An EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR YOUR SELF-CONTAINED UNIT (SWUD/SCU)


McKenney’s understands your frustration when your capital needs conflict with budget constraints. Higher maintenance costs take away from the capital budget that could be used for upgrades. You need an effective solution that alleviates stress.


McKenney’s takes on the stress of the installation and replacement of your commercial SWUD / SCU system for building managers and property owners so tenants remain safe and comfortable.


Unlike other mechanical service providers, McKenney’s has 75 years of experience and an impeccable reputation in the HVAC industry. We are the experts in start-up and commissioning and provide turn-key service—from the disposal of the legacy SWUD units to the complete installation of your replacement self-contained water unit device (SWUD / SCU).

What Are The Benefits?


Image
A SWUD is a self-contained water-cooling unitary device. With the complete mechanical system designed within, SWUDs are compact units that allow for total cooling and conditioning of commercial buildings. Since SWUDs / SCUs are modular, they install more efficiently, fitting through most commercial hallways and elevators.
Image
The older commercial legacy SWUD units are expiring. Anything 20 years or older will eventually require replacement as refrigerant, compressors, and fan components are getting more difficult to find. The energy savings are inherent in the installation of new SWUD units.
Image
Especially when confronted with a difficult economy, McKenney’s can help drive decisions on where dollars are spent for your operating expenses. McKenney’s Energy Services can support your ROI objectives and help determine if repairing your unit is still cost-effective by comparing your current energy costs with installing a new SWUD / SCU unit.
