This replacement project showcases an XeteX custom outdoor Air Handling Unit specifically designed for a prestigious Fortune 100 corporate headquarters.
A Remarkable Retrofit and Replacement Custom Air Handler
XeteX is North America’s leading custom air handling systems manufacturer for industrial and commercial applications. Heating, AC, and ventilation can be design engineered and manufactured in one unit with split-sections for efficient rigging and transportability as shown in this replacement project.
In 2021, XeteX won the bid to deliver a high energy efficient custom air handling system to replace a 30-year-old outdoor system. Then in 2023, XeteX was chosen to replace a second similar system due to the quality performance of its first custom air handler.
XeteX custom designed the system with high energy efficiency products while retro fitting the new system into the existing footprint and utilizing the existing mechanicals. Not easy to do, but XeteX successfully delivered another high quality custom air handling system to perform for decades to come.
