The Polaris HVAC Collaboration
18 Trades Blvd • James Pelletier
How Trades Blvd Works
James Pelletier runs Polaris HVAC at 18 Trades Blvd — four doors down from Marco. They've been neighbors for fifteen years and have worked together on hundreds of jobs. When HVAC meets plumbing, they operate as one team.
The Challenge
A large commercial building in the Financial District needed a complete HVAC overhaul. The existing hydronic heating system was failing, and the condensate drainage was improperly routed. The general contractor wanted two separate subcontractors. James and Marco proposed a better way.
By coordinating schedules and sharing system maps, they could do the job faster, cleaner, and cheaper. One set of wall penetrations instead of two. One coordinated inspection instead of separate visits. One invoice for the plumbing, one for the HVAC, both aligned.
The Result
The project finished ahead of schedule. The hydronic connections were clean and properly valved. The condensate lines drained correctly from day one. The building owner saved two days of labor and avoided the coordination headaches that usually come with multi-trade projects.
"When we run into a water situation on an HVAC job — and we do — there's one call I make. Marco knows what we need and he moves fast."
— James Pelletier, Polaris HVAC
