Our team is putting the final touches on our boiler replacement project at Mayo Elementary School in Paris, IL. Here’s a glimpse of two new condensing hot water boilers. These condensing boilers provide an enormous efficiency upgrade from the original steam/hot water heat exchanger that was originally installed in the late 1980s. In addition to the condensing boilers, we installed two new sectional steam boilers to serve the existing infrastructure. More pictures of the steam boilers to come!

Out with the old, in with the new. At a local industrial facility, we removed a pair of 120-ton split chillers and replaced them with a pair of 136-ton chillers, complete with sound reduction enclosures. This gives the facility increased cooling capacity without all of the noise that comes with it.

Another summer, another fraternity house renovation with BARBER & DEATLEY, INC. This week we completed our plumbing and HVAC remodel at Sigma Phi Delta on UIUC’s campus. Our remodel included all new plumbing fixtures and VRF units to allow each student to have complete temperature control of their room.

Another high-rise completed on UIUC's campus and ready for students to move in! This is a 13 story mixed-use building that will serve as apartments and commercial space for the University of Illinois. With over 240 apartments and 400 bathrooms, our plumbers certainly stayed busy over the past year and a half. Thank you to Findorff for another successful project.

From tower cranes to mobile cranes, it was a productive week here at United Mechanical Group. We had multiple lifts on various projects including successfully hoisting our prefabricated domestic hot water system up to a 14th story penthouse and removing roof-mounted equipment totaling 44,000 lb from a local industrial facility.

We are proud to be working alongside the King Lar Company on a complete mechanical upgrade at a local industrial facility.

As the move-in date quickly approaches on the DEAN (17-story – 322 apartment complex), it’s nice to see final finishes in place with working plumbing. Our TEAM of plumbers have endured over a year of 10-12 hour days, night shifts, and weekend work to get to this point and we will continue the push until residents move in two weeks.

When a healthcare client’s preferred vendor informed them that it would take 12 weeks to replace a damaged chilled water coil, they called for a second opinion. United Mechanical Group had a custom coil built and replaced with 100% cooling within 10 business days from the clients approval.
