Value Delivered

EMCOR Construction Services Midwest provided Christ the King Catholic School a value-engineered solution for upgrading their outdated steam boiler. 

Our extensive study equipped us to recommend a complete system redesign and replacement that would be fully self-funding, paying for itself over a 10-year term. Performing all the work under a guaranteed energy savings contract assured our client that their projected savings would be achieved.

All work was performed while school was out of session, with no disruption to any ongoing school activities. 

Our solution helps provides the school with a more comfortable learning environment, improved energy efficiency, and lower energy and operating costs—while allowing them to maintain a positive cash flow.
