Heating Systems Factory

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What is a skid-mounted heating system?

• A: It's a complete heating system—including the heater, pumps, valves, piping, and controls—all mounted on a structural steel skid. It's a self-contained unit that is easy to transport and install.

• Q: What is Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)?

• A: A FAT is a test where we operate the complete system at our factory before shipping. You or your representative are often invited to witness the test to ensure it meets all performance criteria.

• Q: Can you build a control panel to match my company's standards?

• A: Yes, we can build control panels to your exact specifications, including your preferred PLC/HMI brand, component standards, wiring color codes, and documentation format.

• Q: Is it more expensive to buy a complete system?

• A: While the upfront cost may be higher, the total cost of ownership is often lower due to reduced installation labor, fewer errors, and single-source support, which minimizes downtime.

• Q: Can you integrate our specified components (e.g., Siemens PLC) into the system?

• A: Absolutely. We frequently build systems using client-specified components to ensure compatibility with their existing maintenance and spare parts inventory.

• Q: What kind of support do you provide after installation?

• A> We provide comprehensive documentation, on-site commissioning (if requested), and ongoing remote technical support to ensure your system continues to operate reliably.

• Q: Do you design the mechanical and piping aspects as well?

• A: Yes, our engineering team includes mechanical and piping designers who handle the complete system layout, stress analysis, and piping design.

• Q: How is a large system shipped?

• A> Large systems are typically shipped in an ocean container or as a dedicated LTL (less-than-truckload) shipment. They are fully crated and protected for the journey.
