Helping Create Unique Homes at the Axis Building Hampton

Axis Buidling Hampton KitchenHotboys had a big part in the conversion of an existing space into the The AXIS building Hampton. It is the newest apartment community located in Peninsula Town Center in Hampton, Virginia. The 23 architectural loft-style apartments have been move-in ready since April 24, 2017. The apartments are available with 1 or 2 bedrooms as well as a studio model.

No two apartments are alike!

Every unit has its own individual style and flair for you to choose from. There’s one to suit every personality.

All of the apartments in the AXIS building are cat and dog friendly. Bring your furry friends with you too!

The sleek and functional layout is highlighted by glossy wood and muted tile flooring. It’s enhanced with stainless steel appliances. All units are cable and high speed internet ready. They also come with a dishwasher, trash compactor and a full range stove with exhaust fans.

The floor to ceiling windows allow for fantastic views of Peninsula Town Center itself and many of the apartments offer views of the newly installed playground and park. The windows highlight the vaulted ceilings, giving each loft a bright and airy feel.

Efficient Roof Top Systems

Let’s not forget about the 28 efficient HVAC roof top systems that Hotboys installed. We featured a modern look for our exposed spiral ductwork in every unit. We love showing off our ductwork skills. We enjoyed our time at Peninsula Town Center and look forward to our future projects there.

Joining the AXIS family means that you will have access to their club house and fitness center. Every Saturday, the property management office offers what they call “Breakfast on the Go” in the club house. It doesn’t get any better than that! Tenants living in the AXIS building also have 2 free parking spots assigned for each unit.

The AXIS building is located at 2581 McMenamin Street in Hampton. You can take a tour of these luxury apartments between the hours of 8am-4pm. Take a tour today and make your home base right in the center of it all!

Loyalty to Rite Aid in Willow Oaks

Rite Aid Store in Willow Oaks area of Hampton, VirginiaHave you taken advantage of Rite Aid’s new Plenti rewards program? We were glad to be introduced to their new loyalty program after we completed work at the newest Rite Aid location in the Willow Oaks area off Fox Hill Road in Hampton, Virginia.

Rite Aid relocated from its long-serving location in the Willow Oaks Shopping Center to a block away. The new facility Hotboys helped build offers Express Checkout Pharmacy and 24 hour prescription services in a spacious 15,000 square foot store.  We installed four massive, ultra-efficient air conditioning systems on the roof of the new Hampton Rite Aid store.

The new Rite Aid is beautifully decorated and has an efficient and thoughtfully created floor plan. The large floor plan makes it convenient to buy fresh milk, eggs or cheese at the same time as picking up prescriptions.   To make your trip to the store more convenient, Rite Aid carries a myriad of household items like cleaning supplies, paper towels, and snacks.

The new Rite Aid also houses a GNC section in their stores, adding to the benefits of their one stop offerings.

All  items purchased can earn you points under their amazing new Plenti reward program.  Plenti can be used at various partner companies as well, unlike the old loyalty card they used to have.

We love the fact that Rite Aid has really stepped up to bring its customers what they need with this new facility and upgrade to their new Plenti Rewards Program.

Hotboys design team was able to implement state of the art technology to bring the new Hampton Rite Aid on the cutting edge of energy efficiency and comfort.  The scope of this 3 million dollar project really allowed Hotboys to shine and show our strengths of all of the facets of our commercial division crews. We hope you stop by and check out this new facility and take advantage of the Plenti rewards program today.

Building Three New Target Optical Centers

Target Optical Centers with Hotboys TruckTarget’s New Optical Centers placed Hotboys in their vison for the HVAC work at 3 of their brand new vision centers:

  • Target Newport News in the Yoder Plaza shopping center
  • Target Glen Allen in the Brook Hollow Shopping Center and
  • Target Williamsburg at Monticello Marketplace.

Julie St. Louis from Groom Construction requested a mechanical contractor that had the ability to mobilize swiftly to accommodate the needs of this scope of work. Because Hotboys is so efficient in our commercial HVAC division, we were able to immediately begin construction.

From design to implementation, we were able to wrap the projects up at all three locations within 30 days. Bay Electric was also a crucial part in the launch of these new optical centers.

We are excited about the addition of optical centers to Target stores. Now you can go straight to your favorite Target store and get designer frames and contact lenses in the same trip as your usual household run.

As you are aware, Target’s clothing and accessories lines provide customers with high end look and feel without the pain of the high end price. Their fresh grocery department has some of the finest produce from different parts of the world. All this and now an optical department too!

The cool thing about the Target optical center is you can get an appointment same day and work with some of the areas most recognized optometrists. The new optical centers accept most insurance cards and are conveniently located in the front of Target stores with an outside entrance for your private consultation with a top optometrist.

You’ll be pleased to find top name brands like Rayban, Accuvue, Biotrue, Bausch and Lomb, Focus, Mossimo, and Vogue. They also offer designer frames from Andrewandrew, a Target exclusive. They have self-help on the Target Optical website and you can even live chat with a representative. Your purchase is backed by a 90 day unconditional guarantee. They have many great specials running right now in their new optical departments such as 25% a complete pair of sunglasses or eyeglasses. Stop in and check them out today.

Why Won’t My Heat Pump Reach Temperature

Virginia Beach Heat PumpBrrrr  . . . it’s really cold outside.  In Virginia Beach and the rest of Hampton Roads, when outdoor temperatures drop below 35 degrees, our heat pumps run more.  But especially during the rare times when temperature approach 0 degrees, our heat pumps don’t seem to be able to keep up with the loss of heat in the home.

Let’s say you set your thermostat at 70 degrees, but your heat pump doesn’t seem to get above 68 degrees.  As long as it’s not dropping many degrees below the thermostat temperature (in this case 70 degrees), the cause is probably the extremely cold weather not your heat pump.

Here are some signs that you may need to bring in an HVAC professional:

Something is Different

Your HVAC system can seem to be working, but have times where it’s just acting differently.  Any irregularities could be a sign that you should call your HVAC repair professional in to check things out. Catching problems sooner, rather than later is an important component of keeping your HVAC system working optimally and can save you money in the long run.  An inefficient system may require more electricity or gas.
