Panic bars or crash bars, as they are sometimes known, is a spring loaded metal bar that unlatches a door when pushed. They are installed on doors opening to the outside. They can be locked so that someone can go out but not come back in. OSHA requires a continuous and unobstructed path of exit to a place of safety and panic bars is the answer. Some have alarms on them so that the owner of the building know when someone has exited the building using a particular door, whether they are trying to steal something or trying to get not pay a tab.
Having properly working panic bars is vital to the safety of business owners as well as to employees and customers. There are laws in place to make sure people can safely leave your establishment.
The panic or push bar was invented because of a disaster at Victoria Hall in June of 1883. 183 children, aged between 3 and 14, were crushed to death in a stampede for the stage when free toys were offered. The disaster is the worst of its kind in British history.

LED (Light emitting diode) lamps typically use less watts per unit of light which can cut down on your electric bill. LEDs are illuminated solely by the movement of electrons in a semiconductor material. They do not have a filament like incandescent light bulbs.
Wall packs are the lights on the outside of your building that hang on the outside wall. They consist of a cast aluminum housing, ballast compartment, lamp chamber and a glass refractor lens to spread the light. Most use metal halide light bulbs. If you changed the halide light out with a LED bulb, you can save money.
Let say you have 10 wall packs that are 170 watts each, that means you are burning 1700 watts per hour.
With 20 watt LEDs, you are burning 200 watts of the same amount of light.
* SAVING 1500 watts per hour on an 8 hour night
* You save 12,000 watts per night,
* You save 84,000 watts per week,
*You save 4,368,000 watts per year.
That’s right 4 million 378 thousand watts per year saving. You are saving 88.2% between the halide and the LED light bulbs.
They also:
* have less green house gas emissions from power plants
* can decrease the danger of getting burnt,
* are less a fire hazard because they generate less heat,
* last longer, so you buy less often and less go to the landfills.
Say hello to extra money by saying hello LEDs.
Let Leinbach Services help you save money by replacing your old wall packs.

During the warmer months we all deal with too much humidity, but in the winter we have too little.

Here are  some interesting information on humidifier for your home and business.

Leinbach Services Inc. can install a humidifier in your heating system

Humidifier
Do you suffer from dry skin, a scratchy throat, or lots of static electricity? You may have a problem with low humidity. When you run the heat in the winter you begin to reduce the humidity level. Listed below are some common problems associated with dry air:
•Your skin can feel dry and scratchy.
•Your nasal passages can dry out; making you more susceptible to colds or the flu.
•Static electricity is a direct result of dry air.
•Hardwood floors can separate at the seams when the air is extremely dry as they lose moisture and contract.
•Houseplants suffer.
•Wallpaper can peel at the edges.
The solution to low humidity in the winter is to purchase or have a humidifier installed. A humidifier is a machine that adds humidity to the air. During heating season, the relative humidity indoors can get as low as 13% or lower. The desirable level of humidity is 30-35%. Humidifier come in a variety of designs, from floor and table models, to furnace/heat pump mounted units. Furnace/heat pump mounted units can be by-pass, steam, mist, wick, and powered. Some can be mounted in the duct work while others can attached to the furnace/heat pump. Installing a humidifier is an easy job if you’re replacing your furnace, but you can also have a humidifier fitted to your current system.

You must watch that you do not add too much humidity to your home or business! Some indicators that the humidity levels are too high are: frequent fogging of windows, moisture build-up or mold on closet walls or room ceilings and walls.

You can have a  humidifier mounted in your furnace. With flow-through humidifiers you don’t have to worry about possible bacteria growing in the reservoir’s standing water which can cause illness or humidifier fever. This type of humidifier will send moisture to all areas of your house.  It is connected to a water supply so you don’t have to fill it.

Leinbach Services Inc. can install a humidifier in your heating system.

Warm Moist Air Vs. Cool Moist Air
Warm air humidifiers use a heating element to heat the water. These humidifiers can use more electricity but, it is usually no more than boiling a kettle. They can also make the air feel “muggy” if they are overused. Cool air humidifiers do not heat the water so, there is no risk of getting burnt and are safer to use around children. These units can use less electricity, can humidify a larger area, and do not make the air feel “muggy”. They do have a couple of disadvantages: they are generally noisier than warm air units and some require regular filter replacement.

There are 2 kinds of warm air humidifiers:

Steam/Vaporizer
These boil the water and send it out as steam and as a result mold and bacteria are killed during the boiling. There is a risk of burns and dangers with children.

Warm Mist
These are similar to the steam units in that the water is heated to make it evaporate. These units cool the air slightly before releasing it therefore reducing the chance of burns.

There are 3 kinds of cool air humidifiers:

Evaporation Wick
A wick or filter is used to absorb water and is then evaporated by a fan. This is a more natural form of evaporation. As the humidity of the air increases, the evaporation rate will naturally slow, making these units, to a large extent, self-regulating. One disadvantage is the persistent noise of a fan blowing. Some people find this bothersome but, some prefer it! They say the sound is relaxing, and even that it helps them sleep.

Impeller
A spinning disk in the water is what creates the mist. This process is generally a lot quieter than a fan.

Ultrasonic
These units are a more modern design; they use ultrasonic sound waves to vibrate the water and create a mist. They can be very efficient and almost silent to the human ear.

Don’t let you house be added to the 53,ooo that the Electrical Safety Foundation International says that are destroyed by electrical fires each year.

Your breaker box or panel should be inspected for loose wiring at least every 2 years. The electrical vibration on the terminals will loosen the wires making it a fire hazard. This is more prevalent with older systems.

There are several signs that your box needs to be upgraded:

1. Is your panel full?
2. Are you adding a big appliance like a  new refrigerator, or replacing a heat pump?
3. Do your breaker constantly trip?
4. Do your fuses blow constantly?
5. Do your lights flicker when you air conditioner or other large appliance kick on?
6. Do your light bulbs burn out quickly?
7. Are  you adding an addition to your home?

Automatic door closers add convenience for your patrons and employees. It allows them to enter and exit your building comfortably and conveniently. Automatic closers also help lower your utility bill by making sure the door closes.
A door closer is a device that controls the speed of a door opening and closing. A series of values control the speed of hydraulic fluid passing from one reservoir to another regulating a spring tension. It also controls the swing speed and latching speed. Different closers have different features. Some have back check adjustments, latching speed controls, and delay action.
Back check adjusts how easily the door opens and prevents the door from being flung wide open suddenly. Latching speed is when the door is fully shut this feature makes sure the door latches securely. The delay action allows the door to close steadily to allow time to enter and eliminates the need to pull the door shut after closing.
In the case of automatic door closers, paying a higher price for a quality closer could save time in less need of repair, and longer life especially if it is a heavily used door. When purchasing one, there are several factors to consider. First, how much door traffic do you have? Automatic door closers are labeled as to how much traffic they can endure before being replaced. Second, select one that has several features like back check adjustments, latching speed controls, and delay action.

Leinbach Services Inc. can repair and install door closers. We have locations in Kingsport, Johnson City, Bristol TN and Abingdon, VA.
