When to Hire a Mechanical Engineer
There are three instances where the knowledge and skill of a highly trained mechanical engineer are required for your commercial property. These include:
- Prior to breaking ground on a new location
- During the construction of your commercial building
- When your building requires renovations or upgrades
Understanding HVAC System Design
The quality of an HVAC design determines the functional ability of the system. An HVAC system must be custom sized to your space. A precise distribution system is needed to maintain a stable, cool, and conditioned air temperature throughout the building. The design is also linked to efficiency, as a low-grade HVAC will result in more power utilization and higher energy costs.
Prior to Breaking Ground
Mechanical systems can influence the design of your structure. Our leading mechanical engineers work to incorporate your HVAC system into your building’s plans. By working with a mechanical engineer prior to breaking ground, you solidify a design that accommodates heating, air conditioning, and ventilation, reducing the hassle that may arise if you try to include an HVAC system once building plans have been finalized.
During Construction
Construction plans are subject to change. When a construction plan is altered mid-project, the design of your HVAC system may need to be re-evaluated. Working with a reliable mechanical engineer eases the process of rearranging construction plans through open communication while maintaining code and safety requirements.
Renovation or Replacement
At some point, your building’s HVAC system may require renovation or replacement. When regular wear and tear start affecting its performance, our specialists are available to repair, replace, or renovate your HVAC system, ensuring its functionality is restored and maintaining a comfortable temperature in your building.
Installing Commercial HVAC Systems
Once we’ve perfected the design of your commercial HVAC system, we will bring it to life with expert installation, guaranteeing a high-performance unit. Our HVAC specialists will then carefully install your system, ensuring optimal efficiency. From concept to completion, our professionals take pride in our ability to provide unmatched workmanship.
