Welcome

Yes. Several retrofit options for air conditioning avoid exterior condensers, including indoor heat pumps like all-in-one (AIO) models that vent through discreet wall penetrations, as well as select water-loop/VRF solutions that utilize shared mechanical spaces. These options minimize visual impact, simplify HOA and historic approvals, and reduce snow and ice exposure.

There are several styles of louvers to choose from, and they can typically be located so that they are not visible from traffic areas. We also ensure that the louvers are color matched to the color of your building, making them a great choice for homes with air conditioning or indoor heat pumps. Additionally, we offer retrofit options to enhance your existing system.

Higher elevation lowers air density, which can reduce the capacity of air conditioning systems and the effectiveness of airflow from indoor heat pumps. We verify manufacturer performance data for local design conditions and select inverter systems with headroom, then confirm with room-by-room load calculations (solar gain, glazing, envelope, occupancy) to explore retrofit options.

Options include lift pumps to a remote drain, shared vertical stacks, or heated condensate evaporators with integrated trays that eliminate routine draining (useful where slopes/penetrations are restricted). We select based on humidity loads, service access, and electrical availability, especially when considering air conditioning and indoor heat pumps as retrofit options.

Approvals typically focus on exterior aesthetics, noise, and penetrations. We submit a clear package that includes elevations with grille/vent locations, sound data, finish schedules, and service access. Systems that keep air conditioning and indoor heat pumps indoors, while utilizing low-profile exterior terminations, generally move faster through review. Additionally, we explore various retrofit options to enhance efficiency.

Many legacy properties have tight panels. We run a load study, consider staged circuits, soft-start/inverter equipment, and demand-limit controls, along with room-level setpoint/occupancy strategies. For properties needing improved air conditioning or indoor heat pumps, we plan targeted retrofit options and electrical upgrades with minimal downtime.

We prioritize shoulder seasons, stack work vertically, and use “pod” scheduling (demo AM, rough-in midday, set/commission PM) to efficiently return rooms quickly. By integrating air conditioning and indoor heat pumps into our systems, we provide effective retrofit options. Dust isolation, quiet-hour rules, access rules, and daily punch/clean protocols ensure that public areas remain guest-ready.

Yes, we offer gateway-enabled occupancy-based control, remote monitoring, and automated set-back on check-out for air conditioning systems, including indoor heat pumps and various retrofit options.

Mountain properties increasingly plan for smoke events and dry conditions. We pair efficient air conditioning with right-sized outdoor air strategies, indoor heat pumps, ERVs, tight envelope sealing, and upgraded filtration (hotel-appropriate high-MERV media) to protect IAQ without excessive static. Additionally, we offer retrofit options to enhance overall system performance.

Yes , often you can avoid core drilling for drains. Two approches are 

1. using a heated condensate evaporator (collects and evaporates water, no drain line)

2. installing a small lift pump to tie into an existing drain/stack in a nearby chase.

AIO keeps everything indoors and vents through two discreet wall penetrations, making it an ideal choice for air conditioning in Colorado resort towns where HOAs and historic boards restrict exterior equipment. This system is particularly beneficial in areas where snow and ice can bury or damage outdoor condensers. With indoor heat pumps, installations are typically faster as there are no lineset runs, pads, cranes, or vacuum/charge needed. Additionally, there’s no outdoor noise to disturb neighbors. When planning for installation, consider in-room acoustic isolation since the compressor is inside, and be sure to verify capacity at elevation. This system also offers excellent retrofit options for existing setups.

Mini-split systems feature an outdoor compressor paired with a quiet air handler indoors, making them an effective solution for air conditioning needs. They provide a variety of capacity options and multi-zone configurations, where one condenser can serve several rooms, which can be cost-effective if exterior placement is feasible. Additionally, these systems can also incorporate indoor heat pumps for enhanced efficiency. However, keep in mind that they require exterior linesets and grilles, more approvals, exposure to weather, and careful snow and ice mitigation strategies, especially when considering retrofit options.
