Yep, winter is finally here for most of the U.S and with it comes winter weather problems.<\/p>\n<p>Cold weather means larger intakes of cold air being funneled through your customer\u2019s system(s). If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kele.com\/product\/actuators-and-dampers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dampers<\/a> are damaged, the system will have to work twice as hard, or it will be rendered useless due to system failure. You can pretty much bet that parts will start freezing or malfunctioning as a result. It\u2019s imperative that your customer\u2019s dampers are functioning at 100% at this point.<\/p>\n<p>But heating air and protecting the system relies on more than just the dampers.

Preventative maintenance is your customer\u2019s best bet in keeping the winter weather at bay\u2014so advise them to be proactive rather than reactive.<\/p>\n<p>In case of emergency, outside <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kele.com\/search?keywords=OA%20Dampers&amp;page=1&amp;batchSize=48&amp;sortBy=relevance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">air (OA) dampers<\/a> can and will use actuators to save the day and prevent total system failure in some cases.
