The New York Yacht Club is a private social club and yacht club based in New York City and Newport, Rhode Island. It was founded in 1844 by nine prominent sportsmen.

We have been providing MEP/FP services to the New York Yacht Club for over 8 years. Our work has included MEP design services for the elimination of the existing Con Edison steam service. Over the course of our work, we have managed:

  • Installation of a gas-fired, condensing type domestic water heater in the cellar mechanical room and removal of the existing steam heat exchanger.
  • Installation of a backup heat exchanger in the cellar mechanical room to create domestic hot water from the existing heating hot water system.
  • Replacement of existing 1st floor steam radiators with hot water type.
  • Removal of existing Con Edison steam service

We also worked on:

  • Fire alarm system repair
  • Study and recommendation on the building HVAC system
  • MEP design for the installation of two decorative natural gas fireplaces
  • Study to enhance domestic hot water reliability and eliminate Con Edison steam service
  • Emergency lighting for the main lobby, grill room & bar room
