READ MOREIt was a scenario that Glenn Godell, President of Trojan Energy Systems has seen many times. Updating the control system with modulating boiler controls, replacing aged out steam valves, and incorporating outdoor reset typically works wonders.

With 35 separate boiler rooms serving 1788 units of this multi-building apartment complex, heating issues are a fact of life. Being aware of them before a tenant complains, and being able to resolve them quickly before they cost the complex money, has always been his toughest challenge.
