Are you considering upgrading your HVAC system but debating on the capital expenditure? Is the process of configuring a system upgrade too long of a process right now? You may need the equipment and climate managed now, not in months or longer, yes?
Perhaps you look at you manufacturing or food processing facility and doubt whether you can have a temporary system to help you achieve the same results as a permanent system. Many people are surprised to learn that you can have nearly the same conditions from a rental system. Those conditions can also be delivered in days with temperature or humidity delivered to the specifications you need. Whether you require large industrial dehumidification, commercial-grade cooling or chillers, they can be paired with your system or as a temporary replacement. IDS is the company that helps you configure the system and have it delivered to your facility.
Benefits of Renting a Dehumidifier or Air Conditioner
Sometimes, configuring a new HVAC system and waiting for the equipment to be manufactured, delivered, installed and operational can take months. Before that happens, the budget discussions and approval process can add more time to an already lengthy process. Meanwhile, the operations, maintenance, or quality control teams see daily the effects of an old HVACsystem struggling to maintain its conditions. Rather than waiting for purchasing approval or waiting for the new system while conditions persist, a rental system is your immediate solution. Here are some of the benefits:
- Equipment delivery within days, in most cases
- Cooling or dehumidifiers can meet the tonnage orCFM required
- Processed air entering through temporary or permanent ducting.
- Avoid capital purchases and high dollar expenses with fractional rental costs
- No maintenance or equipment upkeep (we handle the upkeep)
Rental equipment, such as dehumidifiers and air conditioning, can be an affordable alternative, especially when the situation is critical in a food processing plant or manufacturing facility. With a temporary system, you have options to size up or down based on the conditions or needs and remove the equipment on a seasonal basis. The cost savings versus a newly installed system is considerable and, in many instances, preferred, especially if capital is tight.
In addition to meeting conditions and having flexibility on sizes, the service component is a major advantage. If there are issues with equipment or routine maintenance is required, IDS will handle the upkeep, which keeps you free of the concern – and costs – of managing the equipment on rent. As an equipment provider who handles emergency service, our team is available 24/7 and will respond to equipment needs whenever they happen, helping to maintain the conditions that you want and need to keep your facility operating at peak performance.
How Can You Save With Dehumidifier and Cooling Rentals?
A dehumidifier or air conditioning rental can positively impact operations in many ways. As the adage goes, “Time is money.” If you are experiencing issues now that impact day-to-day operations, maintaining conditions is key, since you’re probably losing money every day that conditions remain unstable. Rental equipment is delivered quickly and can have the conditions under control quickly, regaining a profitable operational schedule. If you are currently experiencing moisture or temperature-related delays, IDS may be able to address them tomorrow. In other words, if a climate issue currently impacts your production, your bottom line is impacted, and we can help get you back to producing and profitable again quickly.
Quick Fix
Even if you need a dehumidifier or AC unit for a week or two, you can have a single piece delivered or a complete temporary climate control package (this could include temporary power and a full cooling and dehumidification system). IDS is often approached when someone’s permanent fails or is under repair and needs equipment for a short while. You can’t simply close down operations for two to three weeks waiting on repairs.
Seasonal Climate Control
During the coldest days of winter, the hottest months or the typical time of year when humidity is worst, rather than face a massive expenditure for a system upgrade that is used seasonally, many manufacturers or production centers turn to a temporary, seasonal rental to address moisture or climate issues for a few months a year. In many instances, our customers will have their mechanical contractor install a permanent ducting connection to the building, and our dehumidifier or cooling units will be connected each year during these peak months and then sealed for the remainder of the year. Despite some companies’ ability to upgrade their permanent system, they choose to take the temporary rental route for many of the already addressed reasons, such as convenience and cost savings on capital expenditure.
Stopping Lost Revenue
If materials, production, or sales are reduced or completely stopped because of an HVAC- related issue, clearly a rental solution is worth it to generate income. Providing the ability for a business to interrupt is the ultimate savings in this instance. When conditions prevent a food, manufacturing, or pharmaceutical facility from producing products, there is a rental solution to keep your business operating and generating revenue.
Summary
Whatever your facility’s situation regarding climate controls, turn to IDS to assess and offer a potential temporary solution. If icing or condensation is developing, machinery is jamming from clumping, or your materials are becoming damaged from moisture or temperature, we have helped others and can improve your situation. As you’ve read, various equipment options exist, including cooling, heating, dehumidification, and chillers. These rental pieces can often replicate your permanent system and provide the conditions to keep your business operating. If you need anything or would like to know more, contact IDS today.
