High End Residential

One of our most exciting markets is the High End Residential market. This market holds an unusual niche in the industry. These single family residences, some with construction costs greater than $ 20 million dollars present a very challenging, but rewarding task.

Our design expertise is invaluable to custom home builders and homeowners. While typical residential contractors provide 'cookie cutter' or 'off the shelf' heating and air-conditioning systems, we tailor the mechanical system to the homeowners, meeting their desired comfort levels as well as integrating the system components into their interior finishes smoothly. The most aesthetically pleasing home, with an improperly designed or installed plumbing and mechanical system, can be a nightmare for the homeowner being both uncomfortable and costly. We pride ourselves in addressing all aspects of the plumbing and mechanical systems to assure a quiet, comfortable, and efficient installation.

Emerging technologies such as geothermal heat pumps, residential modular water chillers, hot water radiant floors and panels, and solar thermal heat provide us with a multitude of design options to achieve optimal comfort and efficiency levels within the home. System components formerly regarded as commercial grade are now incorporated into the design scheme for the custom home market. Sound attenuators, Variable Air Volume Systems, Variable Frequency Drives and Direct Digital Control systems are now integrated into these custom homes. Homeowners can now view and adjust temperature and humidity levels remotely from their laptop computer. If a comfort complaint is found, our technician's can look at the system remotely through an internet connection and evaluate faults.

With these emerging technologies it is a necessary that we maintain a level of expertise required to install these systems. Our field staff is comprised of experienced tradesmen with an average of 25-30 years experience in the trade.

The added value that J.S. Mortimer can provide is our experience and quality of workmanship. Our pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC mechanics are true craftsman who are extremely proud of their work.

For the same reason that you should avoid hiring a production home builder to construct your custom home, you shouldn't hire a standard residential mechanical contractor to provide the core systems. When you are dealing with one of the biggest investments of your life, you will need somebody who understands the intricacies of the custom home market and the challenges of installing the mechanical systems in it.
