Hudson Project Spotlight: Critical Rooftop AC Coil Replacement at a Premier Toronto High-Rise
When the cooling system in a 50-story luxury condominium near Scotiabank Arena failed unexpectedly, Hudson HVAC was called in for an emergency intervention. The malfunction wasnât just a comfort issueâit directly threatened the elevator machine roomâs temperature stability, posing a risk to critical building operations and resident safety.
Rapid Response Under Pressure
Within hours of notification, Hudsonâs emergency response team arrived on site to assess the situation. Our technicians quickly identified a catastrophic refrigerant coil failure within the dedicated machine room air conditioning system. With refrigerant fully discharged and the cooling system offline, immediate action was required to prevent further operational disruptions.
Precision Planning and Execution
Given the equipmentâs rooftop location, this project demanded exceptional logistical coordination. Hudsonâs project management team oversaw a high-elevation replacement process that required specialized hoisting equipment and strict adherence to safety protocols. Every detailâfrom coil transport to lift positioningâwas meticulously planned to ensure seamless execution in a congested downtown environment.

Expert Craftsmanship and Technical Excellence
Once the OEM replacement coil was hoisted into place, Hudsonâs master technicians performed advanced aluminum brazing to achieve perfect joint integrity. The new assembly underwent comprehensive nitrogen pressure testing to confirm a completely leak-free system.
Following verification, the unit was charged with manufacturer-specified R410A refrigerant to precise operating parameters. The result: a flawlessly restored cooling system optimized for long-term reliability and efficiency.

Outcome: Reliability Restored
Through precision, speed, and expertise, Hudson HVAC successfully restored the buildingâs machine room climate controlâsafeguarding elevator performance and ensuring uninterrupted operation for hundreds of residents and staff.
This project exemplifies Hudsonâs commitment to technical excellence, rapid emergency response, and complete client confidenceâeven under the most challenging urban conditions.
