Renovations and Upgrade of Existing Buildings

One of the most dynamic parts of our business is serving the needs of clients who find it necessary to relocate, expand their operations, or whose existing HVAC systems do not meet their new requirements.

An engineering survey of existing systems is usually performed to determine whether they can be used to satisfy part of the requirements. Because of enhanced features and efficiency of new equipment, it is often cost effective to retire existing older units.

Age of equipment or environmental concerns often determine the timing of equipment upgrade or replacement. The time limits in replacing equipment using HFC or HCFC refrigerants as proscribed by the Montreal Protocol will continue to exert pressure for change. Faced with continuing high energy costs, the higher efficiency of new equipment offers energy savings of 30-40 %, and together with sophisticated electronic control systems now available, the incentive to upgrade HVAC systems is greater now than ever before.

We at J. Lawrence Hall Company are ready and prepared to help you make any decisions you have regarding your existing HVAC equipment.
