The Metro Group services

Metro’s Mechanical Services team was established to provide an outsourcing partnership option for the mechanical companies we work with and to make Metro a one-stop shop for those customers that require mechanical and/or boiler repair services. Our services are designed to be efficient, cost-effective, “green,” and performed in a timely, professional manner. We are committed to prompt completion of work requests, usually 1-2 business days unless otherwise requested by the customer, to ensure our customers have minimal downtime and can remain focused on what they do best: running their business.

IN MAJOR METROPOLITAN MARKETS, The Metro Group provides a variety of boiler-care programs, including boiler waterside cleaning, selective fireside cleaning and tune-ups, and other applied cleaning and equipment installation services. Keeping a boiler properly maintained is essential for smooth, minimal risk operation of the system. Over the course of our 85 years in business, we have developed a reputation for outstanding boiler care practices, earning the respect of major institutions such as hospitals, educational institutions, and large-city government.

Heat exchangers are physical plant components, named and used to transfer heat (BTU`s) between interconnected systems in mechanical operations. Designs include shell & tube, or plate & frame. Common heat exchange occurs in water-to-water, steam-to-water, or refrigerant-to-water devices. In the case of process operations, heat may also be transferred into/from a product or process. Depending upon design requirements, they are also defined by the number of "passes" through the exchanger. Over-cycled water will precipitate scale deposits onto hot surfaces as it passes through the heat exchanger. A build-up of deposits can also contain accumulated minerals, excessive corrosion products, bio-film (in a cooling water), or any combination there-of. This causes a dramatic reduction in efficiency and increase in energy costs!
