HVAC/R Projects

Omega Electric, a division of Temperature Service Company, Inc., engineered and deployed a multi-phase commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure modernization at The Fordham Condominium Association (25 E. Superior Street, Chicago, IL). Expanding power distribution from the basement to the 10th floor, the high-rise retrofit delivers dedicated 30-amp circuits and scalable capacity for 63+ EV charging stations across seven active parking garage levels with zero disruption to daily resident operations. Key Technical & Engineering Highlights High-Capacity Power Distribution: Anchored on the 10th floor by a central 1200A, 480Y/277V Siemens P5 Series panelboard featuring Dynamic Arc-Flash Sentry (DAS), stepping power down to 800A Siemens P3 panels and 200A/400A, 208Y/120V Siemens P2 sub-panels with 42-circuit configurations. Precision Sloped-Floor Rigging: Custom-mounted 300 KVA and 150 KVA 3-phase transformers (480V Delta to 208Y/120V) elevated 6 inches above the finished floor—alongside panels anchored at least 12 inches AFF—to ensure level stability on sloped concrete garage surfaces. Structural Safety Protocols: Executed proactive structural concrete slab scanning with building engineer approval prior to all multi-floor coring and right-angle conduit routing. Smart Charging Connectivity: Deployed garage-wide wireless access points integrated into the facility's internet backbone for charging unit telemetry, dynamic load management, and point-of-sale software authentication. Frequently Asked Questions How do you upgrade EV infrastructure in an occupied high-rise without disruption? Omega Electric isolated the distribution system into distinct service zones across phased deployments and performed concrete slab scanning prior to coring to maintain structural integrity and continuous resident parking access. What commercial equipment was installed to expand EV capacity at The Fordham? The service expansion utilized a 1200A Siemens P5 main distribution panelboard, 800A Siemens P3 and 200A/400A Siemens P2 panels, elevated 300 KVA and 150 KVA transformers, dedicated 30-amp branch circuits, and garage-wide Wi-Fi access points.

Temperature Service Company executed a comprehensive steam-to-hydronic boiler plant modernization at Lake Point Tower (505 N Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL). Overhauling the 1968, 70-story residential high-rise, the project featured coordinated downtown Chicago street closures and high-altitude helicopter rigging with Midwest Helicopter to hoist four Patterson-Kelley high-efficiency condensing boilers onto the rooftop penthouse. Supported by structural concrete slab scanning, custom equipment pads, Taco inline pumps, a Spirotherm hydraulic separator, and seamless Building Automation System (BAS) integration, the modernization significantly enhances heating reliability, energy efficiency, and safety.

Whether you’re a Property Manager or a Building/Facilities Manager, we know you understand what an amazing amount of planning and work goes into a project of this size! Everything from street closures in Chicago, to crane lifts, chillers, cooling towers, and pumps… when you work with us you’ll find out quickly that Temperature Service Company has the experience and expertise to handle it all.

When approached to come up with a way to reduce the heating expenses of an empty 2,000,000 square foot manufacturing facility near Joliet, Illinois, Temperature Service Company gladly accepted the challenge! Since its closure in 2017, the property owners spent over $1,000,000 year after year just to heat the facility to a level to avoid pipes bursting during the cold, midwest, winter months.

Our videos tend to make what we do look easy. That’s because our Field Personnel is nothing but the best in the industry! Even so… it does take more than just awesome HVAC Professionals to make sure this project went off without a hitch. Prior to the day of installation, TSC’s team of Engineers and Project Managers spent 2 months planning, preparing, and coordinating with our customer to ensure this project would run smoothly and quickly.

Temperature Service Company is no stranger to challenges. So when this Chicagoland Medical Technology Provider approached them to engineer and install a solution that increased cooling capacity as well as add HEPA filtration of a Cleanroom in their facility, TSC gladly accepted.

Temperature Service Company was proud to be part of this proactive replacement project for a mid-rise condominium building located in Chicago’s River North Neighborhood where equipment serving the common areas of the building was showing common tell-tale signs of “aging equipment on their path to failure”.

What do you get when you combine two companies with 40 years of experience in Chicago’s Commercial and Industrial HVAC and Electrical industries?
