A: VRF systems do not need to operate 24/7 to recover from a night setback. With proper configuration, they can recover effectively. However, significant setbacks are not recommended, as VRF systems typically require more time to reach setpoint conditions unless supplemental heating is available.
A: Timelines vary depending on project size and existing infrastructure, but we work closely with your team to ensure minimal disruption and efficient deployment.
A: Not necessarily. We specialize in developing solutions which serve your facilities best. Contact us to assess compatibility and integration options.
A: Early involvement helps streamline system design, reduce change orders, and ensure that the building automation system supports all mechanical, electrical, and operational goals from the start.
A: Absolutely. All of the platforms we offer are scalable and designed to grow with your facility’s needs—whether you’re expanding, remodeling, or adding new technologies.
A: We’ve selected trusted, industry-leading platforms—Automated Logic for HVAC control, Crestron for lighting, Gallagher for security, Hanwha for CCTV, and Edwards for fire alarm—because of their reliability, innovation, and seamless integration with our Building Automation System (BAS). Together, they provide a unified, efficient, and secure building management solution.
Many BAS systems receive initial commissioning after installation, but this process is often limited to a single season. Without ongoing Optimization or Monitoring Based Commissioning (MBCx), system performance can drift over time and lead to inefficiencies.
Faulty or dirty sensors and equipment can cause incorrect control, leading to inefficient operation and increased costs. Failing to implement or maintain proper equipment schedules in the BAS. Without schedules, HVAC and lighting systems often run continuously, even during unoccupied periods. This leads to unnecessary energy consumption, increased wear on equipment, and higher utility costs. Proper scheduling ensures systems operate only when needed, aligning with occupancy patterns and business hours.
A: Some loads (like server rooms or humidity control) need 24/7 operation. Blindly shutting down systems can cause equipment damage or Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) issues.
A: Demand limiting typically adjusts or relaxes setpoints (such as temperature or pressure) and sequences loads to reduce energy use without compromising comfort or system integrity. It rarely involves completely shutting down critical equipment, as that could cause operational issues or occupant discomfort.
A: We primarily serve the Midwest region, including Missouri and Kansas, but we’re open to discussing projects outside this area depending on scope and scale.
A: In some cases, yes. It depends on the type of system you have and whether it’s compatible with our solutions. Please contact us to discuss your specific setup.
A: We offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your systems continue operating smoothly. Our local team is available for troubleshooting, upgrades, and system optimization. We also offer phone support during business hours.
A: Optimal Start logic, which calculates the exact time equipment needs to start so the space is at setpoint when scheduled occupancy begins. This prevents unnecessary early run times and saves energy while maintaining comfort.
A: Our systems are designed for efficiency. With integrated HVAC, lighting, and security controls, you can reduce energy use, improve performance, and meet sustainability goals.
A: We work across a range of industries, including education, government, healthcare, corporate, industrial facilities, and more! Check out our Case Studies for comparable projects.
A: Ideally, we’re brought in during the design phase. This allows us to collaborate closely with mechanical and electrical engineers to ensure consistency, efficiency, and seamless integration across your building systems.
A: A unified BAS reduces energy consumption, simplifies system management, increases occupant comfort, and strengthens building safety through centralized control and real-time data visibility.
A: Absolutely. We specialize in integrating both legacy and third-party systems. Reach out for more information.

The Control Service Company team was comprised of good, knowledgeable professionals who were always willing and available to make adjustments throughout the life of the project. Not only are they more responsive than our former controls contractor, they have a better understanding of facilities operations in general and how their services impact other aspects of a client’s business..
Don Layne, BCBS KC
Operating Engineer
“Over the years CSC has helped solve a myriad of complex HVAC problems at multiple facilities and critical facilities I’ve been involved with. They can handle anything you give them, from small problems to giant projects multimillion dollar projects….you get the same great customer service every time!”
– Kevin Waite- Lead Data Center Engineer at US Bank (LinkedIn)
Our relationship with CSC has been extremely beneficial for Shawnee Mission Medical Center. From what I hear from my peers, it’s a continual struggle with other control companies. With CSC, we don’t have issues. We have a consistent cost basis and they always show up when we call. There’s no other control company I would recommend.
