Being a project manager comes with a long list of responsibilities. You’re in charge of overseeing nearly every part of the project, and it can certainly get overwhelming. Making difficult decisions is part of the job. However, deciding between renting and buying equipment shouldn’t be too difficult. There are many benefits to renting, which can save you and your company a pretty penny. When you start your next project, consider rental services to keep both heat levels and construction costs low.
So, to clear any doubt in your head, here are a few misconceptions regarding renting versus buying that you should know about.
The Rates on Hvac Rentals or a Rental Air Conditioner is Out of My Budget
When renting various pieces of equipment, it makes sense to consider your budget. Initially, you may think that paying the everyday rental rates for an HVAC unit is too expensive and won’t add up.
However, you’ll be glad to learn that HVAC rentals offer a cost-effective solution for your long or short-term construction projects. Renting takes many factors into consideration, including the construction dates, the area requiring temporary heating or cooling, and the available power at the site. All these factors contribute to the final cost, allowing you to walk away with a reasonable and customizable quote.
Renting Equipment Takes Up Too Much Time
It does not take long to call CHI and say that you “need a temporary cooling unit for my warehouse.” Before you know it, an air conditioner can be sized, delivered and operated in your warehouse or building. Renting an HVAC system may save you time, especially in terms of production times and output. According to research conducted at Cornell University, studies have shown that worker productivity is enhanced when the temperature is set at 71.6 degrees Fahrenheit. If there is no maintained climate in the warehouse or on the job site, perhaps productivity and output are reduced – how much does that cost you?
If purchasing is out of the question, consider renting a unit to keep productivity levels high.
What if the Rental Breaks?
It may be easy to think of rentals as unreliable. After all, it’s not your unit. However, rest assured that you will always be in good hands. If your unit isn’t working properly, contact CHI, and our service team will immediately address the situation. Customer service is at the heart of our business, and we back that up through action, as evidenced by the number of clients who return to CHI for cooling, heating, and temporary HVAC needs.
Conclusion
As a project manager, you have many responsibilities and duties. One of the biggest is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your workers and ensuring the business can stay operational. Don’t keep debating whether to utilize an HVAC rental for temporary cooling; the answer is clear.
Though there are several misconceptions surrounding the renting process, throw those out the window. This is one of the best decisions you can make for your employees’ time efficiency and productivity.
