Smarter Refrigeration Controls Start Here

Monday, May 12th, 2025

Intelligent. Efficient. Innovative. Refrigeration-IQ™ represents a new era of refrigeration control—where simplicity meets advanced performance. At Egan Company, it’s not about adding complexity, but about rethinking the standard to make systems smarter, more efficient, and more intuitive from the ground up. We had the chance to sit down with  Dan Reintjes, Industrial Controls Project Manager and Tim Leahy, Industrial Controls Operations Supervisor for an inside look at  everything you need to know about refrigeration controls.

Refrigeration-IQ

What Are Refrigeration Controls and Why Do They Matter?
Refrigeration controls are the systems that manage and regulate how commercial and industrial refrigeration equipment operates. From keeping food safe in massive distribution centers to maintaining precise temperatures in pharmaceutical facilities, these controls ensure everything runs efficiently, reliably, and within strict temperature ranges. It can include sensors, control panels, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote monitoring, and energy management tools—all working together to help facilities reduce waste, avoid costly breakdowns, and optimize performance.

At the center of this evolution is Egan Company’s Refrigeration Controls team, a group known for its deep expertise and hands-on approach. With decades of combined experience, Leahy and Reintjes have helped shape some of the most advanced refrigeration projects across the country.

“We don’t just install a system and move on,” said Reintjes. “We’re thinking about what makes sense for your operators, your equipment, and your long-term goals. We want to leave you with something you understand and can manage—something you own.”

Empowering Operators from Day One
That idea of ownership is central to how Egan designs its Refrigeration-IQ™ systems. Built on an open platform, customers are given full transparency and control—no proprietary lock-ins, no excessive service fees, and no need to go back to the manufacturer for changes. “We’re giving customers the keys,” Leahy said. “Other contractors don’t do that. We want them to have the power to make changes or fixes without going through hoops.”

Refrigeration-IQ

Designed to Fit – Not Force
From brand-new installations to complex retrofits, every system is tailored to the site, operators, and existing infrastructure. Often built and tested in-house, Egan’s solutions are delivered with minimal disruption—even in fully operational facilities.

“In some installs, we didn’t need to shut anything down,” said Reintjes. “It’s about making upgrades seamless.” A standout example? A nationwide rollout of 23 modular refrigeration skids for a confidential distribution client. Every unit was pre-wired, pre-tested, and delivered ready to plug in and power up.

But the team’s real advantage came well before equipment hit the jobsite. “We start every project with boots on the ground,” said Leahy. “Not just quoting off drawings—but walking the space, asking the right questions, and designing for how the system will actually be used.”

Support That Stays
Even after systems go live, support doesn’t stop. Egan’s team provides 24/7 troubleshooting, remote diagnostics, and ongoing optimization. Whether dealing with legacy systems or facilities without documentation, they’re ready to dive in—rewiring, rebuilding, and restoring full functionality with limited downtime.

“We’ve worked in places where nothing was labeled, and nothing had been touched in 30 years,” said Reintjes. “Those jobs don’t intimidate us. That’s where experience really shows.”

Efficiency at the Core
Beyond functionality, Egan’s approach helps customers reduce energy use, prolong equipment life, and cut costs—often without major overhauls. “If a system is running more compressors than necessary, we’ll scale it back,” said Reintjes. “We’ve helped customers avoid energy peaks, lower their utility bills, and run leaner.” And everything—from panel design to programming to construction within Egan’s UL 508A Panel Shop—is fully documented and handed over to the client. It’s a level of transparency that makes long-term system management easier and more cost-effective. For customers looking to modernize, expand, or simply gain more control over their systems, Egan offers more than just installation—they offer partnership.

“We’re here from the first walkthrough to long after the system is up and running,” said Leahy. “Because smarter refrigeration isn’t just about hardware—it’s about the people who use it every day.”

Spring Maintenance: Boiler Teardowns

Thursday, May 8th, 2025

Spring cleaning season is here. For commercial properties, this may look different than raking the yard and emptying the cupboards, but it is equally as important. Taking stock of the condition of commercial equipment is key for ensuring everything is operating the way it should. This is the time of year when mechanical experts and boiler technicians come to life, springing into action to get commercial heating and process equipment in tip-top shape. 

Boiler teardowns typically occur in the spring, as a form of preventative maintenance that keeps the equipment operating at maximum efficiency. By planning ahead and tuning up your equipment, your commercial boilers and burners will be ready to go when you need it most.

WHAT IS A BOILER TEARDOWN?

During a teardown, a boiler technician will disassemble the equipment in order to fully inspect, clean, and conduct necessary service and repairs. While the equipment is decommissioned, technicians “punch” the tubing, cleaning out accumulated soot and debris, maximizing efficiency so your heat, water, and industrial processes are running smoothly. 

Commercial and industrial heating boilers see heavy demand throughout the winter in Minnesota, which can lead to wear and tear over time. Large-scale process boilers and domestic hot water equipment are often used year-round, making regular shutdowns and tune-ups even more important. A full boiler assessment can identify potential corrosion, damage, or other issues before they become too serious. 

GETTING AHEAD WITH PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Setting a schedule for boiler teardowns ensures that maintenance and system cleaning isn’t missed. Depending on the use of the equipment, whether it is used year-round or just in the winter, the boilers and burners should be cleaned regularly, once or even twice a year. Egan Company’s Service team can track your service history and help make sure you don’t miss necessary maintenance. 

Additionally, curtailment rules go into effect in the fall and winter in Minnesota, meaning commercial properties who run Dual Fuel burner systems need to be ready to switch their equipment over to alternative heating methods with short notice. This becomes difficult without proper maintenance and preparation. It all comes down to keeping your building systems working properly, while keeping your operating costs low.

READY, SET, HEAT

Getting ahead of maintenance now can make everything much easier when it’s time to fire up your commercial boilers. The Egan advantage means having a partner for your facility who thinks ahead and looks out for your building and equipment, whether you are running heating equipment, domestic hot water, or industrial process boilers. Our dedicated commercial boiler and burner experts focus on the details of what your equipment needs to perform when it matters most, so you can focus on running your business. Get in touch with our team to learn how we can help conduct boiler teardowns and preventative maintenance for your facility.

For over two decades, Joe Evenson, a Project Manager with Egan Company’s Outdoor Electrical team,  dedicated himself to serving his community as a firefighter and fire captain. With 26 years in the fire service, his role extended far beyond responding to emergencies—it was about leadership, teamwork, and an unwavering commitment to safety and protecting others.

COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
As a Fire Captain, Evenson was responsible for overseeing Station 3 at the Elk River Fire Department, leading his team through training, daily operations, and emergency response. Beyond the station, he also worked duty officer shifts and responded to calls even when off duty. On the scene of a fire, his role was clear: lead from the front, protect his crew, and be the last to leave–prioritizing safety and efficiency in every operation.

Evenson’s passion for firefighting started at an early age, inspired by his father’s 17 years of service. “At a very young age, I knew I wanted to be a firefighter,” Evenson shared. That passion quickly turned into a career built on dedication and service, shaping the way he approached leadership and teamwork. Over the years, he honed his skills in emergency response, mentorship, and problem-solving—qualities that continue to serve him well in his professional life today.

FROM THE  FIREHOUSE TO JOBSITES
This lifelong dedication to service and teamwork has carried over seamlessly into his role at Egan, where he contributes his leadership and expertise in a different way. “Being part of Team Egan is awesome,” said Evenson. “We have a great Safety department, and the crews have whatever tools they need. In the office, we have an incredible team that supports each other every day.” His experience in high-pressure environments and his ability to lead and support a project team make him a valuable part of Egan.

After 26 years of dedicated service, he recently retired from the Elk River Fire Department, closing an incredible chapter of his career. From the firehouse to the jobsite, Evenson’s commitment to safety, teamwork, and excellence continues to leave a lasting impact. His journey reflects the core values of Egan Company—staying safe, promoting teamwork, embracing innovation, acting with integrity, and pursuing growth, all while demonstrating his commitment to excellence in every aspect of his work.

From Blueprint to Skyline: The Expertise Behind Egan’s InterClad Team

Tuesday, April 15th, 2025

Glass, metal, and vision—every iconic project begins with a bold idea and the experts to bring it to life. We caught up with Ryan Woodruff, Vice President of InterClad, and Laura Casas, InterClad Operations Manager, to talk about all things curtainwall, glass, and metal panels—what Egan’s InterClad team does, what sets them apart, and what’s shaping the future of building exteriors.

What is InterClad?
As one of Egan Company’s groups, InterClad is often referenced as its own entity—because at one point, it was. Originally formed in 1998 to serve the growing glazing market, InterClad was briefly considered for a sale before Egan decided to keep it in-house. Today, it’s a fully integrated part of Egan’s multi-trade offering, specializing in exterior building envelope systems.

“InterClad is just another group within Egan, like our mechanical or electrical divisions,” Woodruff explained. “We focus on glass, aluminum framing, curtainwall, metal panels, and everything related to the exterior skin of a building.”

The scope of work for InterClad includes both stick and unitized curtainwall and storefront glazing, metal panel systems, custom fabrication including in house pre-glazing. To support those field and shop activities, InterClad utilizes 3D modeling, BIM coordination, in-house 2D shop drawings, and project management from design through installation. With a union workforce that includes glaziers, ironworkers, and sheet metal workers, Egan’s  InterClad team has steadily grown since its inception, now handling a diverse range of multi-million-dollar high rise, healthcare and multi-family projects, along with a broad array of additional industry sectors.

What Sets InterClad Apart?
Expertise and execution. “It comes down to our people and processes,” Woodruff said. “Our quality control and project management are some of the best in the industry. We’re customer-focused, adaptable, and willing to take whatever steps necessary to deliver.”

Beyond technical expertise, the InterClad team’s ability to leverage Egan’s multi-trade structure sets it apart. “If we run into a challenge, we have an entire company’s worth of resources to pull from—mechanical, electrical, technology,” Casas added. “That’s a huge advantage.”

Egan’s InterClad team has worked on some of the region’s most complex glazing projects, including Minnesota Vikings – U.S. Bank Stadium, Essentia Health – Vision Northland, and Boston Scientific – Maple Grove Campus. Each of these projects require intricate design, technical precision, and the ability to overcome unique challenges in installation and performance.

Despite our robust capabilities, many customers don’t realize Egan does glazing. “Even within the industry, there are people who don’t know the full scope of what we offer,” Woodruff said. “Our estimators have been here for years and are well-known among clients. They help customers with budgeting and design guidance before a project even takes shape.”

Precision, Quality, and Compliance in Building Exteriors
Delivering high-performance building envelopes starts with precision, material selection, and strict quality control. Egan’s fabrication process ensures accuracy at every stage, using a barcode and QR code system to track progress and conduct five quality checks before materials ever reach the field.

Choosing the right materials is equally critical. “System performance is always the priority—structural integrity, thermal efficiency, and air and water resistance all come into play,” Casas explained. “Reliability matters, too. We need to trust our vendors to deliver what they promise. Everything we do is highly spec-driven, so we’re always researching and sourcing the best materials for the job.”

Beyond quality and materials, ensuring code compliance is a key part of the process. “We do thermal modeling, structural calculations, and Design/Assist contracts to ensure compliance from the start,” Woodruff said. “By working closely with architects and general contractors, we can guide material selection and system design to meet performance goals without backpedaling later.”

Where You’ll Find Egan’s InterClad Work
Egan’s InterClad portfolio shapes the Twin Cities skyline, extends across Minnesota, and reaches cities nationwide. Their work spans corporate headquarters, stadiums, hospitals, multi-family housing, and government buildings, delivering high-performance exterior solutions that enhance both aesthetics and functionality.

While some industries, like data centers, require minimal glazing, curtainwall and panel systems are essential for most commercial and institutional buildings—providing natural light, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. From sleek glass facades on modern office towers to durable metal panels on large-scale healthcare facilities, Egan’s expertise plays a key role in shaping the built environment.

What’s Next for the Industry?
The future of curtainwall and glazing is all about bigger, clearer, and more advanced glass. “Larger panels, improved energy efficiency, and robotic and AI-driven installation techniques are trends we expect to see,” Casas said. “The demand for high-performance, sustainable building envelopes will only continue to grow.”

InterClad is at the forefront of these innovations, particularly in sustainability. “Vacuum-insulated glazing and solar glazing—where the glass itself generates power—are among the biggest advancements we’ll see in the next decade,” Woodruff shared.

With a strong foundation of expertise, resources, and forward-thinking solutions, Egan’s InterClad team continues to shape the future of building exteriors.



Maximizing Safety: The Power of Fire Alarm and Life Safety Systems

Friday, March 28th, 2025

From Detection to Protection: Fire Alarms & Life Safety Systems
When you hear “fire alarm,” what comes to mind? Probably a small, round smoke detector mounted on the ceiling that lets out an ear-piercing beep when it senses smoke. But according to Kurt Johnson, Egan Company Director of Sales, and Jeremiah Perkins, Egan Company Service Business Group Manager, fire alarm and life safety systems are much more than that.

“A lot of people don’t realize the full scope of what a fire alarm system can do,” said Johnson. “They think of a smoke alarm, but what we do is far beyond that. We design and install full fire systems—systems that are integrated into a building’s infrastructure to provide early detection, evacuation guidance, and even mass notification in emergencies.” These systems can automatically trigger sprinkler activation, shut down HVAC systems to prevent smoke spread, and send real-time alerts to building occupants and first responders. 

Life safety systems go even further, incorporating emergency lighting, voice evacuation technology, and lockdown capabilities for critical situations. Whether it’s a fire, severe weather, or a security threat, these integrated systems ensure that people receive clear, immediate instructions on how to stay safe. These systems aren’t just reactive—they’re proactive, helping to contain threats before they escalate and ensuring that people know exactly where to go in an emergency.

What Sets Egan Company Apart?
One of the biggest differentiators for Egan is its ability to provide a single-source solution—offering design, installation, and service all under one roof. “We handle everything,” said Perkins. “From the initial design to making sure it’s compliant, to maintaining the system long-term, we take care of it all. That means our customers don’t have to go back and forth between multiple vendors. One call to Egan, and we’ve got it covered.” Another key advantage? Egan’s flexibility. “We tailor-fit to what our customers need,” Johnson added. “Some businesses can’t afford downtime, so we work around their schedules. If that means working overnight or during off-hours, we do it. We’re not rigid with timeframes—we make it work.”

Egan’s fire alarm and life safety expertise extends across various industries, including healthcare, industrial manufacturing, hotels, senior living communities, public housing, and more. “We do apartment and condo buildings, and typically we’re working with property management companies, not individual owners,” Perkins explained. “We also have a lot of projects in hospitality, industrial spaces, and healthcare facilities, where fire and life safety are absolutely critical.”

Staying Ahead of Fire Codes and Compliance
Fire codes are constantly evolving, and businesses must stay compliant to avoid fines and ensure safety. Egan takes a proactive approach to keeping its customers informed.

“We actually have relationships with nearly all the city agencies in the five-county metro,” said Johnson. “That gives us insight into code updates before they even become an issue for our customers. We schedule regular check-ins with our clients—sometimes monthly, sometimes quarterly—to educate them on what’s changing and make sure they’re ahead of compliance issues.”

Another thing that sets Egan apart is its team of NICET-certified fire alarm technicians. “NICET certification isn’t just a quick class,” said Perkins. “It takes years to achieve. You need on-the-job experience, have to pass tough exams, and even complete project reviews. 

Trending: The Shift to Mass Notification & Voice Evacuation
A trend in fire alarm technology is the shift toward mass notification and voice evacuation systems. “Traditional fire alarms just make noise and flash lights,” Johnson explained. “But today, systems can integrate voice messaging, digital signage, and even text alerts. A fire alarm system isn’t just for fires anymore—it can be used for severe weather, security threats, and other emergencies.” Perkins agreed, adding, “mass notification systems are becoming the standard in high-occupancy buildings like schools, hospitals, and corporate campuses. It’s all about clear, immediate communication in an emergency.”

Fire Alarm Installation: Timing is Everything
One of the biggest mistakes in construction is waiting too long to plan fire alarm systems. “Fire alarm systems are often an afterthought,” said Perkins. “People assume they can just be added at the last minute, but that’s not how it works. These systems need to be planned from the start—ideally, right after the building is designed.” Johnson added, “If you wait too long, you run into all kinds of issues—having to retrofit wiring, delays in permitting, and even extra costs. The best time to get us involved is early in the design phase.”

A common misconception is that fire alarm installations are quick and easy. In reality, they require significant planning, engineering, and approvals. “People assume we can be out there installing within a week,” said Johnson. “But just engineering a system takes time. Then, we have to get permits, city approvals, and coordinate with other trades. It’s not as simple as sticking a smoke detector on the ceiling.” Perkins added, “And it’s not just about fire. A lot of people don’t realize how much fire alarm systems do beyond just detecting smoke. They can trigger lockdowns, integrate with security systems, and provide building-wide communication during an emergency.”

What If You’re Unsure About Your Current System?
If a business isn’t sure whether its fire alarm system is up to code or needs an upgrade, the best thing to do is get an assessment. “Just give us a call,” said Perkins. “Egan can come out, take a look at what you have, and guide you through your options. Whether it’s an upgrade, a code compliance check, or just routine maintenance, we can help.”

At the end of the day, fire alarm and life safety systems are about more than just compliance—they’re about protecting people, property, and businesses. And with Egan’s expertise, comprehensive solutions, and commitment to service, customers can trust that their systems are in good hands.
