Custom HVAC
Custom Mechanical Equipment designs and manufactures multizone HVAC systems tailored to building-specific needs. Our PMZ3 units offer energy-efficient heating and cooling for 1-3 story structures, with customizable features like ductwork, controls, and Title 24 compliance. These systems reduce energy use by up to 22%, ensuring optimal comfort and cost savings for schools, offices, and healthcare facilities.
RTU Screening
Our RTU screening solutions protect HVAC units, chillers, and cooling towers while maintaining airflow and aesthetics. Customizable options include panel styles, colors, and 1-4 sided configurations. Built with durable 26-gauge steel and UV-resistant coatings, these screens ensure compliance with architectural standards and ease of maintenance for commercial buildings.
Power Distribution Centers
Custom-built Power Distribution Centers house electrical gear for oil, gas, and data mining sites. Constructed with 16-gauge galvannealed steel, these enclosures offer insulation, removable transoms, and equipment access doors. They can be delivered turnkey-ready or as shells, providing flexible, code-compliant solutions for on-site data centers and industrial applications.
Lithium Battery Storage
Partnering with ELM Microgrid, we fabricate lithium-ion battery storage systems ranging from 20kW to 1MW. These units optimize energy use by storing power during off-peak hours and discharging during peak demand, reducing electrical bills. Ideal for renewable energy integration, they offer grid independence and reliable backup for commercial and industrial facilities.
Custom Fabrication
Our fabrication shop handles custom metal projects for HVAC enclosures, oil racks, and skid buildings. Equipped with CNC saws, plasma tables, and welding capabilities, we deliver precision-crafted solutions. Services include design, manufacturing, and powder coating, ensuring durable, application-specific results for industries like energy, construction, and renewables.
