I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but we have had a horrible time with temperature control. First of all, our HVAC contractor deleted the supply air in the back room, and the supply and return air in the bar area. Those areas have drywall ceilings instead of ceiling grid, per health code. Our contractor did not feel like climbing up on top of the ceiling to work, so they skipped those items. We have a very large commercial refrigerator and a commercial freezer, along with a cooktop and a convection oven in the back room. With zero air flow, it would get over 90 degrees back there with all of the heat generating components.
Secondly, we have three roof top units for our space. One is fairly new, but two are over 15 years old and seize up all of the time (pretty much daily).
The solutions:
I had our HVAC contractor come back and install an AC supply in the backroom, and an AC supply over the bar area. Both areas are open to the cafe, so no returns were necessary. It has made a huge difference!
After having an AC technician here everyday and sometimes twice a day for a week, our property manager has decided to replace two of our RTU's! They will be installed tomorrow morning! Woo Hoo! No more working in the absurd heat!
Gotta run,
JD
