Extreme Innovation: New B.I.G. Bi-level, Extreme Weather Security Booths Redefine Border Security

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 21, 2011

Working with experts in the security field, including the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, Jacob Engineering, and Parsons Engineering, B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc.(http://www.bigbooth.com) recently manufactured and delivered a series of bi-level, extreme weather booths to U.S. Canadian border check points. Prior to this recent delivery, similar booths have been delivered to the U.S. Mexican border.

This booth is situated inside a large enclosure where trucks and other vehicles can be inspected thoroughly despite grueling weather. The bi-level booth is unique: it facilitates ground level, visual inspection of vehicles, and gives guards access to upper portions of commercial trucks and containers via an interior stairway leading to an elevated section. Thus, security personnel have a truly a top-down perspective a distinct advantage.

When it comes to border security, guard booths and vehicle inspection strategies are a first line of defense. Security personnel, including agents from DHS and CBP, need facilities that allow them to function effectively in harsh climatic conditions, while giving them a physical advantage over potential threats. These security structures and control centers must be fabricated from the best materials, and incorporate correctly-sized HVAC systems for adequate climate management. These booths must be configuration-friendly as they must house monitors, duress buttons, communication and surveillance equipment.

The B.I.G. bi-level units are fully-fabricated and ready to install, they have a high level of ballistics resistance, high-output roof-mounted HVAC systems, backup heat, and heated floor mats for severe winter weather. They also contain an extensive electrical infrastructure. The conduits, junction boxes, and other components support a flexible array of alarm, camera and communication equipment. Pre-wiring makes installation a snap. Punishing environmental conditions are no match for these innovative, bi-level booths.

B.I.G. Enterprises is pleased to add the bi-level, extreme weather booth to its fabrication arsenal. B.I.G. guard shelters meet the exacting demands of regulatory agencies, security directors, and facilities managers.

About B.I.G. Enterprises:

Since 1963, B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc. of California has engineered and manufactured a comprehensive line of high quality, high-end, prefabricated security and revenue control booths. Their state-of-the-art selection of pre-assembled buildings include guardhouses, cashier booths, portable shelters, and a variety of custom-made kiosks.

Energy-Efficient Guard Shelter Solutions: Shelters and Guard Booths from B.I.G. Enterprises Meet New Stringent State Requirements

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 29, 2011

When a major university needed truly custom, energy-compliant guard booths, they recently turned to B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc.(http://www.bigbooth.com) for a solution. Not only did B.I.G. designs meet Californias strict energy efficiency standards, B.I.G. is also the only pre-fab guard booth manufacturer to currently meet state of Washington energy conservation standards, which are the most restrictive in the country.

The booths are sensitive to the surrounding architecture, meet all state building and energy codes, comply with ADA access requirements, have high-output HVAC systems, and include a restroom. In addition, the exterior design incorporates architectural overhangs and stainless steel turnbuckles. Wall panels were prepped for a custom finish. The interior has solid surface counters, ergonomically efficient working areas, stylish lighting, and pre-wiring for data and communications systems.

Their high-end quality attests to the fact that factory-built, pre-fabricated designs look great, and perform as well as site-built structures, while helping control costs.

As guard booths and shelters are structures that are used every day, they need to be fabricated from the best materials, have exterior and interior finishes that will endure, posses the best window and door hardware available, and incorporate correctly-sized HVAC systems to maximize energy efficiency. Guard booths must also be considered from an aesthetic perspective; they serve as security checkpoints, and also as visual statements that define the image of the facility, in this case, a major university.

B.I.G. booths, shelters, and security command centers are tough, innovative, and enduring. They are easy to install, and are significantly sound. They provide a platform for creativity, security, and maximum flexibility.

Kenmark Air Cooling & Heating Partners With Award Winning Patented Aeroseal Technology For Groundbreaking Duct Repair Solutions In Southwest Florida

Fort Myers, FL (PRWEB) December 19, 2011

Kenmark Air Cooling & Heating of Southwest Florida is proud to announce the inclusion of the patented Aeroseal duct sealing technology as a fast and cost effective method for lowering utility costs, saving energy and improving indoor air quality for homeowners in Southwest Florida. Kenmarks Aeroseal of SWFL is a cutting edge process that tackles leaks in air duct systems and seals them through a computer-controlled injection of aerosol mist particles. The technology was developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and funded by the U.S. Environmental protection agency, U.S. Department of Energy (http://www.energy.gov), the Electric Power Research Institute, and California Institute of Energy and Environment with efforts to potentially save Americans an estimated $ 5 billion a year on cooling and heating costs. The cutting edge duct sealant process puts escaping air under pressure and causes the mist to stick first to the edges of a leak, then to each other until the leak is closed. Its ability to seal leaky air ducts is saving homeowners up to $ 850 per year on their home energy bills.

Aeroseal was selected as one of this years best new home products in This Old House magazines Top 100 Best New Products awards. The process also won the Best of Whats New award from Popular Science magazine, and the Energy 100 award from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). As stated by Aeroseal.com, The DOE also rated the Aeroseal duct sealing process as one of the 23 most beneficial technologies available to American consumers that has come out since the agency was created.

Duct leaks are not a do-it-yourself project. They can be hard to find or costly to seal with older or conventional, less effective methods other than the Aeroseal process. We are here to educate homeowners and help them improve the cost-effectiveness of their HVAC system, says Ken McDaniel, President of Kenmark Air. If your energy bills seem high, your home is dusty, the rooms in your house are different temperatures or the quality of your indoor air is poor; studies show that the Aeroseal duct sealing process is the most effective solution for combating these problems and plays a critical role in saving energy and money in your home or office, McDaniel concludes.

For more information about Aeroseal technology solutions, call Kenmark Air at (239) 437-7040 or visit http://www.KenmarkAir.com. Kenmark Air is located at 5811 Country Lakes Drive, Fort Myers FL 33905

So. San Francisco Furnace Repair Company, Peninsula Heating By James Byrne Offers Some Tips on Keeping a Heating and Cooling System in Good Shape

So. San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) December 15, 2011

So. San Francisco furnace repair company, Peninsula Heating By James Byrne offers a few handy tip on why maintenance is very important to keeping a heating and cooling system running correctly and running for a long time.

When it comes to heating equipment maintenance and repairs to your home or business heating system, it does not pay to procrastinate, says Patricia Bryne of Peninsula Heating By James Byrne. The longer you put off the maintenance, the higher the probability that your heating system will break down or your heating and cooling contractor will be unable to make an emergency repair when you need it.

A routine maintenance check should be either done by the homeowner or scheduled and be completed by the experienced and professional folks at Peninsula Heating By James Byrne. It is important that if a homeowner attempts the work on their own, they should have some experience working with heating and cooling units.

Peninsula Heating By James Byrne offers service agreements in which they will come to a home or business once or twice per year to inspect a furnace and/or air conditioner. Service agreements are a comfort, especially when faced with the prospect of waking up in the middle of a cold winter night to a freezing home. During the coldest days, service techs of companies without a service agreement in place can often take many days to respond.

Routine fall maintenance will switch on and inspect all equipment. Running a heating system early will help to find any problems before it becomes a major problem for the residents of the home. If one is doing the check on their own, they should check fan belts, the pilot light, humidifier and media pad. It is important to know the age of the furnace because older ones often have a pilot light that is on at all times while newer models light themselves when the furnace kicks on.

For an oil heat system, people are encouraged to change fuel filters and service burners if needed and check the fuel tank for water content and fill it, if needed. Forced air systems should have their grills removed and be cleaned out by vacuum. On older forced air systems, the entire duct work should be cleaned every couple of years. Inspect flue pipe for blockages, leaks, holes and make sure vent cap is in place on roof.

For air conditioners, it is important to clean the outside unit of a central air unit and clear any debris, leaves and other items. For wall-mounted units, if it is possible, the best course of action is to remove it and store safely away for the winter. At the very least, close the vents and cover with an air conditioner cover.

For more information on Peninsula Heating By James Byrne or to inquire about their latest coupons and specials, call 650-763-1016 or visit them online at http://www.peninsulaheating1954.com. They are located at 513 Linden Avenue South in San Francisco. They always offer free estimates and can provide off-hours appointments, such as after 6 p.m. and weekends.

Berkeys BAM Plan Puts Air Conditioning Service, Plumbing Service on Auto Pilot

Southlake, TX (PRWEB) February 21, 2011

Berkeys Air Conditioning and Plumbing has put air conditioning service on auto pilot with the new BAM, Berkeys Automatic Maintenance plan. For $ 99 per year homeowners in Berkeys Dallas/Fort Worth service area get annual tune ups on all air conditioning and heating systems no matter how many central air systems their homes have and a plumbing service tune up, as well.

Berkeys Automatic Maintenance plan saves homeowners hundreds of dollars each year they maintain BAM membership, with features that include:

Central air conditioning service tune ups in spring all systems
Central heating tune ups in fall all systems
Plumbing service tune up each year includes checks for water and gas leaks
Automatic scheduling Berkeys contacts members to schedule visits
Preferred scheduling priority scheduling in case of plumbing, heating or AC emergency, including nights, weekends and holidays
Preferred pricing discounted pricing on parts and labor
10-year membership option at 70% discount
Lifetime warranties on garbage disposals, water heaters and toilets Berkeys installs, when membership is maintained continuously.

Berkeys president Bill Stevens said the company has been perfecting the comprehensive maintenance plan concept for several years. BAM is the most all-inclusive form of the concept, based on years of client input and refinements.

We pioneered this concept to deliver incredible value to our clients and help them get more years of service from their air conditioning and heating equipment, Stevens said. As a result, we develop long-term relationships with homeowners who count on us to keep their homes safe and comfortable.

Stevens said central air and heating systems will run at top efficiency if people keep them in good condition by getting annual tune ups. However, many people run their equipment for years without even an air conditioning service call. BAM, with its low price and automatic scheduling, makes it easy for clients to stay on top of the situation.

People who have our BAM maintenance plan save money in two ways: lower utility bills and longer service life for equipment, Stevens said. And we include a plumbing service tune up, for the same flat price, something we havent seen anyone else do. The membership benefits are fantastic.

Berkeys clients have, on average, three central cooling and heating systems in their homes. Separately priced air conditioning and heater tune ups, at the market rate of $ 79 for each system, would cost $ 474. Add in a plumbing tune up and the cost goes to $ 553. At $ 99, BAM saves clients $ 454 in the cost of tune ups alone.

BAM Website

Because of the unusually comprehensive nature of BAM Berkeys has developed a separate website to help people better understand the plans full value. Website visitors also may sign up at the site to become a BAM member.
