Daikin Applied Continues Growth, Acquiring New York-Based Modular Comfort Systems 

Daikin Applied Americas has announced that it has made a majority investment in Modular Comfort Systems, a provider of customized HVAC solutions that supports consulting engineers, contractors and building owners and operators in upstate New York. As New York enacts and implements new regulations focused on reducing energy use and carbon emissions, Modular Comfort Systems’ expertise in designing and delivering high-efficiency systems, and Daikin’s decarbonization technology and capabilities, will combine to deliver comprehensive HVAC solutions that help customers trim both their utility bills and carbon footprints.

In 2023, New York State codified the Climate Act into law, detailing decarbonization requirements for new buildings and accelerating the need for more sustainable and efficient HVAC solutions. The integration of Daikin Applied and Modular Comfort Systems will provide customers with end-to-end solutions to address regulations and help mitigate environmental impact.

Modular Comfort Systems has almost 75 employees across offices in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, N.Y.  The firm provides specialized solutions for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems for commercial, institutional and industrial applications. As part of the acquisition, the Daikin Applied service technicians in the region will join the company. As Modular Comfort Systems, a member of Daikin Group, the combined team will work together to deliver a full range of HVAC solutions, including engineering services, equipment selection and startup and systems maintenance and repair.
