A: LMS has worked on many sizes of homes and depending on the size of your intended home can provide many options. We have provided the following table as a guideline, but we also provide design build, which can accommodate a number of systems depending on your wants and needs.

NOTE: all of the above systems and house sizes can be controlled by standard or DDC control with remote monitoring and servicing and all of the large homes can be a/c with furnaces or geothermal

Q: What can we control with the control package you provide? And how is it controlled?

A: Depending on what equipment you or we together think is critical, we can set up to alarm when the unit is no longer operating within the parameters we set. Upon receiving an emailed alarm from the system, LMS or our client can dial into their home system and investigate the alarm and potentially reset the unit remotely.

Q: What equipment can be reset remotely?

A: Again, depending on the equipment, we can investigate if it is able to be re-set remotely. Currently we have Variable Speed Drives that can cycle off during a power surges or spikes and LMS is able to reset these drives remotely. We had a client call us on a one of the hottest days in August on a Sunday as they went into the office and found the heat incredible (this client did not opt for alarming). They contacted us and we connected to their systems and starting the unit back up. The office was cool before anyone arrived Monday morning – all from our backyard!
Heatpumps can also be very temperamental until they have been “dialed in” to the customer’s wants or needs. These units can “trip off” fairly frequently in the first few months of service. LMS is able to re-start units remotely, saving significant service calls.

Q: What is your preferred product to supply?

A: LMS is primarily a YORK dealer and relies on their superior quality for most of his new installations. We are able to service any equipment manufacturer’s units including, but not limited to:
Carrier, Lennox, Keeprite, Trane,

Q: What is your specialty and why should we choose your company?

A: LMS is a family owned business that has been around for over twenty years. We are constantly upgrading our skills to provide the best service possible to our clients. We are a “one stop shop” meaning we do everything in house, including sheet metal, and most importantly computer controls and programming. Your system controls will be written by an LMS HVAC technician, not a contracted computer technician untrained in the abilities of the mechanical equipment. LMS knows what is required, the capabilities of the equipment and the ability to write the program to run it to meet our customer’s needs. We can also provide 24 hour monitoring.
LMS is also capable of design build offering hydronic, furnace or geothermal heating. We specialize in “that problem area” no one has been able to fix. Give us that chance and see how we do!

Q: Your web site says to can maintain ice rinks? What is required?

A: LMS has retro-fit a steel horse barn into an ice rink. Equipment included was floor heat below the ice surface from the boiler system that also heats the ice hall and the change rooms. Air conditioning was installed so the customer could use the building in the summer as well. The ice was frozen with Trane chillers and the entire system was monitored remotely. We were able to maintain ice for our client in the middle of August with extreme outdoor temperatures.

Q: What type of system do you use for a greenhouse?

A: Again, floor heat from a boiler system is preferable and constant without any blowing air onto the plants. For added efficiency we can heat the pool, melt the snow on the drive and walk-ways as well as heat the greenhouse all from the same unit. We design based on our customer’s needs.
