Salina Surgical Hospital

When you perform more than 8,000 medical procedures a year, you fully understand the importance of maintaining specific temperatures and humidity levels in operating suites. Troy Nickel, plant engineer at Salina Surgical Hospital in Salina, KS, knows all about this – he’s the person in charge of the equipment heating and cooling the facility.

Nickel has relied on Kansas Trane Service for more than 10 years now to help him service and maintain the Trane rooftops, chillers, and blower and fan coil units heating and cooling his 30,000 square foot facility. Salina Surgical performs 12 surgical specialties in four operating rooms. In addition, it has two endoscopy treatment rooms, one treatment/triage room and 16 in-patient beds.

“Kansas Trane does complete service and repair on our chillers, boilers, and steam humidifiers,” Nickel says. “Kansas Trane has highly-trained technicians. You can always count on them to be there when you need them and to do a great job from service work and repairs to educating on site. I also like the fact that they hold training classes throughout the year that anyone can attend. We can count on our equipment to have almost zero failure under the Kansas Trane service contracts.”
