Project Summary:
Crawford Company partnered with Russell Construction on Hyatt House/Hyatt Place, located at The Bend in East Moline, IL. Crawford was the HVAC contractor on the project, that took approximately 15 months to complete. Hyatt House/Hyatt Place is comprised of nine floors that include 233 hotel rooms, 3 meeting areas and 3 restaurants.
Starting from the top down, the Sky Lounge was furnished with a large roof top unit. It is fully ducted above a hard lid ceiling, and trimmed out with linear diffusers that feed the perimeter, to provide conditioning to the space in and around the large windows.
Throughout the upper corridors and first floor, are two dedicated outdoor air units that provide fresh air to the building. Each suite is outfitted with a Friedrich VTAC unit, and thermostat that conditions the space. All VTAC units have an exterior grill, powder coated to match the exterior section to which it is attached. A Broan bath fan was installed in each suite’s bathroom.
On the first floor, Crawford installed a fully functional commercial kitchen hood, dishwasher hood, and make air unit. The installation of the kitchen hood required welded duct to be installed in a shaft, that runs continuously, exiting the roof. The welded duct has clean outs with access doors on every other floor.
The lobby and dining areas are conditioned with highly efficient heat pump systems. Each system has a secondary electric heater mounted in the supply air ducts. The IT rooms are conditioned with ductless mini-splits.
Ductwork for the indoor pool was fabricated from high grade aluminum, and well insulated, to resist years of chlorine exposure and high humidity. Crawford also fabricated large stainless-steel planter box liners.
Throughout this project Crawford HVAC foreman and apprentices experienced adverse weather, from record breaking sub-zero temperatures to extreme heat. Through it all, this project went from slabs of concrete to a hotel, in the blink of an eye.

WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING
I am writing to acknowledge the quality serviceman employed by Crawford Co. I am a 65-year-old woman whose husband was out of town. I came home at eleven p.m. with the temperatures at minus nine degrees to a broken furnace. The house was at 59 degrees and I didn’t have a clue what to do. I called my husband who walked me through a couple of simple options to try to jump start the furnace. When that failed, he suggested I call Crawford. Thankfully, a serviceman called me back. I didn’t want him to come out again in the cold, so I asked him if he could talk me through a possible easy fix. He tried so patiently to help me and then decided it would be best for him to come to the house. As grateful as I was he was willing to drive from DeWitt, I was nervous about having a stranger come to the house in the middle of the night. (Old ladies worry about that.) First and foremost, when you call Crawford you can be sure of quality service, I know that. The young man, Drew, came promptly to the house and handled the situation as you would expect him to do. What was exemplary was his understanding of my upset and was pleasant, confident, capable and very reassuring. In the middle of the bitterly cold night, this man explained what he was doing in “my” terms, totally repaired and cleaned the furnace, checked flues outside and made me feel safe and warm. Those are things that company training cannot instill in a person. I thank Crawford for employing this man and I thank Drew for helping me when I was most upset. My hope is that he would be recognized and rewarded for his abilities to do his job, but also his kindness and understanding of people.
