Selected install and replacement projects across NYC, with DBA-only naming (no client names published without written permission). Each case study lists building type, neighborhood, scope, equipment platform, and project span. Together these represent the type of work Vinco runs daily across all five boroughs, from brownstone heat pump retrofits to building-wide VRF replacement.
Building type, scope, equipment, and project span. No client names. Named references available on request with the client's consent.
Three-story brownstone with one-pipe steam boiler decommissioned. Mitsubishi Hyper-Heat M-Series multi-zone ductless, two heads per floor, condenser in rear yard. 100A electrical service upgrade. Clean Heat Option 1 rebate filed as part of the install. Adds central cooling on every floor, which the boiler never provided. Project span: 6 weeks (proposal to commissioned install).
12-unit prewar co-op replacing 1980s PTAC and window AC across common-area corridors. Mitsubishi M-Series wall heads in each apartment, centralized condensers on roof. Alteration agreements produced for the co-op board, COIs with the building listed as additional insured. Project span: 14 weeks across phased apartment access.
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.
Failed gas-fired RTU replaced with electric heat pump packaged rooftop. Dedicated kitchen exhaust hood, ducted grease run to roof penetration with FDNY-approved fire damper, dedicated makeup-air system. Department of Health coordination on grease ductwork. Phased Load Electrification Clean Heat rate ($70 per MMBtu) on the kitchen line. Project span: 4 weeks, including after-hours work to maintain operations.
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.
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.
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.
