Commercial Hydronic Systems and Services

At Liberty Mechanical in Lincoln, NE, we provide expert design, installation, and maintenance of commercial hydronic systems, including water source piping, chilled water, and boiler systems.

What is a Hydronic System?

Hydronics is the use of water or other liquids to transfer heat in heating and cooling systems. Rather than moving air through ductwork, hydronic systems circulate water through a network of pipes to deliver precise, efficient thermal control throughout a commercial building or facility. These systems are common in large commercial buildings, industrial facilities, healthcare environments, and multi-use developments — and they require a specialized level of expertise to install and maintain correctly.



Liberty Mechanical specializes in commercial hydronic systems, bringing deep technical knowledge and the certifications required for this demanding discipline. With our ASME IX brazing certification and years of hands-on commercial hydronic experience, we handle the full lifecycle of hydronic systems — from new installation to ongoing service and repair.

Chilled Water Systems

Chilled water systems are used in commercial facilities to provide large-scale cooling without the inefficiency of traditional refrigerant-based systems. A central chiller produces cold water that is then distributed through insulated piping to air handling units throughout the building. These systems are more energy-efficient at scale and offer more precise temperature control than conventional HVAC systems.


Installing a chilled water system requires expertise in hydraulic design, pipe sizing, insulation, and system balancing. Liberty Mechanical has the experience to design and install chilled water piping systems that meet the performance requirements of your facility while minimizing installation costs and long-term energy consumption.
