Here’s an especially touching story from our Comfort and Safety program.

Mark, one of our residential service technicians, went out on a service call for Mrs. Harris, who has ALS.  He found that her system needed to be replaced and it was going to cost more than she could afford.  Mark offered to do the labor for free if James River Air would donate the equipment.  Carrier gave James River a discount on the equipment, and James River in turn donated the equipment and materials.

Mrs. Harris and her family were very appreciative.  They set up an umbrella for him so he wouldn’t be so hot outside.  The daughters also made him fried chicken and a cake!

Mark deserves a big thank you; this was a really kind gesture on his part!  It is nice to know that Mrs. Harris will be comfortable now thanks to Mark and James River Air.

Here’s a picture sent in by our team of residential plumbers of a State tankless water heater.  Our residential and commercial plumbers install tankless models in addition to regular tank water heaters.  Contact us today if you’re interested in learning more!

State Tankless Water Heater Install

Here’s a photo of a water line repair one of our plumbers are working on.   The client’s old copper piping had developed pinhole leaks.  They are on a well and had low water pressure (40 psi).  With the new pex piping, we are able to bump up the pressure to 70 psi.

Here are some pictures from a crane lift performed yesterday at the Westmoreland Street branch of the Richmond Volleyball Club (which is located right behind our building!  Despite the rainy weather, some of the HVAC students from Fortis College stopped by to watch the unit being set.

Seconds count, when a plumbing fitting or pipe breaks loose in your household or business.

Your family members or key business associates need to know where the water shut off valve is for your building.  Shut off valves should be clearly labeled, and checked periodically to ensure they function properly.  Business owners should consider an annual plumbing inspection to check these valves, and inspect key plumbing components as a preventive measure.

James River Air recommends you take a moment to locate your key cut off valves, have them labeled, and educate those you will depend on to minimize the damage by knowing where to cut the water off fast.  It is usually located inside the building right where the water line comes in through the wall or foundation.   If you need help locating this, a professional plumbing contractor, like James River Air Conditioning Company will be happy to assist and test this valve for you.  There are also often small localized shut off valves at sinks & other bathroom fixtures, for a localized solution.

For even faster ability to cut off your water main, and automatic shut of in the case of a large water release, James River Air recommends, and can install an electric water shut off valve.  Contact us today for more information!

Here’s a couple picture snapped by Mary in our office of an installation we did last week for our friends over at Richmond Ford.

We replaced a couple units in their service shop (where we happen to get most of our vehicles serviced!).  Call or e-mail or commercial team to find out what they can do for your company!

Mitch Mitchell, our Commercial Service energy-savings expert, passed along this information on a project of his that we recently completed at the Weinstein JCC.

• As you can see in the Before / After photos, the gym now has much brighter, attractive lighting.
• Footcandle readings at Center Court went from 8 to 42!
• The new lights are also more efficient… they use 55% less energy!
• We were able to capture the latest Dominion Lighting Incentives, which covered 25% of the cost of the project.

If you’re interested in setting up an evaluation of your lighting and discussing the available upgrades and utility incentives, please call us at (804) 358-9333 or fill out our online contact form.
