Mechanical System Renovation
Does your company need to replace a central plant or mechanical systems at the end of their useful life? Find out how EnergyLink can help replace it properly
What's included in a mechanical system renovation?
Energy auditing
An energy audit to assess the current state of your mechanical systems or central plant and find areas for improvement will be conducted.
Option analysis
After an initial energy audit, our team will take multiple approaches to find the best system for your company and break down costs and expected ROI.
General contracting
After you choose your preferred options for the project, our team will design and build each system, acting as your general contractor.
Do you have high deferred maintenance costs?
If your company has old, outdated mechanical systems, it’s likely that you’re paying a lot of deferred maintenance costs to keep them operational. If you have this problem now or are looking to avoid it, a mechanical system renovation is the perfect solution. Both current and long-term maintenance costs can be driven down.
Direct replacement is not enough
When replacing a central plant or mechanical systems that have reached the end of their useful life, the inclination is often to do a direct replacement of current systems; this often leaves the option of getting a system with better payback off the table. Investing in a system that costs slightly more but offers a quick payback period and increased cashflows thereafter is a better solution. In addition, Operations and Management (OM) costs are significantly lower on newer systems.
What improvements are typically made in a mechanical system renovation?
- Replacing old HVAC Rooftop Units (RTUs), furnaces, or split systems
- Replacing old boiler/chiller equipment (compressors, plumbing/pipes, fan coil units)
- Analysis of HVAC zones and thermostats which could be competing with current heating/cooling systems and leaving hot/cold zones
- Dealing with asbestos-covered piping that cannot be removed without adequate containment
- Installing or replacing a pneumatic compressed air system
