Moran delivers HVAC systems that support learning, public health, and daily operations — day in, day out.

What challenges are unique to institutional HVAC projects?

Phased construction. Legacy infrastructure. Strict schedules. Occupied spaces. Institutional HVAC isn’t just about design — it’s about experience. It’s about precision execution. F.E. Moran specializes in delivering on tight timelines and within challenging environments, without compromising safety or quality.

What HVAC capabilities does F.E. Moran offer for institutional facilities?

Custom system design & engineering
Energy-efficient retrofits and performance upgrades
IAQ enhancements for healthier spaces
Zoned temperature control
Seamless integration with building automation systems (BAS)

Every system is code-compliant, energy-conscious, and built for lasting value.

Do you retrofit older institutional buildings?

Yes — and we do it with the goal of minimal disruption to operations. Whether it’s a century-old school or a decades-old courthouse, we upgrade HVAC systems to meet modern standards while working within your facility’s mechanical, architectural, and budgetary constraints and timelines.

How does F.E. Moran improve energy efficiency in institutional settings?

We design HVAC systems with long-term savings in mind, using:

Demand-controlled ventilation
Economizers and ERVs
High-efficiency chillers, boilers, and rooftop units

Our goal? Reduce operating costs. Meet sustainability targets. And give your institution more budget flexibility over time.

Can you coordinate work around school schedules and occupied buildings?

Absolutely. We’re pros at working in active environments — whether it’s a summer break rush or an after-hours install. Our crews are trained for speed, safety, and zero disruption — so your building stays open, safe, and fully functional throughout.

Do you provide prefabrication?

Yes. F.E. Moran’s in-house sheet metal and piping fabrication shops deliver ductwork, piping, and assemblies built offsite with precision. Prefabrication means safer jobsites, faster installs, and higher quality — a major advantage in schools, universities, and government buildings where minimizing disruption is critical.

Do you provide ongoing service and inspection?

We do. Our Service & Inspection teams provide routine maintenance, testing, and 24/7 emergency response for institutional HVAC systems. With 20+ hubs nationwide — including Chicago, Champaign, Houston, Denver, and Orlando — we deliver local responsiveness backed by national strength, keeping your systems compliant and reliable for years to come.
