EPA removes the R-410A installation deadline for existing equipment
A May 2026 final rule lets residential and light-commercial systems built before 2025 be installed until inventory runs out. The 2025 manufacturing cutoff still stands.
Piping and HVAC, coordinated with every other system.
Process piping, heating, ventilation and plumbing, planned alongside our electrical and fire protection crews so pipe, duct and conduit fit the first time.
Mechanical
Mechanical rooms are where space runs out first.
Pumps, boilers, air handlers, piping, duct, sprinkler mains and cable tray all compete for the same few metres of ceiling and floor. When those systems are installed by separate contractors, the first trade in tends to take the best route and everyone else works around it.
Our mechanical crews plan their work with our electrical and fire protection teams from the start. The result is mechanical rooms that are easier to build, easier to maintain and that leave access to the equipment operators will need to reach.
Mechanical scope
What we build.
Delivered by our own mechanical crews, coordinated with the rest of the Enertec team on the same project.
Process piping
Stainless, carbon steel and ductile iron piping for pumping, treatment and industrial process systems.
HVAC & ventilation
Air handling, exhaust and make-up air systems, including ductwork and controls coordination.
Plumbing & drainage
Domestic water, sanitary and storm systems for residential and institutional buildings.
Heating & cooling plants
Boilers, chillers, heat pumps and the pumps and piping that connect them.
Hydronic systems
Heating and chilled water distribution, balanced and commissioned.
Welding & fabrication
Shop and field fabrication of piping assemblies and supports.
Delivery
How a mechanical scope runs.
The same sequence on every project, adapted to the facility and the schedule.
Coordination drawings
Pipe and duct routed with electrical and sprinkler layouts before anything is fabricated.
Prefabrication
Spools, headers and pump skids built in controlled conditions and delivered ready to set.
Installation & pressure testing
Systems installed, supported and pressure tested section by section.
Start-up & balancing
Equipment started with the manufacturer, systems flushed, balanced and handed over.
How we work
Fewer clashes, less rework.
Because our mechanical, electrical and fire protection crews coordinate from the same drawings, conflicts get solved in the model instead of on site.
Prefabricated piping assemblies cut install time in tight mechanical rooms and occupied buildings.
Codes & standards we build to
Editions and local amendments vary by jurisdiction.
Sectors
Where you’ll find our mechanical crews.
Mechanical work across the sectors we serve, often alongside our other trades on the same project.
Pumping stations & water infrastructureLift stations, booster stations and treatment upgrades, often while the plant keeps running.
Student housingMid- and high-rise residences delivered against a move-in date that doesn’t move.
CampusesLabs, academic buildings and central plants on campuses that stay open during construction.
Industrial & process facilitiesPlants, process lines and power equipment where all four trades meet in the same space.
Multi-unit residentialRental and condominium buildings where every suite has to be right, floor after floor.
Commercial buildingsOffices, retail and commercial space, from base building to tenant fit-out.
Mixed-use developmentsResidential over retail, office or community space, with every use coordinated under one contract.
