Services
HVAC Services
We install and maintain commercial HVAC systems ranging from small units to large-scale 600+ ton systems. Our services include indoor air quality assessments, CRAC unit installation, and energy-efficient upgrades. With over 75 years of experience, we ensure optimal climate control for healthcare facilities, data centers, and industrial operations while complying with safety and environmental regulations.
Refrigeration Systems
Our refrigeration solutions cover walk-in coolers, ice plants, and industrial refrigeration warehouses. We design, retrofit, and maintain systems for food processing, seafood facilities, and cold storage operations. Our technicians specialize in ammonia refrigeration, pipe insulation replacement, and compressor repairs to maximize system efficiency and food safety compliance.
Preventative Maintenance
Our CARE Service plans include routine inspections, filter replacements, and equipment diagnostics to prevent breakdowns. Using equipment barcoding and Discovery Sound Technology, we track maintenance history and predict failures. This approach extends equipment lifespan, reduces energy costs by up to 20%, and ensures compliance with OSHA safety standards for commercial facilities.
Thermography
We use infrared thermography to detect electrical faults, insulation gaps, and moisture issues without disrupting operations. This non-invasive method identifies overheating components in server rooms, manufacturing plants, and commercial buildings. By addressing problems proactively, clients reduce insurance premiums and avoid unplanned downtime in critical environments like data centers and food processing facilities.
Design-Build Projects
Our design-build team delivers turnkey mechanical systems from concept to completion. By combining design and construction under one contract, we streamline project timelines by 25% while maintaining quality control. Services include system design, cost analysis, and installation of hydronic systems, chilled water plants, and energy-efficient retrofits for new and existing commercial buildings.
