Whether they govern large central systems or smaller supplemental units, automatic controls are incorporated into most of today’s air-conditioning systems.

From the early pneumatic systems through to high-tech digital installations governed on a Web site or via the BacNet platform, Carmichael has continuously invested in training its designers and technicians in the science of these controls. Control systems are not stand-alone; they are integral components of a building’s mechanical equipment and must be designed and maintained as such.

Automatic controls have to be calibrated; their mechanical components – air-flow-control motors, valves and others – have to be inspected; and problems must periodically be addressed and solved.

Carmichael offers maintenance service for automatic control systems of all makes, and design services aimed at integrating automatic controls into thermal systems that lack them.
