ESS maintains, repairs and installs the electrical and mechanical systems of large and medium commercial and industrial buildings across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Here they are, grouped the way they sit in a building. If you already know what you need, send us the details.
A red square marks the systems a building has to be able to rely on in an emergency.
The ones that cannot wait
The two systems a building is required to trust in a fire: the alarm panel that detects and calls it, and the pump that holds pressure in the standpipes.
Fire systems fail quietly. A trouble signal stays latched, the backup battery in the panel dies, a pump controller is left in manual. Nobody notices until the day the system is needed.
Standby generators, transfer switching and the building's electrical distribution, kept ready for the outage rather than discovered during it.
Starting batteries weaken, stored fuel goes stale, and a transfer switch that is never exercised can stick on the day of the outage. Loose terminations run hot long before they trip.
Cameras, door and vehicle access, tele-entry and intercoms: the electronic security that decides who gets into the building and records what happens there.
A camera can stop recording, a card reader can drop offline, a gate operator can stall. The usual discovery is the moment someone asks for the footage.
They rarely make a building stop in one moment. They cost it money, comfort and equipment life a little at a time, which is exactly what steady preventive maintenance is for.
HVAC Air Conditioning, Energy Management Systems
Commercial air conditioning and the energy management controls that run it, maintained to cut consumption and extend equipment life. Coils clog with salt air and dust, filters load up, and schedules in the controls drift until units run all night. It shows on the electric bill before it shows as a breakdown.
Water Pumps, Exhaust and Ventilation Fans
Booster pumps that keep water moving to every floor, and the exhaust and ventilation fans that keep plant rooms, garages and kitchens breathing. Pump seals and bearings wear, pressure tanks lose their charge, fan belts slip. Water pressure on the upper floors and stale air in a garage are how it announces itself.
Solar and Wind Energy
Rooftop solar arrays, inverters and small wind turbines, maintained so the generation you paid for keeps showing up on the meter. Panels soil, connections corrode and inverters fault without a sound, so output slips while everything looks fine from the ground. After a storm, racking and wiring deserve a look before the array is trusted again.
Fire pump or door reader, the work follows one pattern, because the point is the same: fewer failures, shorter downtime, less money lost.

Emergencies, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
For planned work, tell us what the building runs on and when it was last looked at. We will set up an inspection and a maintenance plan around it.
