Before We Build

Site visit and measurements matched to your curb and duct layout.

Service Access

Standard commercial parts. Any qualified tech can maintain the unit and keep the warranty valid.

When the equipment does not match the building, you pay twice

Catalog rooftop units rarely match your curb, zones, or electrical layout. Old multizone gear mixes hot and cold air to hit setpoint. When a constant volume unit fails in a school, hospital, or data-heavy facility, every hour offline shows up on someone's report.

When steel is cut to field measurements, surprises disappear.

Product lines

Multizone HVAC and Rooftop Screening

Every product line is custom built to order from one Ponca City campus. Multizone HVAC and rooftop screening are our core work—with in-house powder coat through Custom Powder and Blasting (CPB) when your job needs one responsible shop.

Multizone HVAC (PMZ3)
Core product line

Multizone HVAC (PMZ3)

Custom penthouse multizone units, 5–45 tons and 1–18 zones, with independent heating and cooling per zone and no mechanical reheat of cooled air. BACnet controls, field-verified dimensions before fabrication, and lower operating cost than traditional hot deck and cold deck replacements.

Why CME

This is what matters when the unit has to fit the roof, pass inspection, and stay serviceable for years to come.

Built to Your Building

Every PMZ and enclosure is custom built to order from field measurements and your zone layout. We coordinate with your engineer and contractor before steel is cut so curb height, duct connections, and electrical feeds match the drawings.

No Reheat Waste

Traditional multizone systems mix hot and cold air to hit setpoint. You pay twice for the same Btu. CME zones run independently, so you stop mechanically reheating air you already cooled. Owners see the difference on utility bills after retrofit.

Code-Ready Documentation

Built to the standards your job requires: GAMA, Energy Star, UL Listed, AGA, CGA, and ARI Standard 240 where applicable. Submittals and shop drawings support the inspection path your AHJ expects.

From Spec to Startup

Engineering support during design, coordination through fabrication, and field presence at install and startup. When the schedule compresses, you talk to people who built the unit.

Any Tech Can Service It

Variable-speed blowers, BACnet controls, and conventional refrigerant circuits use standard commercial parts. Your service contractor can maintain the warranty without a factory-only truck roll.

Case Study

Canyon High School · PMZ Multizone Retrofit

40.7%

Reduction in electricity use

$146,188

Annual energy cost savings

In Summer 2022, Canyon High School upgraded to CME PMZ multizone systems. Three years of utility data show the impact: 1,274,206 kWh less electricity per year, 40.7% lower consumption, and $146,188 in annual combined gas and electric savings. Improved zone control eliminated simultaneous heating and cooling — and consumption keeps trending down.

Testimonials

What Contractors and Engineers Report Back

From reps, integrators, and owners who have had our equipment in the field.

Manufacturer's rep · Commercial HVAC specification

“CME answers the phone, knows the product line, and follows through. From first inquiry to startup, they treated our schedule like it mattered. I specify them to owners who need a mechanical partner they can count on .”

Tony Finch, P.E.

Capital Engineering Sales Manager · Texas AirSystems

Electrical racks & skid buildings · Multi-project fabrication partner

“We have purchased hundreds of electrical racks, more than a dozen skid-mounted buildings, and a long list of custom fabricated items from CME. When our scope changes mid-job, they adapt. They go the extra mile so we can deliver a solid product to our clients.”

Colby Brock

General Manager

Tight schedules & equipment lead times · Rep firm partnership

“Tight lead times and compressed schedules are normal for us. Connor and the CME team know the equipment, show up when the job gets hard, and stay committed until each project is done . That is why we keep sending work their way.”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What mechanical contractors, engineers, and facility managers ask before the first submittal.

How disruptive is a Multizone replacement project?

Custom Mechanical Equipment works around your schedule to get your project done. As the PMZ3 is a perfect replacement for traditional multiline systems already on buildings, we don't have to do any rework inside of the building itself. We come out to measure the existing curb and supply ductwork, designing our unit to match your building's current conditions.

How do you estimate potential energy savings?

We look at your existing equipment, operating schedule, and utility rates, then model how a PMZ Multizone system would perform for your building. Case studies like Canyon High School's 40.7% reduction in electricity use help ground those estimates in real-world results.

Will the system integrate with our current building automation?

Yes. PMZ Multizone units ship with BACnet IP or MS/TP controls so they can integrate with most modern building automation systems. Part of our upfront review is confirming how the new equipment will tie into your existing controls and what, if any, adjustments are needed.

When should rooftop screening be coordinated?

Ideally, screening is coordinated during design development or early in the submittal process so it can be detailed alongside the HVAC equipment layout. CME is frequently brought in late and can still help you avoid delays by moving quickly once the rooftop layout is confirmed.

Can CME work with our local contractor and architect?

Yes. Most projects involve a local mechanical contractor and an architect of record. CME coordinates with both teams to review the rooftop layout, screening requirements, and color selections so the final system fits the building and complies with local expectations.

What is the typical lead time for rooftop screening?

Lead times depend on project size and finish selections, but our standard screens usually take 8-12 weeks, while our louvered systems take about 12-14 weeks. There are occasions when we can meet shorter timelines if necessary; during your discovery call, CME can provide a project-specific lead time range.

Have a project on the board?

Send your schedule, zone count, and preliminary tonnage. We reply within one business day with next steps and a real person on the line. A 15-minute call is enough to see if CME fits your job. No obligation.
