  Class A office, Midtown

  Full VRF replacement

  Floor 12 through 18 of a Class A office tower. Daikin VRV Aurora replacing 2007 chiller-and-AHU plant. Heat recovery enabled so perimeter zones can heat while interior zones cool on the same loop. iTM building management interface integrated with existing BMS. Local Law 97 emissions modeling completed for the building's annual report. Project span: 11 weeks per floor, staged after-hours to minimize tenant disruption.

  Boutique hotel, Tribeca

  City Multi VRF guest-room retrofit

  Guest-room cooling and heating retrofit across 6 floors, 42 keys. Mitsubishi City Multi VRF with M-Series indoor heads in each guest room, central condensers on roof. Replaces failing through-wall PTAC. Coordinated controls with the hotel's existing PMS so each room sets to occupied/unoccupied profile. Project span: 16 weeks, two floors at a time to maintain occupancy.

• 06

  Full-load ASHP with decommissioning

  24-unit pre-war multifamily converting from oil-fired boiler to building-wide air-source heat pump. Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat M-Series, individual condensers per unit on the roof, oil boiler decommissioned. Clean Heat multifamily prescriptive rate at $5,000 per dwelling unit ($120,000 total). NYSERDA EmPower Plus stacked on income-qualified units. Project span: 22 weeks, phased per stack.

• 07

  Hotel chiller plant, Midtown West

  Two diagnostics, one season. In May, 12 of 20 compressors online; by July, 7 of 20, after flagged repairs went undone and a second heat exchanger ruptured. Bank-by-bank findings, and a report that leads with the number the owner needs: compressors online against what the building requires. The full story is on the hotel HVAC page.

  Cooling tower, midtown Manhattan hotel

  A gearbox fan assembly on a Marley/SPX 300-ton cooling tower, the heat-rejection loop for two 150-ton Arctic Chill water-cooled chillers below, showed heavy corrosion 30 days after we replaced it. The part was fine; the water condition was the problem. Monthly maintenance caught it at 30 days instead of at failure, and the finding drove a water-treatment review alongside the mechanical work.

  

• 09

  Luxury apartment building, Madison and 37th

  Two 30-ton AAON rooftop units configured for 100% outside air, plus a Generac industrial generator, set by crane under a permitted night street closure with residents home the whole time. Crane operations performed by master riggers with proper permits; Vinco owned the mechanical scope, from permits and staging through startup and commissioning.

  Boutique hotel, SoHo

  Emergency exhaust diagnostic to building recovery plan

  A Saturday smoke backup in the hotel kitchen brought the fire department out. Our tech opened the CaptiveAire exhaust and makeup-air control panel and found a temperature controller reading open-sensor, wiring burned at the terminals, and a cardboard box wedged into the live panel by a prior party to hold the failing controller in place. Drive belts shredded, coils fouled, roughly two years of deferred maintenance. The building's smoke-purge unit was also down. We photographed everything, produced a photo-documented diagnostic report that weekend, and priced the repair scope: chemical cleaning, new belts and filters, controller and contactor replacement, rewiring, and commissioning. The report led to a full-building walkthrough with ownership's engineer and a phased recovery plan, approved by ownership, that puts life-safety systems first: toilet exhaust, the smoke-purge return fan, then the water-source heat pump fleet and the cooling tower, with repair-versus-replace economics that price in Local Law 77 compliance.

Why client names are not published here.

Co-op boards, condo associations, hotel chains, and commercial property managers generally do not authorize their building name on a contractor's marketing materials. Many lease agreements and co-op alteration agreements expressly prohibit it. The DBA-only naming convention (building type, neighborhood, scope, equipment) preserves the case study detail while respecting the client relationship.

Named references are available on request to sales prospects, with the client's consent. A prospective customer can email admin@vincomechanical.com with their building type and scope question; Vinco will reach out to past clients with similar projects to ask for a direct reference, contingent on their approval.

Right to remove: if a past client believes a project reference on this site identifies them, email admin@vincomechanical.com and Vinco will remove it within 3 business days.
