Building Automation Controls & HVAC Control Systems
Kelley Mechanical designs, installs, and services the building automation systems that keep commercial and industrial facilities running efficiently. A building's HVAC equipment performs only as well as the controls that manage it, and a single failed sensor or bad sequence can waste energy, drive up equipment wear, and leave occupants uncomfortable. As an experienced building automation contractor and HVAC controls contractor, our team works on a wide range of control platforms, from single-building retrofits to multi-site campus systems.
Building controls are not the same discipline as standard HVAC service. Automation work demands programming skill, network knowledge, and technicians who understand how every piece of mechanical equipment in a building interacts. Kelley Mechanical built our controls division around that expertise, and we use it to deliver comfort and process solutions for offices, plants, schools, and mixed-use facilities.
Certified Carrier i-Vu Installation and Service
Kelley Mechanical is certified on the Carrier i-Vu building automation platform. Our technicians install, program, and support i-Vu systems, including:
- New i-Vu system design and installation
- Controller programming and sequence of operations setup
- Graphics, trending, and alarm configuration
- Integration of rooftop units, air handlers, chillers, boilers, and VAV systems
- Remote access setup for facility managers
- Upgrades from legacy Carrier controls
Open Protocol and Multi-Platform Integration
Many BACnet service companies only support one manufacturer's equipment. Kelley Mechanical works with open protocols, so we connect equipment from different manufacturers into one system. Our building automation solutions support:
- BACnet IP and BACnet MS/TP networks
- Modbus integration for meters, drives, and plant equipment
- LonWorks systems in existing buildings
- Integration of third-party equipment controllers into a single front end
Building Automation and Controls Services We Provide
- Commercial building automation design, installation, and upgrades
- BAS installation for new construction and existing buildings
- Controls wiring for new installations and retrofits
- Sequence of operations programming and optimization
- Controls troubleshooting and repair
- Sensor, actuator, and controller replacement
- Energy management scheduling and setpoint optimization
- Alarm programming and remote monitoring
Why Building Automation Matters
HVAC systems account for a large share of a commercial building's energy use, and poorly tuned controls waste much of it. Equipment runs when rooms sit empty, heating and cooling fight each other, and small problems go unnoticed until something fails. A properly programmed building automation system (BAS) schedules equipment to match occupancy, holds setpoints within a narrow range, and alerts staff the moment something goes wrong. Kelley Mechanical programs every system with this in mind, so your building uses less energy and your equipment lasts longer.
Commercial and Industrial Controls Expertise
Every commercial building controls technician and industrial building controls technician on our team trains on both the mechanical equipment and the controls that run it. That makes Kelley Mechanical a commercial building controls contractor and an industrial building controls contractor in one.
- A commercial controls specialist for offices, retail, schools, and multi-tenant buildings
- An industrial controls specialist for manufacturing plants, warehouses, and process environments
- A controls expert on every project, from the first site survey to final commissioning
Facilities We Support
- Office buildings and corporate campuses
- Manufacturing plants and industrial facilities
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Schools, universities, and government buildings
- Retail centers and multi-tenant properties
Controls Maintenance Programs
A building automation system needs regular attention to keep performing. Sensors drift, schedules fall out of date, and overrides left in place can waste energy for months. Kelley Mechanical structures controls maintenance plans around scheduled reviews and system health checks, catching problems before they affect comfort or energy costs.
- Scheduled system reviews built around your building's operating hours
- Sensor calibration and actuator testing
- Schedule, setpoint, and override audits
- Software and firmware updates
- Documentation and reporting for internal review
- Priority service response built into every maintenance contract
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a building automation system control?
A building automation system (BAS) controls and monitors HVAC equipment, including air handlers, rooftop units, chillers, boilers, and VAV boxes. It can also manage lighting schedules and energy metering. Kelley Mechanical designs each system around your building's equipment and operating needs.
Can Kelley Mechanical work with our existing controls system?
Yes. As a building controls service company, Kelley Mechanical services existing systems, integrates new equipment through BACnet and other open protocols, and upgrades legacy controls when they reach the end of their life.
Why hire a controls expert contractor instead of a separate controls vendor?
A single contractor removes the gaps between trades. When the same team understands the mechanical equipment, runs the controls wiring, and programs the BAS, problems get solved faster and nothing falls between vendors. Kelley Mechanical serves as your BAS HVAC controls contractor from design through service.
