AO IT Consulting LLC Cools Down Competition with Smart HVAC Solutions

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – AO IT Consulting LLC, a leading IT solutions provider based in Spokane, Washington, isn’t just about computers and networks anymore. They’re branching out, and they’re bringing serious cool air with them. AO IT Consulting is now offering cutting-edge air conditioning systems designed for businesses, and they’re promising not just comfort, but serious energy savings and smarter building management. You might be thinking, “IT company…air conditioning? What’s going on?” Well, according to AO IT Consulting’s CEO, Mark Johnson, it’s a natural extension of what they already do best: solving complex problems with technology. “We’ve been helping businesses optimize their operations for years using software and networks. HVAC systems are becoming increasingly ‘smart’ – packed with sensors and needing integration with building management systems. That’s our wheelhouse. We see a huge opportunity to make buildings more efficient and comfortable, and we’re bringing our IT expertise to the table." Beyond Just Cooling: A Smarter Approach to HVAC AO IT Consulting isn’t just slapping air conditioners into buildings. They’re offering a complete solution, starting with a thorough assessment of a business’s cooling needs. “Every business is different,” explains Sarah Lee, AO IT’s Head of HVAC Solutions. “A small office has completely different requirements than a data center or a manufacturing facility. We don’t just sell a unit; we design a system that’s perfectly tailored to the space and the people in it.” Their offerings cover a wide range of air conditioning systems, including: Split Systems: The workhorse of commercial cooling – reliable, efficient, and perfect for smaller spaces. AO IT offers high-efficiency models to keep energy bills down. VRF/VRV Systems (Variable Refrigerant Flow/Volume): These systems are ideal for larger buildings or spaces with varying cooling needs. They can direct cooling precisely where it’s needed, saving a ton of energy. “Imagine cooling only the occupied offices, not the empty conference room,” says Lee. “That’s the power of VRF/VRV.” Data Center Cooling: Keeping servers cool is a big challenge. AO IT offers specialized cooling solutions – from precision air conditioning to in-row cooling – to ensure uptime and prevent costly downtime. Packaged Units: All-in-one cooling and heating solutions – great for single-story buildings or rooftop installations. What Sets AO IT Apart? The Smart Integration Okay, lots of companies sell air conditioners. So what makes AO IT different? It’s all about the integration. “We don’t just install the hardware; we connect it to a smart building management system,” explains Johnson. This means: Remote Monitoring & Control: Businesses can monitor and control their air conditioning systems from anywhere with an internet connection. Predictive Maintenance: Sensors in the system constantly monitor performance and alert AO IT to potential problems before they become major issues. “We can identify a failing component and fix it before it causes a breakdown, saving our clients money and downtime,” says Lee. Energy Optimization: The system automatically adjusts cooling based on occupancy, weather conditions, and other factors, minimizing energy waste. Integration with Existing Systems: AO IT can integrate the air conditioning system with existing building automation systems, creating a truly smart and connected environment. Detailed Reporting & Analytics: Clients receive regular reports on energy consumption, system performance, and potential savings. Real-World Benefits for Businesses AO IT Consulting believes their HVAC solutions can deliver significant benefits to businesses, including: Lower Energy Bills: High-efficiency systems and smart controls can dramatically reduce energy consumption. Improved Comfort: Consistent temperature and humidity create a more comfortable and productive work environment. Reduced Downtime: Predictive maintenance minimizes the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs. Increased Asset Life: Properly maintained systems last longer and require fewer replacements.
