Brand new HVAC system on building

Value Delivered

ECM provided renovation services for this commercial client’s rooftop units (RTUs) to help improve efficiency, minimize maintenance needs, and extend equipment lifespans. 

Post-renovation, our thorough measurement and verification process showed that our improvements were helping fins transfer heat more efficiently and coils provide better sub-cooling. 

The client subsequently contracted us for a nationwide rollout of these services to all their major U.S. campuses.

Client Objectives

The client wanted improved performance from four RTUs, each with two condenser coil circuits and three compressors per circuit. 

Solutions

  • Coil cleaning and prepping
  • Proprietary HVAC Armor coating for coils 
  • Refrigerant system optimization, including proprietary refrigerant additive and core dryer filter replacement
  • Measurement and verification, including enthalpy testing
