Building Automation & Automated HVAC Systems
Mountain Hydronics designs, installs, and services building automation systems that give you complete control and visibility of your heating and cooling equipment. From single family homes in Colorado to resorts, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities across the United States, we connect your mechanical systems to one intelligent platform that runs equipment efficiently, catches problems early, and keeps you informed from anywhere.
You Can't Manage What You Can't Measure
In most buildings, boilers, chillers, pumps, and air handlers run on their own separate controls with little feedback about how well they’re actually performing. Equipment runs longer and harder than it needs to, scale quietly builds up inside heat exchangers, and a struggling pump goes unnoticed until someone calls about a cold room. Our automation turns your mechanical room into a measured, monitored system, and measurement is what makes real efficiency possible.
Automation Built by Hydronic Specialists
We service the same equipment we automate. That means your automation system is designed by technicians who understand how boilers, chillers, pumps, and air handling equipment actually work, not just the controls that sit on top of them. Our customized PLC based solutions integrate with the equipment already in your building, so you get smarter control without replacing systems that are working.
What We Automate
- Central Control & PLC Systems: One centralized controller that every connected system reports to, with an optional secure automation network kept separate from your building IT.
- Boiler Automation: Digital control with outdoor air reset, temperature and pressure monitoring, and early detection of scaling and pump issues.
- Chiller Automation: Staging and individual module control, performance tracking, and refrigerant and compressor protection.
- Circulation Pump & VFD Control: Pressure monitoring, automatic shutdown on pressure loss, and variable-speed control that matches pump output to real demand.
- Cooling Tower Automation: Fan control based on outdoor conditions plus automated basin heater and winterization control for year-round protection.
- Heat Exchanger Monitoring: Temperature and pressure tracking on both loops to catch fouling before it costs you capacity.
- Air Handling & Makeup Air Units: Scheduled unit control, damper and fan speed control, static pressure monitoring, and filter replacement alerts.
- Automatic Zone Control: Heating and cooling delivered only where and when it’s needed, from radiant floors to multi-zone commercial spaces.
- Mechanical Room Safety Monitoring: Gas, carbon monoxide, refrigerant, and water leak detection with automatic equipment shutdown and alerts.
Remote Monitoring & Smart Alerts
- Live System Data: Real-time readings available to your team and ours from anywhere through our mobile monitoring platform.
- Automated Alerts: The right people are notified the moment something needs attention.
- Performance Trends: See how your system responds to weather and occupancy to fine-tune settings and verify repairs.
- Condition-Based Maintenance: Service is scheduled based on actual equipment condition, not the calendar or a breakdown.
The Benefits of Automating Your Building
- Lower Energy Costs: Equipment runs only as hard and as long as your building requires.
- Fewer Emergency Calls: Problems are caught while they’re still small.
- Longer Equipment Life: Reduced cycling and early fault detection protect your investment.
- Consistent Comfort: Issues are often resolved before anyone notices.
- Smarter Planning: Real performance data supports budgeting and capital decisions.
- Room to Grow: Start with core automation and add features later without replacing what’s installed.
