US - Foley Mechanical, Inc recently completed an innovative boiler installation project at Mendota Apartments, which has been featured in a case study by Weil-McLain. The project highlights the company’s ability to deliver high-quality HVAC solutions while addressing the needs of different properties.
Built in 1901, Mendota Apartments is a historic building located in Washington, DC. While parts of the building had undergone restoration over the years, its 40-year-old gas steam boiler needed an upgrade. Tenants frequently reported not having enough heat, with some units being too cold and others uncomfortably warm. Additionally, the annual cost of natural gas had become expensive, and the board of directors required a solution that could provide major energy savings and improve resident comfort.
Dan Foley, the president and owner of Foley Mechanical, Inc was selected for the project. After an inspection, he recommended installing the Weil-McLain LGB-20 atmospheric draft steam boiler at 2.5 million BTUs to increase piping and venting headroom. In two weeks, Dan and his team removed the old boiler, conducted a system overhaul, installed new mainline steam vents, and replaced the piping.
Once the new boiler was optimized, Mendota Apartments experienced hot and quiet radiators, steam circling the mains quickly, a 40% reduction in fuel costs, and no tenant complaints.
From the first inspection and recommendations to the installation and system optimization, the team at Foley Mechanical, Inc demonstrated a devotion to results that exceeded expectations while maintaining quality and efficiency.
With extensive experience in repairing, replacing, and installing complex HVAC systems, Foley Mechanical, Inc. continues to earn the trust of residential and commercial property owners. The recent success at Mendota Apartments further highlights the team’s expertise in handling unique challenges with precision and tailored solutions.
Looking ahead, Foley Mechanical, Inc’s upcoming project in New York further cements its position as an industry leader. The project will feature energy-efficient, custom-tailored systems designed to meet the property’s unique demands, enhancing performance while reducing operational costs. It underscores the company’s dedication to innovation, sustainability, and client-focused service, ensuring every solution aligns with the highest industry standards.
Foley Mechanical, Inc’s portfolio highlights a history of successful HVAC installations across diverse properties, supported by numerous 5-star reviews. One satisfied client shared: “After diagnosing the problem with an existing boiler, estimated to be over 30 years old, Foley Mechanical, Inc recommended a replacement. They installed a new Burnham gas boiler and a sensor to monitor outdoor temperature to make it more efficient… The crews were punctual, asked good questions to ensure things were done as I wanted, and the work seems very high quality…”
