THE PROPRIETARY CONTROL TRAP

Jul 05, 2022

The Proprietary Control Trap

The Problem:

 

  • Do you have limited access to your Chiller Plant Controls?


  • Are you paying too much for call outs?

 

  • Fed up with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) controlling the competition by installing Closed Protocol Sequencers?

 

  • Do you have several HVAC Control Systems that can’t communicate to each other?

 

The Solution:

 

JSA Service can provide a simpler and more professional solution to replace existing control set ups that are traditionally represented by the multinational manufactures - which we believe should belong to the end user and responsibility allowed to all who are technically permitted.

 

JSA Service custom software designed controls, enable you to have full power of your HVAC/R equipment in one managed control system, fully optimised by experienced engineers in thermal / precision comfort and best-case efficiency solutions.

 

Background:

 

In most cases, a large OEM HVAC/R system installation will also be supplied with the associated sequencers to maximise on the sale. Offering intuitive real-time management to reduce energy costs and increase efficiency, whilst balancing hours for efficient operation to reduce wear and tear and prevent future breakdowns – but what happens when your equipment fails, and you’re restricted by the manufacturer for support and spares? Which often results in a £750-£1000 callout and a couple of clicks later, it’s working again. Sound familiar?

 

It then becomes clear that the OEMs closed protocol stand-alone system, which has no compatibility with any other manufacture’s components, becomes an expensive burden due to the lack of ongoing competition. Time also shows that even the OEMs don’t have the best of coverage due to the circumstances.

 

JSA Service can supply open-protocol controls that support multiple manufactures, which can also be accessed via various routes and the choice when choosing a service provider is allocated by you, the end user - ultimately driving down costs due to widening the competition. JSA Service’s telephone assistance means we can also offer advice directly over the phone to prevent time and money wastage, and our 24-hour call out service, 7 days a week means we can get your critical equipment fixed and back up and running quickly.

 

Our staff here at JSA Service have the training, software knowledge and site experience to modify software to be specific to certain installed configurations. At JSA Service, our HVAC Control Panels feature custom turnkey solutions designed to provide a solid protection package which allows a combination of different devices and equipment, all communicating over a local or larger network.

 

Conclusion:

 

It’s simple, by using a HVAC Control System that are not governed by the OEM will provide a wide range of benefits, including:

 

  • Multiple manufacturers for support and spares.
  • Products from multiple manufacturers.
  • Access system for updates via various routes.
  • The ability to add equipment to the system with any install company.
  • Password availability when desired.
  • Choice when choosing a service provider. Anyone can be appointed.
  • Inexpensive to own due to large competition base of installers.
  • No exploitation by OEMs

Full Turnkey HVAC Projects
26 Sep, 2023
A Full Turnkey HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) Project offers several significant benefits for commercial clients. Here are some of the key advantages: Single-Point Responsibility: With a full turnkey project, you have a single point of contact responsible for the entire project, from design to installation and ongoing maintenance. This simplifies project management, reduces communication challenges, and streamlines accountability. Cost Efficiency: Turnkey projects often result in cost savings due to economies of scale. The project manager can negotiate better deals with suppliers, optimize resource allocation, and minimize costly delays. Faster Project Completion: The streamlined process of a turnkey project typically leads to quicker project completion. Since the project team is integrated and works cohesively, there are fewer delays and bottlenecks. Quality Assurance: The project manager oversees all aspects of the project, ensuring that quality standards are met at every stage. This reduces the risk of defects or subpar workmanship. Reduced Risk: By entrusting the project to a single experienced contractor, clients can minimize their exposure to risk. The contractor assumes responsibility for managing unexpected issues, such as design changes or unforeseen construction challenges. Customised Solutions: A full turnkey project allows for tailored HVAC solutions that meet the specific needs of the client. The design, equipment selection, and installation are all customized to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency. Simplified Communication: Clients don't have to coordinate between multiple contractors, which can be complex and time-consuming. Instead, they can communicate directly with the project manager, ensuring clarity and efficiency. Energy Efficiency: HVAC experts can design and install systems that are highly energy-efficient, resulting in lower long-term operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint. Compliance and Regulations: The project manager is responsible for ensuring that all necessary permits and regulations are adhered to, reducing the risk of non-compliance issues. Maintenance and Support: Many full turnkey HVAC projects include ongoing maintenance and support contracts. This ensures that the HVAC system continues to operate efficiently over its lifespan, reducing downtime and repair costs. Peace of Mind: Clients can have peace of mind knowing that their HVAC project is in the hands of professionals who have the expertise and experience to deliver a successful outcome. In summary, a Full Turnkey HVAC Project offers convenience, cost-efficiency, and quality assurance. It simplifies the process for clients while providing them with customised, energy-efficient HVAC solutions that meet their specific needs and compliance requirements. It's a comprehensive approach that ensures a successful and hassle-free HVAC installation and operation.
