5 Ways Portable Air Conditioning Improves Industrial Environments

Portable Air Conditioner Rental Indianapolis IN

Five Benefits of Portable Cooling for Commercial and Industrial Work Environments

High temperatures, heat, and humidity in a factory or industrial setting can dramatically affect the productivity and efficiency of your employee work force.  The source can be seasonal climate, industrial processes, equipment failure, or a combination of these and other factors. Portable air conditioner rentals are used for temporary spot cooling and also offer long-term mobile cooling solutions.

Here are five applications where the use of portable air conditioning, spot coolers, and mobile cooling equipment rental can increase the comfort of a work environment and allow your associates to be more efficient:

1.    Increase Productivity by Providing Cool Work Stations.  It’s a fact: heat is exhausting to workers and they are less productive when operating in hot and humid conditions. Mobile air conditioner rentals allow companies to provide cool air directly for their personnel and work areas.
2.    Temporarily Cool an Area.  Some places in a factory or commercial building are either designed to be very warm or are by their nature extremely hot. When it’s time for workers to do maintenance or temporarily work in such an environment, mobile cooling equipment allows them to work comfortably. Another application is directing cooled air onto an assembly line so that a heated part can be handled more quickly.
3.    Create a Cool “Oasis.” Creating an air conditioned room where employees can go to recharge and get a reprieve from a warm working station builds morale, and allows a chance to really relax and decompress.
4.    Electronics and Computer Server Room Cooling. Electronics which are an integral part of control rooms and computer server rooms requires cooling to not only protect the equipment, but to optimize its operating efficiency and extend its lifespan.
5.    Increase Employee Morale and Company Loyalty: Supplying comfortable cool air to otherwise uncomfortable work environments is a win-win proposition. Not only are employees more productive, they are glad that company management understands the comfort of their work station is important.

In a commercial or industrial setting, cooling is best facilitated with a focused, targeted mindset. Unlike cooling a home, you’re cooling a specific person, area or manufactured part. Keeping this in mind will help your business adapt to summer heat and humidity changes with increased efficiency.

Audio Visual Electronic Rentals in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana

Over the past year its been exciting to watch how fast RentItToday.com’s electronic rental, audio & visual rental, and computer rental categories have grown. Today’s customer spotlight article features one of Rent It Today’s newest electronic rental company partners, Temporary Technology. Temporary Technology provides just about any type of audio, visual, and electronic equipment rental imaginable and services all of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Whether you need to rent electronic equipment for seminars, equipment failures, special projects, seasonal peak loads, traveling, meetings, sales presentations, conventions, trade shows, or training sessions, Temporary Technology has everything a business or individual needs!

Audio Visual Computer Electronic Rentals in OH, KY, INThe computer rental industry came into existence during the mid 1980s.  Although still a viable service, it became a commodity of sorts over the last decade as PC purchase prices steadily declined.  Conversely, the audiovisual rental industry is much older and better established.  With the exception of a few lower end items, AV equipment is not subject to the same “commodity mentality” as most computer equipment.  In addition, obsolescence plays a much smaller role in the AV industry than it does in the computer industry.  In spite of the AV rental industry having a longer and more consistent history as well as a brighter long-term outlook, the demand for computer generated presentation equipment continues to increase. Temporary Technology is a company well positioned to take full advantage of the convergence of these two high-tech industries and offers a full line of electronic equipment rentals.

Projector RentalsTemporary Technology (TTI) provides professional audio visual and computer rental services to the corporate, educational, government and convention & tradeshow markets. The company’s primary inventory consists of projectors, sound systems, Plasma and LCD displays, interactive touch-screen computer kiosks, laptop and desktop PCs and peripherals.  Most rentals from TTI include delivery, installation and 24/7 on call service from well-trained technology professionals.

To better service the changing needs of its client base, Temporary Technology began to re-invent itself in 2003. A vision for the future was created and plans for its systematic implementation were made.  Over the course of the next several months, the company recruited and hired professionals with significant audiovisual industry experience.  The decision to shift the company’s focus from computer rental to Audio Visual rental required a significant number of internal changes at TTI.

Audio Visual Electronic Equipment Rental

Over the last eight years Temporary Technology has reached its goal of becoming a significant player in the Midwest AV rental industry.  TTI has handled everything from a one-hour flipchart rental to a 2-week convention with a large General Session and breakout rooms that used 370 PCs and 1,250 wireless headsets. TTI is not just another computer rental company pretending to be an AV company. Temporary Technology offers a unique combination of quality PC rentals with true audiovisual expertise.

But TTI understands that equipment alone does not enable it to meet the needs of its clients. From an operation’s standpoint, Temporary Technology’s primary goal is to provide a level of service that consistently exceeds customer expectations, ultimately providing the best “value” in the AV rental industry.

There is no doubt that the technology rental industry is ever changing.  And TTI tries to adjust to these changes at just the right time.  The company strives to improve its operation by analyzing its strengths and weaknesses on a regular basis.  But no matter how much the industry may change, the company’s core values remain the same.  To that end, all Temporary Technology staff members follow three basic rules:

1.    Do your best.
2.    Do what is right.
3.    Treat others as you want to be treated.

The executive management team at Temporary Technology believes that following these three simple rules has been an instrumental part of its success over the past 25 years!

Rental Property Still A Safe Bet In Indianapolis, Indiana

Indianapolis, Indiana Rental Real Estate Market

In today’s unsteady economy many investors are looking for a safe place for their money to land that not only has a potential for an increase in equity but also has a possible cash flow – so as a result a natural choice is real estate in the Indianapolis Indiana market.  Real estate purchased in a down economy is ideal and is how many current wealthy individuals have decided to successfully invest over the years.

The old adage of “Buy Low and Sell High” couldn’t be more true in today’s real estate market.  However, contrary to a couple of years ago in order to achieve this realization investors must be willing to hold onto their investments and wait out this down economy.  In the meantime you will need the help of a qualified and professional property management company.

Whether you have one or 100 single-family rental homes or an apartment complex, I can’t stress enough the importance of a property manager in the success of a rental property.  It is very important to find a property manager that understands your long-term real estate investment plan.

It is very easy to find anyone that will help you rent a house in Indianapolis for a fee.  It is much more difficult to find a competent and experienced management company that understands the importance of cash flow analysis as well as the importance of maintaining your real estate investment asset/portfolio as a whole.  Maintaining your real estate investment includes effectively marketing your property, qualifying applicants, effective rent collection techniques,  tenant retention  as well as assisting you in understanding the need to complete certain maintenance items or even large capitalized expenses in order to ensure the longevity of your real estate asset.

Indianapolis Rental Property Management SolutionsAs it relates to maintaining your real estate investment you will want to make sure you find a management company that shares the same philosophy that you do.  If your philosophy is to hold off on maintenance as long as possible to keep costs down vs. a more proactive approach to both short-term and long-term maintenance issues this is important to understand upfront.

I find that many people don’t take the appropriate amount of time to truly prepare for the financial responsibilities of being a property owner rather than a property occupant.   I find that people often don’t consider all of the associated costs – property taxes, insurance, utilities while is it unoccupied, lawn care, mortgage payment, simple and large maintenance issues and any bookkeeping and accounting work.

As it relates to maintenance items obviously this is directly linked to the age and quality of the home.  However, you need to be sure that you are appropriately accruing for both normal wear and tear as well as larger capital improvements such as a new roof or water heater.  It is easy to not think about a roof on a home you are not occupying, but you will quickly remember when you have to cut a check to a roofer.

I truly believe that investing in real estate in Indianapolis Indiana is a “No Brainer” however you need to be
smart and make sure that you surround yourself with a team that will help you navigate the real estate market so that you can achieve both your short-term and long-term goals.  A team that will help you from the beginning in the identification of the right real estate property investment scouting and purchase, rehab of the property, marketing, tenant screening, tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance and bookkeeping.

Indianapolis Home Rentals Featuring Silver Property Managment

This article, featuring an Indianapolis property management company, brings Rent It Today back to its roots:  Home Rentals.  As mentioned before on this blog, Rent It Today originally launched its website marketing residential houses for rent in the midwest.  Today’s customer spotlight article features Silver Property Management.

Indianapolis, Indiana - Home Rentals in Indianapolis

Silver Property Management Inc. is a full service property management company, specializing in home rentals, in The Indianapolis Metro Area.  If you are interested in a house for rent in Indianapolis (or a condo, townhome, or apartment to call home), contact Silver Property Management, www.spmIndy.com.  Lisa Andrews, owner and true real estate professional, provided a very informative article about the Indianapolis rental market, Silver Property Management, and its affiliate companies…

Silver Property Management Logo - Indianapolis Home RentalsAs a native and life-long resident of Indianapolis Indiana one of the things that I have grown to appreciate the most about this city are its hard working down-to-earth friendly residents and the expected stability of life.

Don’t get me wrong, the hit that the nation has felt to the economy are felt here as well.  The downward turn in the economy, which resulted in a record number of home foreclosures, was the trigger point for the other owners of Silver Property Management, Inc. and I to get involved in the real estate market – and we haven’t slowed down yet.

In 2004 the owners of Silver Property Management began picking up single family homes in the Indianapolis area.  Contrary to many investors, we sought out to find those projects that required more than paint and carpet as we understood that the true value was in the homes that other investors wouldn’t dream of bidding on that were in strong residential areas.  From 2004 through today the owners have gathered a portfolio of over 100 single family homes, two commercial buildings and 2 apartment buildings with a total of 133 units.

Often people will ask – why Indianapolis?

  • Indianapolis is ranked as one of the country’s top markets for return on rental properties

-Forbes Aug. 2009

  • Indianapolis ranked 6th on list of “Best Cities for Jobs.”

Chief Executive Magazine, Jan. /Feb. 2009

For these and many other reasons this is why our roots are in the Indianapolis real estate market.

Over the years, as our portfolio grew, so did our knowledge of what it takes to run a successful rental property.  In 2008 it was a natural transition to start to offer what had previously only been offered to our own portfolio to new outside investors.

Silver Property Management and its affiliated company Silver Realty are dedicated to helping current and future property owners to better locate, manage, and build their real estate portfolio.  We maintain a full-time staff of well-trained industry professionals who continually strive to provide top quality service, coupled with the highest level of integrity to ensure unprecedented customer satisfaction and support.  Silver Realty brings the knowledge and expertise required for locating and evaluating viable investment properties.  Silver Property Management provides the highest quality of property rehabilitation, tenant placement, retention, and management at some of the most competitive prices in the business.  We have the unique ability to offer a synergy of services working together to promote a successful real estate investing environment for both novice and seasoned investors.
