At Edwards McDowell Inc. we believe that it’s not just having the equipment or the tools that make the project a success. Our greatest asset is the experienced teams of people we bring to the project that makes our company stand out from our competitors. We build relationships with our customers! - Tim Nydegger, President


About Edwards McDowell, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Kansas in 1972. We have experience in overseeing complete HVAC system installations, managing specialty subcontractors, i.e., plumbing, electrical, temperature controls, insulation and test & balance. We coordinate with other trades for on-time and cost-effective project completions. Our firm specializes in planned maintenance, mechanical repair, temperature control systems, sheet metal systems and duct fabrication services.

IntroductionWe specialize in mechanical construction management, design build, sheet metal fabrication, planned maintenance, manufacturing, service, retrofit, construction services, hydronic / refrigerant piping & HVAC Microguard applications. Our experienced professional project managers, and trade technicians work hard to understand and meet each customer’s needs. Our goals are simple: to provide exceptional value through professional service and quality workmanship, and provide it safely.

EMI is recognized for proving job after job, that early planning and the use of prefabrication is not only fast, efficient and accurate, but also allows the client to be assured a superior finished installation. Our 40,000 square foot fabrication, warehouse and office facility is located on 4 acres with over 25,000 square feet of indoor manufacturing and warehouse space along with additional outside fabrication preassembly and staging areas.

Our philosophy is believing everything we do; we perform at a higher level of quality. At EMI we can tackle your most challenging projects! Our experienced staff can bring all elements of any mechanical project under one team for single-point-of-contact responsibility. Our relationship prepared approach with our customers is brought to bear adding value for the customer at every step of the project……

EMI offers a product called MicroGuard® HVAC/R protective treatments which is designed for use on heating and air conditioning equipment; coils, fins, tubes, fans and even cabinets. These products can be installed on units

before installation or on previously installed field units with equal success. MicroGuard® HVAC/R protective treatments retard corrosion on the non-ferrous metal fins and tubes, thus, extending the life of the equipment asset and helping to maintain good air flow efficiencies. This fact has been substantiated by numerous salt chamber tests using ASTM B-117. Coated aluminum fin stock was subjected to well in excess of 6,000 hours in the salt spray chamber and showed no consequential degradation, due to corrosion; 30% better than our next closest competitor.

In addition, the cured film of MicroGuard® HVAC/R protective treatments will not support mold growth. The completely inorganic nature of the cured film presents no nutrient source for mold. Plus, the cured film exhibits a slight positive charge, which acts as a natural “repelling” action for mold spores, dirt and other organic debris, so fins and coils are more easily cleaned, during normal service maintenance cycles. This single important feature may be the most significant variable for maintaining better indoor air quality.

Further, testing by both independent third party sources and by numerous internal studies has shown that HVAC/R Units coated with MicroGuard® protective treatments will operate more efficiently and can save up to 15% or more in energy costs. Results can vary and periodic cleaning of the coils & fins will contribute to maintaining the efficient operation of the unit

In addition to saving energy, the MicroGuard® clear treatment can also extend the operating life of the HVAC/R equipment asset. This is particular true in coastal salt spray environments, arid desert environments or around heavily industrialized exposures. Anywhere corrosive environments can significantly shorten the life expectancy of HVAC/R equipment. MicroGuard® HVAC/R Clear Protective Treatments can be applied to equipment before installation, or in the field post installation with equal success. Energy savings and asset longevity make MicroGuard® the correct choice.

Whether your needs are for Industrial Maintenance coatings for plant equipment, or protecting numerous surfaces within a building envelope, or protecting HVAC/R equipment assets, EMI can provide you with high-performance, cost-effective coating solutions with its MicroGuard® product line.

MicroGuard® can also be used for a variety of applications such as Anti-Graffiti, Corrosion Protection, Concrete Surface Sealer, Tile Surface Sealer & Anti-Skid. So give us a call today and let EMI protect your investment!

Safety “First”EMI is dedicated to achieving a zero injury workplace. We empower every employee and hold them responsible for eliminating the barriers that prevent us from achieving a zero injury culture. We believe that all incidents are preventable and that safety will take priority over production, scheduling and cost.

In the construction industry, we have often heard that it is impossible to integrate safety into our projects and be profitable. We disagree with this and have set forth policies and procedures that make working safely the way we do business. Our dedicated team of professionals plan safety throughout every aspect of our work, from the bidding process through the actual field work. Working safely is our way of life.

Our expectations and goals are to complete our work accident and incident free. In order to achieve our goals we believe in Leadership, Training, Communication and Monitoring. These values are reinforced by EMI, which strictly follows all OSHA guidelines. All EMI field personnel have completed the OSHA 10 Hour and 30 Hour Safety Certification.

Providing a safe work environment, free of known hazards. Through pre-planning, hazards are minimized or eliminated. Through training in safe work practices and the use of proper personal protective equipment, protection for hazards that cannot be eliminated is provided.

Requiring pre-planning of every aspect of our work. A safe plan of work is developed prior to start-up of a project and discussed with all employees involved. Employees are required to attend daily and weekly tool-box meetings that discuss that day’s tasks, including hazards and methods for eliminating or minimizing those hazards. Employee input is encouraged during these meetings.

We continually communicate EMI’s expectations to our employees. Communication is a very important part of our safety program. We not only communicate our expectations to our employees, we also encourage feedback so everyone takes ownership. Some of the forms of communication are: Toolbox Safety Meetings, Job Safety Analyses, and Safety Stand-Downs

Take a look at one of our “BlueDuct” projects!Lee’s Summit Police Station Gun Range

Durable, Completely-sealed Underground Air-duct System-Proven to Last!

At EMI, we aren’t afraid of challenges; one that was presented was the Lee’s Summit Police Station Gun Range. Instead of the traditional suspended ductwork we went to the underground system called BlueDuct. This underground air duct system for heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) made it possible. The BlueDuct is the only proven, direct-burial underground duct system made from ultra-durable, advanced HDPE (high-density polyethylene). The products are engineered to protect against corrosion, mold and mildew, radon, rust, water and air leaks. The BlueDuct systems have been installed in thousands of buildings, for over a decade, with trouble-free, long-term performance.

Direct-burial system, requires no insulation, drain tile or cement trench structures

Offers energy savings and is eligible to earn LEED credits No PVC coating, no VOCs Engineering and CAD service EMI has on staff certified installers

For several years EMI has taken the lead using Building Information Model (BIM) on various projects and is a proponent of a fully integrated and coordinated process. Maximum utilization of BIM is crucial to the owner, design and construction team’s ability to: Visualize the building before it’s

It’s simple: Design/Build allows for reduced project delivery time and cost by performing many tasks in parallel rather than the traditional series approach. The traditional method is to go through the engineering phase, then put the drawings out to bid. Most often bids come in overthebudget.Theprojectthenhastogothroughbudgetmodificationsand/orredesignaddingmonths to the schedule. The design/build method allows the design and pricing to be done in parallel keeping the design within the project budget the first time.

EMI offers a product called MicroGuard® HVAC/R protective treatments which is designed for use on heating and air conditioning equipment; coils, fins, tubes, fans and even cabinets. These products can be installed on units

before installation or on previously installed field units with equal success. MicroGuard® HVAC/R protective treatments retard corrosion on the non-ferrous metal fins and tubes, thus, extending the life of the equipment asset and helping to maintain good air flow efficiencies. This fact has been substantiated by numerous salt chamber tests using ASTM B-117. Coated aluminum fin stock was subjected to well in excess of 6,000 hours in the salt spray chamber and showed no consequential degradation, due to corrosion; 30% better than our next closest competitor.

In addition, the cured film of MicroGuard® HVAC/R protective treatments will not support mold growth. The completely inorganic nature of the cured film presents no nutrient source for mold. Plus, the cured film exhibits a slight positive charge, which acts as a natural “repelling” action for mold spores, dirt and other organic debris, so fins and coils are more easily cleaned, during normal service maintenance cycles. This single important feature may be the most significant variable for maintaining better indoor air quality.

Further, testing by both independent third party sources and by numerous internal studies has shown that HVAC/R Units coated with MicroGuard® protective treatments will operate more efficiently and can save up to 15% or more in energy costs. Results can vary and periodic cleaning of the coils & fins will contribute to maintaining the efficient operation of the unit

In addition to saving energy, the MicroGuard® clear treatment can also extend the operating life of the HVAC/R equipment asset. This is particular true in coastal salt spray environments, arid desert environments or around heavily industrialized exposures. Anywhere corrosive environments can significantly shorten the life expectancy of HVAC/R equipment. MicroGuard® HVAC/R Clear Protective Treatments can be applied to equipment before installation, or in the field post installation with equal success. Energy savings and asset longevity make MicroGuard® the correct choice.

Whether your needs are for Industrial Maintenance coatings for plant equipment, or protecting numerous surfaces within a building envelope, or protecting HVAC/R equipment assets, EMI can provide you with high-performance, cost-effective coating solutions with its MicroGuard® product line.

MicroGuard® can also be used for a variety of applications such as Anti-Graffiti, Corrosion Protection, Concrete Surface Sealer, Tile Surface Sealer & Anti-Skid. So give us a call today and let EMI protect your investment!

This design-build project faced some challenges due to the location of the equipment as well as the type of use of the facility. Working with the architect we were able to provide the solution to install a system that was very energy efficient, stay within budget and most importantly, a HVAC system that’s quiet during church services.
