This replacement project showcases an XeteX custom six-section split outdoor Air Handling Unit specifically designed for a prestigious Fortune 100 corporate headquarters. It offers unparalleled energy efficiency, reliable performance, and enhanced indoor air quality. 

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, air conditioning, and ventilation was design in one unit with six split sections which made rigging and transportability more efficient for installation.

In 2021, XeteX won the bid to design and deliver an energy efficient custom air handling unit to replace a 30-year-old unit. Because of its quality performance, XeteX was chosen to replace a second similar AHU in 2023.

XeteX custom designed the AHU with energy efficient 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 unit to perform for decades to come.
