One Weekend for Optimal Tenant Comfort
As one of the largest property management firms in New Jersey, our client is committed to providing its tenants with the ideal working environment. To maintain this standard, our client needed to replace an aging 25-ton rooftop HVAC system that threatened to compromise its tenants' comfort levels. In addition, the overhaul needed to be completed during a weekend so it would not interfere with normal building operations.
Unusual Equipments Needs and a Challenging Deadline
The project posed two challenges. First, the HVAC unit was a horizontal-based system. These systems require the ductwork to be fabricated and installed to match the existing roof transitions. Traditionally, field measurements are recorded on site, sent to the duct manufacturer, and produced a few days later—a time-consuming process. The second challenge was to meet the weekend deadline and have the system operational first thing Monday morning.
Solution
To expedite the project, the Monsen team performed the ductwork on site, which
included measurements, duct fabrication, and installation. In addition to replacing the HVAC system, our team:
•     Installed averaging sensors and local controls to operate the new system;
•     Performed electrical breaker upgrades; and
•     Terminated and reconnected power wiring for the new system.
Upon completion, we assigned a field technician on Monday morning to confirm the system was operating properly.
Monsen Delivers Results
Within two days, the system was running at peak capacity. In addition, the tenants were not disrupted in any way. Our client's system upgrade resulted in comfortable tenants, happy property managers, and loyal clients. Monsen's role as a single-source provider went beyond the traditional scope of system upgrades and yielded a 100% turnkey operation for this client.
