Unitemp has been servicing commercial buildings for 50+ years.
For most facility owners/operators, erecting a new building and installing custom mechanical systems is not financially possible. At Unitemp, we deal with replacing and retrofitting outdated units every day. Building mechanical systems can be selected to provide greater efficiencies and investments in current technology and lower maintenance and operating costs.
With a team of professional engineers, project managers, supervisors, and technicians, a custom retrofit solution can be created to support the needs of every client. Our LEED-certified professionals will provide comprehensive solutions, and we can increase productivity and workplace comfort with our recommendations and commercial HVAC installation services.
A commercial HVAC mechanical system installation requires a team of experts in commercial HVAC system components, electricians, plumbers, duct fabrication technicians, building automation engineers, and facility design engineers.
Our options for HVAC installers include Plan and Spec or Design/Build. With Plan and Spec, the building owner will have an engineering group design the system, and the building owner will find a contractor to build and install everything. With one of our Design/Build contractors, you will have a single source for system design, engineering, fabrication, and installation.
Whether retrofitting an existing industrial building or starting from scratch, our contractors have experience in commercial mechanical design/build solutions and will deliver the right system for your facility.
Each facility has its own specific needs, such as heating, air conditioning, and ventilation, from office buildings to industrial distribution centers. Whether you are a retail store, pharmaceutical manufacturing plant, or grocery store, local, state, and federal standards must be followed regarding indoor air quality. If you need to retrofit the mechanical system in an older building, you can choose off-the-shelf components or a custom engineering solution.
Generic systems may not be optimized for the configuration of the building because the system components are not optimized for the building layout and structure. Generic systems may not provide temperature controls for heating and cooling that can adjust to the needs of each specific space, and as a result, operating costs will increase.
With a Design/Build solution, every space within the building will be measured for proper airflow. Air handlers and other system components will be sized for optimal efficiency. Building automation systems can be configured to the building size and layout, conserving energy and overall operating costs.
Custom commercial HVAC solutions will deliver a higher ROI for most industrial buildings.
Retrofitting HVAC/R systems in older buildings with updated equipment sized for the commercial building’s current configuration and located in the right places can dramatically change indoor air quality. Building automation software can further reduce operating costs by bundling energy-saving technologies. In larger facilities using boiler-driven systems, retrofitting the size of these systems to meet current needs will allow for reduced energy, maintenance, and operating costs.
Building automation systems are great solutions for monitoring and regulating the day-to-day operation of HVAC temperature, humidity, and airflow, as well as safety, lighting, and security systems.
Every building has unique requirements for installing a proper HVAC unit. Building Automation Systems are designed to maximize the efficiency and comfort of the building. A custom BAS will reduce energy use and operating costs by monitoring building occupancy and adjusting heating, cooling and humidification as required.
Studies show that BAS provides consistent indoor air quality customized to each area in the facility, creating a healthier work environment. In addition, buildings certified through LEED practices have shown increased employee productivity when heating, cooling, and lighting are adjusted to appropriate levels for specific tasks.
Reduced maintenance costs and operating efficiency will also come from the 24/7 management of the facility. BAS is the gold standard for managing the HVAC systems in industrial buildings.
Understanding the complex landscape of commercial HVAC systems and regulations is important to industrial businesses. The requirements for indoor air quality, heat, water, energy standards, and compliance with maintaining a safe environment are carefully monitored by local, state, and federal agencies. HVAC regulations govern the installation, maintenance, and operation of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.
Maintenance is a key element for ongoing compliance. Following a prescribed maintenance schedule for building mechanical systems using qualified professionals to meet safety and efficiency standards is critical. Choosing a licensed contractor who understands your mechanical system components and the industries you serve will be very helpful in preventing violating regulations.
At some point, older buildings will need to upgrade their HVAC system. Choosing the right installer to support your facility is the first step in protecting the capital you have invested in managing indoor air quality. Because older buildings have unique floor plans and layouts, retrofitting properly requires a contractor with a team who understands your business and the clients you serve.
Our seasoned contractors are able to provide planning and construction services, an in-house design and engineering team, drafting documents, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) documents to review before construction begins. We will provide steam fitting and pipe fitting to any specification, orbital welding and specialty process piping, and custom ductwork layout and installation.
Our contractors can create workarounds to any challenge in the facility floor plan and deliver an energy-efficient mechanical system installation.
HVAC mechanical units are a big investment for industrial buildings, and protecting that investment requires the assistance of a team that understands the customers you serve, the rules and regulations you must adhere to, and makes sure the system never fails. Our team has the capability to provide retrofitting services to replace or repair failing components. Our contractors can create a custom service program that regularly checks your entire system to ensure everything is working properly and complies with OEM warranty service rules.
Unitemp understands the laws and regulations specified for the industries you serve and will make sure your mechanical system is operating at the performance level required for optimal indoor air quality.
If you are manufacturing pharmaceutical products, a contractor who knows your industry’s manufacturing requirements and has provided service to the pharmaceutical industry. A contractor who provides ongoing training and education to his/her team to look for technical upgrades to improve operating efficiency and lower operating costs. Most importantly, a contractor who can identify potential system failures proactively repair, service, or replace this component, avoids interruptions to your manufacturing schedules.
Industrial and commercial buildings cover a wide spectrum of industries. To provide your facility with the most comprehensive HVAC mechanical system support knowledge, look for a contractor with deep industry experience. Our contractors understand the needs of the industrial market sector, including pharma, general manufacturing, and warehouse fulfillment.
If your business serves the commercial markets, including educational facilities, healthcare, office buildings, retail, data centers, financial institutions, food storage, or recreational facilities, list your specific needs when meeting with our contractors. We will work with you to keep your mechanical system operating properly.
