Our HVAC VFD Retrofit Services in Long Island City
Motor control retrofits that cut energy waste on fans, pumps, and air handlers across Long Island City's commercial and industrial buildings.
VFD Suitability Assessment
Not every motor benefits equally from a drive retrofit. We assess your fans, pumps, and air handlers to identify where a VFD delivers real, measurable payback.
Drive Installation & Integration
We install and integrate VFDs with your existing controls or BAS platform, so speed control responds to actual building demand instead of running motors at full output around the clock.
Energy Savings Verification
Post-install, we measure and document actual energy reduction against pre-retrofit baselines — real numbers for your capital project file, not marketing estimates.
LL97 Energy Reduction Strategy
VFD retrofits are among the fastest capital improvements for reducing HVAC electrical load, directly supporting Long Island City buildings working toward LL97 emissions targets.
Motor & Drive Replacement
When an existing drive or motor has reached end of life, we handle full replacement — engineering spec, procurement, and startup commissioning included.
Utility Incentive Coordination
Many VFD retrofits qualify for Con Edison or NYSERDA efficiency incentives. We help identify and document eligible projects to offset installation cost.
From energy audit to measured savings
One partner handles assessment, install, and verification.
On-site energy assessment
A certified technician surveys your fans, pumps, and air handlers to identify which motors will see the greatest benefit from VFD control.
Engineering & incentive review
We design the retrofit scope and check for applicable Con Edison or NYSERDA incentives before finalizing the proposal.
Fixed-price proposal
You receive one itemized quote covering drives, installation, and controls integration — with incentive credits applied where eligible.
Installation & savings verification
Certified technicians install and commission each drive, then measure actual energy performance against your pre-retrofit baseline.
