Daikin acquires New York contractor

USA: Daikin Applied Americas has acquired New-York-based customised HVAC solutions provider Modular Comfort Systems.

Modular Comfort Systems has around 75 employees across offices in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, NY. The firm provides specialised commercial and industrial HVAC solutions. 

As part of the acquisition, the Daikin Applied service technicians in the region will join the company.

In 2023, New York State codified the Climate Act into law, detailing decarbonisation requirements for new buildings and accelerating the need for more sustainable and efficient HVAC solutions. According to the companies, the integration of Daikin Applied and Modular Comfort Systems will provide customers with end-to-end solutions to address regulations and help mitigate environmental impact.  

“With changing regulations on the horizon, our customers need energy-efficient, low-carbon solutions for their buildings and facilities, and we can support this growing need by investing in Modular Comfort Systems,” said Yu Nishiwaki, COO of Daikin Applied Americas.

“Modular Comfort Systems has been a leading sales engineering firm in upstate New York for over 50 years, and their expertise has resulted in top-tier performance and efficiency for their customers,” he added.
