The Claymore Apartments in Farmington Hills, Michigan.  Project included the change out of hot water heating.  The old equipment consisted of a 10 year old cast iron boiler with 9 indirect hot water heaters.  It was unreliable and had complicated piping and hot water delivery.  It failed on a Saturday morning.  Performance Engineering Group was selected because we could provide a quick plan to restore hot water to the building.  A 1.2 million BTU water heater and 2 hot water storage tanks were installed.  The owner is ecstatic – huge drop in gas use due to direct water heating versus the old indirect process.  Hot water is abundant, reliable and a huge reduction in equipment to maintain.
