Water Filtration Included
Bad piping destroys expensive equipment
Your $8,000 espresso machine or $12,000 ice machine is only as good as the water supply and drainage connected to it. Improper piping causes low pressure, scale damage, backflow contamination, and warranty-voiding leaks.
New equipment, no water hookup
Your new ice machine, steamer, or dishwasher is sitting on the floor waiting for someone to connect water supply, drainage, and possibly a dedicated circuit. You need it running by opening day
Low water pressure to equipment
Your espresso machine struggles, your ice machine produces half-capacity, and your steamer takes forever. Undersized supply lines are choking your equipment
Scale destroying your machines
NYC water is hard. Without proper filtration between the supply line and your equipment, scale builds up inside and kills machines years before their time
Drain problems flooding your floor
Your dishwasher overflows, your ice machine drain backs up, or your steamer condensate has nowhere to go. Improper drainage turns equipment into a flood risk
We had 4 different plumbers try to hook up our La Marzocca espresso system. None of them understood the pressure requirements. Art HVAC got it right on the first visit — proper pressure, filtration, and drainage. The machine runs perfectly.

FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Practical answers about equipment piping.
Any commercial equipment that connects to water supply or drainage should be professionally piped — ice machines, espresso systems, dishwashers, steamers, combi ovens, water heaters, chillers, and coffee brewers. Improper hookups cause low performance, equipment damage, and code violations.
In NYC, absolutely yes. New York City water contains minerals that cause scale buildup inside equipment — reducing performance, increasing energy use, and shortening machine life dramatically. We install the right filter for each machine: sediment filters for dishwashers, carbon filters for coffee, and scale inhibitors for ice machines and steamers.
A backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing backward into the clean water supply. NYC code requires backflow prevention on all commercial equipment connections. Without one, your business fails inspection and your water supply is at risk of contamination. We install the correct type for every application.
Yes — we regularly relocate commercial equipment during kitchen renovations and layout changes. We cap the old connections, run new supply and drain lines to the new location, and reconnect everything to spec. We also update any permits if required.
A single equipment hookup (ice machine, dishwasher, espresso) typically takes 2-4 hours. A full kitchen build-out with multiple pieces of equipment takes 1-3 days depending on complexity and access. We coordinate with your equipment delivery schedule to minimize downtime.
