Data is an abundant resource.
In the HVAC sector, air handlers, chillers, and thermostats often generate a constant stream of information about equipment health and efficiency, while customer emails, website engagement, and field service reports and equipment logs produce a relentless flow of data.
For many companies, this data deluge is overwhelming. Instead of producing precise, actionable intelligence, it’s debilitating.
We are not immune to this challenge. With 42 years of field experience, we have proprietary benchmarks or company data that we can combine with standard industry data to distill clarity from the noise.
It’s not easy. If it were, every company would be doing it.
Today, we are bridging that legacy knowledge with the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). By using AI as a high-level tool to synthesize our historical data, we are doing more with our data than ever before.
Here is how we are putting that technology to work for your facility.
#1 Accelerated Process From Proposal to Project
The traditional bidding process in the HVAC industry is often slow and manual. This can stop work from starting sooner or cause maintenance windows to be missed.
We are changing that by integrating AI into our estimating workflow. This allows us to analyze decades of historical bidding data across various vertical markets to predict potential hurdles and identify opportunities for efficiency before a technician even sets foot on-site.
At the same time, we are doubling down on the human element. We want to empower our teams with virtual admins who handle the heavy lift of data entry and initial takeoffs.
As a result, our incredible team gets to spend more time in the field and engage with our customers.
#2 Interconnected Data that Identifies Risk
Data fragmentation, where information is separated across disparate systems, clouds, and software services, is a structural barrier to real-time visibility.
When your ERP, CRM, and field service management software don’t talk to one another, you lose money. That’s why data silos are one of the most prominent impediments to effective data use.
To solve this, we consolidated our entire technology stack into a single source of truth using Power BI. Now, we have a comprehensive view of our backlog, labor utilization, and service contracts in real-time.
This gives us a new level of accountability.
We can track our preventive maintenance contracts with 100% visibility to ensure we are exactly where we are supposed to be, when we are supposed to be there.
Simply put, the data silos are torn down for good!
For our clients, this means we know how to dispatch our teams more effectively, so the right technician with the right expertise for your system is sent via the most efficient route, reducing your downtime and ensuring service is delivered as efficiently (and cost-effectively!) as possible.
#3 Making Maintenance a Capital Planning Priority
Most facility managers are forced into a reactive cycle, repairing equipment when it breaks, but never benefit from the holistic insights that drive long-term lifecycle value. They are fixing symptoms, not solving problems.
Our data-driven model makes preventive maintenance, which is already more cost-effective and reliable, truly strategic, with predictable maintenance schedules and budgetable costs. We also use historical performance data to identify when a specific asset is nearing the end of its reliable life.
This level of transparency allows you to plan your capital needs years in advance, avoiding the budget-shattering surprises that come with emergency equipment failure.
Data with a Purpose
Data is an abundant resource, but it’s only as good as the decisions it enables. We are investing in AI technologies so our clients get fast answers, better service, and more comprehensive care.
By consolidating our information in one location and applying the right tools, we ensure your facility is managed with the highest level of foresight and intentionality in the industry.
AI-powered HVAC data analytics are making the Thermal difference even more pronounced and impactful for you!
