The whole system
Heating, cooling, air handling, the piping and ductwork between them. When a building is done with its mechanical system, we take the whole thing out, room by room, and leave it clean for whatever comes next.
What we remove
How it goes
We look at what is coming out, how it leaves the building, and what stays. Most of the plan is decided in that half hour.
Floors, finishes and the equipment that isn't ours to touch get covered before the first cut.
Cast iron comes apart by the section. Firetubes and chillers get cut where they stand. Everything goes out through the building's existing paths, or a crane when the roof demands it.
Metal to the yard, the rest disposed of to Colorado regulations, and the room broom-clean before we leave.
Before we arrive
Every proposal spells this out. It is what keeps the job safe and the price honest.
Recent work
Two 4M BTU firetube boilers, six expansion tanks, a heat exchanger and the mechanical-room piping cut at the agreed termination points. Sectioned, rigged through existing building paths and hauled, sequenced cleanly around the project's active abatement. Turned over to district standard.

Twenty-three mechanical units and roughly a mile of copper piping sectioned and removed across six floors through elevator and freight constraints, with floor protection, scheduled access windows and daily broom-clean turnover. Tenants above and below never knew we were there.
Read the case study →Questions we get
Weight, pressure and refrigerant. A cast iron sectional can weigh 7,000 pounds a unit, chillers hold refrigerant that has to be recovered before anyone opens a line, and old boiler rooms hide asbestos in insulation and gaskets. A crew that does only this knows where the weight is, where the hazards are, and how to get it all through a doorway that was framed before the equipment went in.
Most of our commercial work is in occupied buildings: schools in session, office towers with tenants, hospitals. Protected paths, scheduled freight windows, dust and noise control and daily clean turnover are the normal way we work, not an upgrade.
Most jobs book one to three weeks out for residential and small commercial, three to six weeks for larger commercial work that has to coordinate with other trades. Same-day and next-day is a real option when a schedule breaks; call.
A range in about a minute, or a site walk and a written proposal within 48 hours. Either way you're talking to an owner.
