OTHER MELINK T&B SERVICES 30-60 Day Recheck: One of our most popular services! The purpose of the recheck is to revisit your store after it has opened to verify that the punch list from our original T&B report has been addressed, as well as to inquire about any comfort or performance problems the store manager might be having. This service holds contractors more accountable and saves construction time and money. List Price = 0.4 x [(64 x A/C Tons) + (0.27 x Exhaust CFM) + 1230] (Based on flexible scheduling when Melink is already in the area) Total Rebalance: Another classic Melink service! A total rebalance ensures that existing store HVAC systems that have not been balanced by Melink in more than three years are still operating at peak efficiency. Over time, building pressure can become negative, hood capture can become weak, hot and cold spots can develop in the dining room, and Operations can start to receive high energy bills and customer complaints. This service saves Facilities time, complaints, and money. (Unless Melink performed the original T&B, in which case the price is reduced to 0.9 x Total HVAC Test & Balance Price) Partial Rebalance: When Facilities decides to replace older A/C rooftop units with new units on several stores or to replace older exhaust fans serving the hoods, many chains turn to Melink to test and balance their new equipment. Are fan rotations correct? Are they under- or over-supplying airflow? Are they pulling excessive motor amps? Are the outside air dampers set properly? Any other concerns? Call Melink. (Enter only the A/C Tons and/or Exhaust CFM being considered in the partial rebalance) Problem Investigation: When Operations has a specific problem at a store and does not want to pay for a normal balance, what do you do? Call Melink. Whether it is a building pressure, hood capture, or comfort complaint, we will focus our efforts on correcting just the problem at hand. List Price = (Number of Hours x $150) + Travel Cost Water Balance: If you re building stores inside malls or multi-story buildings, you will typically need your HVAC systems water balanced as well. Let Melink adjust the hot and chilled water flows to each of your air handlers to ensure optimal system performance. List Price = 0.48 x [(64 x A/C Tons) + (0.27 x Exhaust CFM) + 1230] (Based on flexible scheduling when Melink is already in the area) Melink Corporation (513) 527-7020 271-1615 www.melinkcorp.com
OTHER MELINK T&B SERVICES Maintenance Audit: What happens when Operations is paying its local HVAC service companies a fair amount for preventive maintenance, yet Facilities keeps getting calls about HVAC problems? Melink can determine whether you are getting a quality PM service or a just a bill of goods. An independent audit of 5 to 10% of stores could save you money. List Price = 0.25 x [(64 x A/C Tons) + (0.27 x Exhaust CFM) + 1230] (Based on flexible scheduling when Melink is already in the area) Michigan Health Inspection: What would you do if Construction is getting ready to turn over a store to Operations, and then the Michigan health inspector changes your plans? Melink makes an emergency trip to help the inspector retest the hoods and get your CO. Save time and money by scheduling a revisit on the date of inspection. List Price = (Number of Hours x $150) + Travel Cost Short-Circuit Hood Rebalance: Experts agree that short-circuit hoods no longer make sense with recent code changes. There is no need to exhaust 4000 CFM and supply 2500 CFM when you could simply exhaust 1500 CFM and accomplish the same thing. This poses a tremendous opportunity to reduce operating costs at stores with shortcircuit hoods. Let us turn off supply fans and slow down exhaust fans to provide you immediate savings! (Based on purchasing & installing new pulleys and rebalancing store exhaust & outside air quantities) Smoke Detector Testing: More and more inspectors are requiring verification that the A/C unit smoke detectors have been tested and are operating within the manufacturer s specifications. Have Melink perform this cost-effective service at the same time the T&B is being performed. It eliminates last-minute delays in turning over your stores to Operations when all the required paperwork is provided. List Price = (Number of Hours x $150) + Travel Cost
CONSULT-LINK SERVICES Survey & Recommendations: If your Architect is converting an old store into a new concept and needs help with the existing HVAC system, let Melink survey the equipment and determine its capabilities to see what can be saved and what needs replacement. Eliminate doubt and future problems with Melink s recommendations. Design Review: What should you do if you feel your Engineer does a good job but want a second opinion about the mechanical design of your latest prototype? What if you want to explore new ways of reducing construction and operating costs while make your store more comfortable at the same time? Call Melink and let us provide you fresh thinking and innovative ideas. Our engineering expertise and field knowledge will save you money. List Price = $2,950 x Number of mechanical sheets to review Data Logging & Trend Analysis: Information is power so Melink offers a monitoring service where temperature and/or humidity problems in your stores can be analyzed for optimal solution. List Price = (Number of Hours x $150) + (Number of Loggers x $125) + Travel Cost
