At ACSI Mechanical Group, we pride ourselves in providing specialized maintenance and installation services to help you reduce risks, lower costs, and maintain your facilities.

In addition to service, mechanical, refractory, and piping Services, we offer a full suite of boiler services, with the addition of ACSI Mechanical Group. 

During boiler normal wear & tear, boilers are prone to inefficiency and sediment build-up. This leads to higher energy bills and a boiler that will result in a shorter life, which means higher expenses for your company.

The experts at ACSI Mechanical Group know how important your boiler is and are dedicated to proper boiler service, maintenance & repair. 

Boiler Repairs

If your current boiler begins to malfunction (leak), you need an experienced contractor to provide prompt and dependable repair service.

Whether it’s a repair to your existing boiler equipment or a full boiler replacement installation, our team of experts will help you determine the best solution for your unique situation and advise you of the most cost-effective way of solving your problems! 

In the event of a cost-saving repair, we can perform all necessary steps, including retubing, patch welding, refractory, & high efficient burner upgrades to meet your needs!

Boiler Installations

In some situations, we may find signs of boiler degradation past the point of repair and determine that a boiler replacement is in your best interest. 

If this is the case regarding your boiler, our seasoned staff will arrive on-site quickly and review all options with you. Together, we will work to find the appropriate solution for your situation and offer an accurate price estimate.

Once you decide to move forward with our recommendations, we will work quickly and efficiently in order to make sure that the installation is completed to your satisfaction.

Boiler Maintenance

To keep your boiler running in top shape, we recommend scheduling yearly boiler maintenance.

Doing so prevents wear and tear from compromising your boiler, as well as making sure it is constantly in good working condition.

You may also find that scheduling yearly maintenance and service checks are a condition of your boiler’s warranty.

Give us a call and schedule your yearly boiler maintenance with us today.

Boiler Descaling

Boilers are in need of descaling for numerous reasons.

Some of the main reasons are lack of/or improper chemical treatment, improper boiler “blowdown”, and neglect of frequent boiler water testing!

Depending on your boiler design and size, chemically descaling your boiler may be the most effective and economical way of cleaning the boiler.

If you are experiencing any concerns, call us for a free evaluation.

Stack Installation

The type of stacks and ductwork used in a boiler’s installation can have a major impact on the boiler’s successful operation and safety of the boiler. It’s important to have a smooth transitional flow to maintain proper boiler draft performance. 

The higher combustion intensity of certain units can become more susceptible to upsets in the flow of flue gas downstream of the furnace. This type of upset or turbulence often feeds back into the combustion chamber, resulting in combustion noise or rumbling. This can easily damage equipment.

Our team can fully evaluate your boiler’s stacks and alleviate any problems you may have.

We deal with single wall stacks, double-wall stacks, insulated and non-insulated stacks – depending on your application. 

Tank Repairs

In the US, it is required that all Code tank repairs and alterations be made in accordance with National Board Code. At ACSI Mechanical Group, our professional team is fully certified and can handle any pressure vessel tank repairs you may need. 

Moreover, our team’s deep knowledge of all particular tank specifics, allows us to make on-demand repairs as needed. We are licensed, fully insured, and have the stellar reputation that comes with 37 years of service in our respective field!

Refractories are ceramic materials designed to withstand unusually high temperatures while maintaining structural integrity. More heat-resistant than metals, they line the hot surfaces found in several processes in modern manufacturing.

Most often made of ceramics and used in metallurgical, glassmaking, and ceramics industries, refractories line devices like furnaces and kilns, which process materials at high temperatures. In addition to being heat-resistant, they must also be resistant to thermal shock, which occurs when an object is cooled from a high temperature quickly.

Refractories are built to withstand the test of time, lasting up to ten years. But aging is inevitable, especially due to the high temperatures they endure. Luckily, there are a few telltale signs you should watch out for that will let you know it’s time to replace them. These include cracks more than 1/16” thick, any crumbling, or any pieces coming off completely.

While they have many industrial uses, refractories are also present in kilns, smoke stacks, and fireplaces. The manufacturing sector, however, uses refractory materials on a much larger scale and requires the proper care while being serviced yearly for boiler inspections.

Why ACSI Mechanical Group?

In addition to being the top burner specialists, ACSI Mechanical Group is one of the few groups across the country that offer combustion-related full refractory products and services.

This aligns seamlessly with our portfolio of services that we offer to all of our clients. We will successfully handle all your refractory needs and work seamlessly for both your boiler and refractory project needs.

We have the proven methodology and industry experience that enables us to consult with your team while offering you the most cost-effective solutions.

Refractory Services and Installation

At American Refractories, we are dedicated to determining the most appropriate and economical refractory solution for your particular situation. We are proud to offer heat-resistant refractory linings with premium insulation value, higher resistance to thermal shock, faster heating and cooling of the combustion chamber, and greater overall efficiency.

First, we identify the refractory liner most suitable for an application. To do so, we assess the frequency of on-off cycling, insulation value, jacket appearance, thermal shock, exposure to chemical agents, catalytic heat, and combustion efficiency.

Our ACSI Refractory engineers can also provide the custom molds that are required for your total solution. These are made by mixing high-temperature ceramic materials to form burner blocks that withstand up to 2100°F. We also consider the weight of the lining, accurately identifying it across a weight spectrum to prevent potential cracking due to stress. We have the industry expertise to make certain all of your refractory requirements are handled to your full satisfaction.

We are proud to say that ACSI Mechanical Group’s refractory services often add years to a boiler’s operation.

We Offer All Types of Boilers and Furnaces

ACSI Mechanical Group’s refractory services accommodate all types of boilers and furnaces. This includes:

• Industrial ovens

ACSI Mechanical Group recently installed a new boiler, a high-efficiency burner, an economizer and related energy saving equipment to help a local hospital save energy costs.

A boiler is only as efficient as the burner it is mated to, and ACSI Mechanical Group installed one of the most efficient burners available. At most, the old burner was 76 to 78 percent efficient. The new burner will offer increased commodity saving of 80 to 85 percent!

To capture further savings, the client also elected to install an economizer too. Since the facility couldn’t shut down for work to be completed, the utilities remained operational while the older unit was safely disconnected and removed.
