Hotel MEP & Energy in Chetumal: Chillers, VRF, Hot Water and Controls

Cooling, hot water and power are the biggest running cost of a hotel in Chetumal and its most visible failure; we replace them with the hotel open and cut energy bills on the way. Power and water are urban and stable; the main savings come from replacing old AC, water heaters and lighting.

Hotel MEP & Energy in Chetumal — Recrea
A Recrea Construction project
Chetumal, 2026 references: Chiller plant: $3.7M–$23M; VRF: $83k–$165k; Heat-pump hot water: $1.4M–$5.5M.

Systems We Replace and Upgrade

Chiller Plants

High-efficiency chillers, pumps and cooling towers, swapped in phases without losing cooling.

Hot Water

Heat pumps and heat recovery replacing diesel or LP boilers.

Electrical & Back-Up

Switchgear, transformers, generators and transfer switches sized for hurricanes.

How the climate in Chetumal wears out plant rooms

Bay humidity, intense heat and hurricane exposure; buildings from the 1980s and 1990s now need roofs, facades and MEP renewal. We specify coated coils, stainless fixings and ventilated plant rooms so new equipment lasts in these conditions.

Replacement windows in Chetumal

Business hotels run steady weekday occupancy and quieter weekends and holidays, the reverse of resort hotels, which shapes the phasing plan. Chillers and boilers are swapped unit by unit in these windows, with rental plant when needed.

Logistics in Chetumal

Chetumal has its own suppliers and access to Belize trade, though specialised equipment still comes from Cancún or Mérida.
