own customers.

Generator Rental as Free-Market Disaster Relief

In an emergency like a natural disaster, the primary impact of the storm is certainly deadly, but the secondary effects like loss of power and damaged infrastructure can sometimes be even more destructive. After a disaster like Hurricane Sandy, hundreds of thousands of people could be left without power. The loss of power does not simply deprive individual businesses and households of a luxury; it cripples the economy's ability to function properly. In our world, everything requires electricity, and the complex distribution of goods and services breaks down without it.

For this reason, there is a dramatic increase in the demand for generators that can function in the wake of a disaster; however, most businesses fail to prepare ahead of time or do not have the funds to do so, and thus the supply of generators is not adequate to the post-disaster demand. This leads to a shortage of generators, which will inevitably lead to higher prices. Oftentimes, these generators are unaffordable to all but a few.

Generator rental can be a good solution to the difficulty. Rentals provide businesses with incentive to transport generators from unaffected areas, but it does not force the people affected to purchase something that they will likely only need for a few days. There is a free market harmony of interest in this situation: entrepreneurs discover the most efficient way to transport these generators, businesses make a profit, and those affected by disaster have power. Society can slowly return to normality.

Rentals are perhaps one of the most overlooked solutions with regards to disaster relief. Many politicians focus on either FEMA or price ceilings as methods for dealing with catastrophic events--yet, FEMA can be augmented by free-market cooperation. Furthermore, price ceilings lead to fair distribution of goods but discourage the free-market allocation of generators from unaffected areas to the affected. Generator rentals provide a better alternative than price gouging, but a more efficient one than simple price ceilings. In short, disaster relief demands that there be more generators than normal, but there must be sufficient incentive to get them there. These incentives cannot come at the expense of the affected and generator rental provides this solution.

Heater Rentals Keep Construction Workers Out of the Cold

As colder weather hits, many construction companies face working conditions that are almost debilitating. The cold weather lowers the morale of the workers, freezes necessary materials like paint and caulking, and makes a construction site office a very hard place to do business in. No construction worker can focus on their job when out in extreme temperatures without a warm place to take a lunch break and thaw their hands. The best employers know the value of a properly heated working environment and will invest in it to keep their workers productive and their business thriving.

Providing a warm place for employees can pay off in the long run, as it boosts morale and keeps the climate from affecting construction materials. How can one conduct business in an office that feels like a meat locker? It is counterproductive for employees to work on blueprints and logistics and try to take accurate measurements when they are too busy fighting off frostbite. How accurate would those measurements be? While installing an entire heating system for a temporary work setting is not practical, renting one is. By renting a system that can be easily set up and used, businesses can ensure that workers can turn their full attention to doing their jobs and not be distracted by their discomfort.

We offer heater rental options for temporary locations like construction sites so that companies can function normally, no matter what the weather. While most people only think of portable air conditioning options, we having portable heating that can be used for everything from small offices to outdoor work spaces.

We can provide reliable, portable heating to construction sites for a reasonable cost. Contact us today with any questions about our many services here at Carrier Rentals.
