Expansions & Retrofits
Extend system life, increase capacity, and improve energy efficiency with turnkey retrofit and expansion solutions.
Proven Expertise
Zero Downtime
No Vendor Lock-In
Transform Your Entire System
Expand capacity, modernize infrastructure, and improve efficiency through targeted refrigeration system upgrades. Our integrated solutions address mechanical, electrical, and controls performance together, delivering system-wide improvements while operations stay online.
System Retrofits
Innovative modernizes aging refrigeration systems while facilities remain fully operational. New systems are built, commissioned, and tested in parallel with existing equipment, allowing a seamless transition. This approach eliminates shutdowns, product loss, and operational interruptions.
Parallel Replacement
New systems are installed alongside existing equipment and transitioned without shutdowns. Operations continue with no product loss or production disruption.
Risk Reduction
Retrofits address regulatory, safety, and reliability risks tied to aging systems. Upgrades improve compliance, uptime, and long-term performance.
Freon Conversion
Converting HFC-based Freon systems to natural refrigerants such as ammonia or CO₂ reduces AIM Act phasedown risk and long-term cost uncertainty. Our streamlined retrofit approach minimizes downtime and maximizes reuse of existing equipment, positioning facilities for improved efficiency, long-term refrigerant availability, and sustained regulatory compliance.
Expansions
Innovative approaches expansions as integrated system upgrades, not just added capacity. Every expansion is engineered to align with existing operations, safety requirements, and long-term facility goals. The result is growth that strengthens the entire refrigeration system rather than creating future problems.
Systems Integration
Expansions are engineered as part of the full refrigeration system, not as standalone additions; preventing bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and reliability issues.
Operational Continuity
Expansions are phased to keep facilities running without interruption. Planning aligns with production, storage demands, and maintenance workflows.
Controls Retrofits
Controls retrofits at Innovative go beyond hardware replacement. Engineering expertise is applied to optimize the entire refrigeration system, improving safety, efficiency, and operational visibility. Controls are designed to support overall facility performance, not just basic operation.
System Optimization
Controls coordinate loads, compressors, and defrosts across the facility. Performance adjusts to operational demand and energy conditions.
Long-Term Support
Controls use commercially available platforms with no vendor lock-in. Engineers provide ongoing remote support to resolve issues quickly.
