Quick answer: Midwest Cooling Towers (MCT) services factory-assembled cooling towers made by Evapco, Marley, and BAC. Knowing your tower’s manufacturer and model helps our team plan the right service, and our Chickasha, Oklahoma headquarters keeps field service staff and components close to the job.
In our last post, we introduced Midwest Cooling Tower’s expanded factory-assembled cooling tower service and our promise to work on all brands. This post goes a step further. It looks at the three manufacturers we service, Evapco, Marley, and BAC, and at what all-brand service looks like when you need help with your own tower.
Why does the brand of your cooling tower matter for service?
Every manufacturer designs its own models, layouts, and components. Two towers that do the same job can be built very differently on the inside. That is why the first thing a service team wants to know is who made your tower and which model it is.
With that information, the team can plan the right inspection, repair, or replacement without guesswork. An all-brand service provider is set up for that variety, so your service does not depend on which name is on the tower.
Who are Evapco, Marley, and BAC?
All three are established manufacturers of evaporative cooling equipment, and each has a long history in the industry.
Evapco
Evapco was founded in 1976 and is headquartered in Taneytown, Maryland. It is an employee-owned company. Its products include factory-assembled cooling towers, along with closed-circuit coolers and evaporative condensers.
Marley
The Marley name dates back to 1922, when it began in Kansas City, Missouri. SPX Corporation acquired the company in 2001, and Marley cooling towers are now made by SPX Cooling Technologies, based in Overland Park, Kansas.
BAC
Baltimore Aircoil Company, known as BAC, was founded in Baltimore in 1938 and is headquartered in Jessup, Maryland. It has been a subsidiary of Amsted Industries since 1985. Its products include cooling towers, closed-circuit coolers, and evaporative condensers.
Midwest Cooling Towers is an independent service provider and is not affiliated with these manufacturers. We service the equipment they make.
What should you have ready when you call for service?
A few details help us get started faster. Gather what you can from this list before you reach out.
- Manufacturer and model. Look for the nameplate on the tower, which usually lists the manufacturer, model, and serial number.
- Age and service history. Note when the tower was installed and any past repairs or major work.
- What you are seeing. Describe symptoms such as unusual noise, vibration, higher water loss, or scale buildup.
- Your timing. Let us know if there is a planned shutdown window or if the issue is urgent.
- Photos. Pictures of the tower and its nameplate help our team understand what is on site.
If you are missing something, send what you have. Our team can work from there.
How does MCT support all three brands?
The approach is the same whichever brand is on your tower.
- Preventative maintenance and repairs for Evapco, Marley, and BAC equipment
- Component replacement and stocking, with an extensive inventory on hand for fast turnaround
- Field service and emergency response from staff based at the same Chickasha headquarters as our components
- Factory-assembled tower sales, including the CCS Phoenix PL, for companies ready to invest in a new tower
