Your cooling tower works hard throughout the operating season, but without proper water treatment, monitoring, and maintenance, it can create conditions that allow Legionella bacteria to grow. New York City saw the seriousness of this risk during the 2025 Central Harlem outbreak, which resulted in 118 cases of Legionnaires’ disease and 7 deaths. Following the […]

If you’ve started looking into cooling tower replacement services in New Jersey, you’ve probably noticed that it’s hard to find a clear price.  That’s because the final cost depends on several factors, including the size of your cooling tower, the type of replacement, site access, and how quickly the work needs to be done. This […]

Cooling towers play an important role in removing heat from commercial and industrial facilities, but their long-term performance depends on more than just the initial construction. Proper design, quality installation, water treatment, routine inspections, and ongoing maintenance all contribute to how efficiently and reliably a cooling tower operates over time. As industries continue upgrading aging […]

In any commercial or industrial building, few mechanical systems are as essential (or as complex) as the cooling tower installation. Whether supporting hospitals, manufacturing plants, universities, data centers, or mixed-use developments, the cooling tower forms the backbone of a building’s HVAC system. Unlike simple HVAC units, cooling towers are engineered systems that reject heat from […]

Cooling towers are often one of the largest sources of water consumption in commercial and industrial facilities. While some water loss through evaporation and blowdown is a normal part of operation, inefficient controls, poor water chemistry, and deferred maintenance can increase water use and operating costs over time. Understanding how water moves through your system […]

Rising energy costs and growing pressure to run leaner operations have made HVAC system efficiency more critical than ever.   As demand for commercial HVAC systems continues to grow, businesses are placing greater emphasis on reliable cooling infrastructure and practical ways to improve energy efficiency. A cooling tower plays a significant role in both system performance […]

Keeping large commercial buildings cool has always been expensive, and the stakes are rising even more.  The global cooling towers market is projected to grow from $4.40 billion in 2025 to $6.98 billion by 2033, driven by demand for smarter, more sustainable infrastructure.  For facility managers, this growth indicates a simple truth: cooling towers and […]

Cooling towers are designed to move large volumes of air and water efficiently. However, without the right components in place, even a well-maintained system can hemorrhage water and drive up operating costs. It is believed that a typical 1,000-ton cooling tower can lose approximately 216 gallons of water per day, translating to higher water bills, […]

TL;DR Many cooling tower issues develop gradually and are easy to miss until performance starts to suffer or unexpected repairs become necessary. Regular professional cleaning helps assess system condition, address buildup before it becomes a larger issue, and support a practical maintenance strategy that keeps commercial and industrial cooling systems operating reliably throughout the entire […]

Across the United States, numerous cooling tower companies serve industrial plants, commercial buildings, HVAC systems, and power generation facilities. Some concentrate on large field-erected towers built for heavy thermal loads. Others specialize in corrosion-resistant materials, modular configurations, or simplified maintenance strategies. At Pinnacle CTS, we’ve installed, rebuilt, inspected, and maintained [...]
