Local considerations in Boston

  • Winter snow and freezing temperatures make snow and ice management, heating checks and pipe-freeze prevention part of the program.
  • Seasonal start-ups for heating in the fall and cooling in the spring keep equipment ready before demand peaks.
  • Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.
