What a lead looks like in your feed.

A 14,000 sq ft office building sold this quarter, and a mechanical permit was pulled at the same address a few weeks later. The rooftop units are old enough to still run R-22. A new owner, end-of-life equipment and active work at once is about as strong as a commercial HVAC signal gets, so call before they settle on a vendor.

The city cited this building for leaking boiler tubes, and the violation is still open, so the owner has to fix it on the city's clock. The citation names the remedy. With a heating plant this old, expect the conversation to turn to replacement.

Foundation work just started on a $10.2M industrial building, and the mechanical package hasn't been awarded yet. By the time a mechanical permit shows up, the job is usually gone. This is the window to get in front of the general contractor.

The state operating permit on this fire-tube boiler runs out in about six weeks. The owner needs an inspection to keep it in service, and an old boiler that needs work to pass is a repair or replacement job.

The Department of Veterans Affairs posted a solicitation on SAM.gov to replace the chiller at an outpatient clinic, with a firm response deadline. The agency has already funded the work and named the scope, so the only open question is who bids it.

A build-out permit was filed for a medical office suite. Medical space has tight ventilation and comfort requirements, which makes for a bigger mechanical job, and the permit names the scope, so the work is funded and scheduled.

A new food-service license was issued at this address. Kitchen exhaust, make-up air and comfort cooling all get specified before a restaurant opens, and the operator is spending right now. Reaching them early beats waiting for the permit.

A health inspector wrote up this restaurant's walk-in cooler for failing to hold temperature. The operator can't keep food in it until it's fixed, so they need a refrigeration tech this week.

EPA lists an unresolved high-priority air violation at this plant. Plants like this run combustion, process cooling and ventilation equipment, and a compliance problem tends to put that equipment on the capital list.

A mechanical upgrade permit was filed on a light-industrial warehouse that changed owners earlier this year. Old rooftop units on a building that just sold usually get replaced in phases, so there's likely more work after this permit.
