Controls upgrade
Replace leaking pneumatic and obsolete proprietary controls with open digital controls — without replacing your equipment.

- Serving the GTA since 2001
Aging pneumatic lines and obsolete proprietary controls waste energy every month. We convert legacy systems to open-protocol direct digital control (DDC), which fixes temperature swings, prevents lockouts and gives you diagnostic visibility.
What we do
Pneumatic-to-DDC conversion
Retire the compressor and the drift.
- Remove or bypass old compressors, tubing and bleed-type thermostats
- Install digital sensors, controllers and electronic actuators
- End calibration drift and compressed-air maintenance
Controller and sequence optimization
Smarter logic for the equipment you already own.
- ASHRAE Guideline 36 sequences for VAVs, air handlers and chiller plants
- Replace hard-coded proprietary programming with open logic
- Swap discontinued devices for BACnet-compatible controllers
Calibration and commissioning audits
Make sure what the system reads is what’s really happening.
- Recalibrate temperature, humidity and pressure transmitters
- Verify actuator stroke and damper seals
- Recalibrate flow meters and hydronic valves
Pneumatic vs. modern DDC
| Capability | Legacy pneumatic | Modern DDC |
|---|---|---|
| Control accuracy | Low — affected by leaks and drift | High — precise digital feedback |
| Remote visibility | None — needs on-site checks | Full — live web dashboard |
| Maintenance | High — compressor oil, dryers, tubing | Low — solid-state electronics |
| Energy efficiency | Poor — constant offsets, manual tuning | Optimized by automated sequences |
Common questions
No. Existing boilers, chillers and air handlers can usually be fitted with DDC controllers and actuators, improving efficiency without major equipment replacement.
