Maza HVAC is a commercial HVAC and mechanical contractor serving condominium and HOA central plants across South Florida. The chiller plant and cooling towers are the association's largest mechanical capital assets, and Florida's milestone-inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) requirements now force boards to document when that equipment will need replacement and what it will cost. We give condo and co-op boards, along with their licensed community association managers, the remaining-useful-life assessments, replacement-cost estimates and competitive, line-item proposals they need to plan reserves, satisfy recertification and put major mechanical work out to bid with confidence.
Who we work with
Buying decisions are consensus-driven and documentation-heavy: a condo or co-op board working alongside a licensed community association manager (CAM) or property-management firm. Boards are bid-sensitive and accountable to owners, so they need defensible, line-item proposals and clear remaining-useful-life data they can present at meetings and fold into reserve studies. CAM firms such as FirstService Residential act as portfolio gateways - one relationship can span many buildings.
What Matters Most for Condominiums and HOAs
Aging central chiller plants
Coastal salt air can shorten equipment life by roughly 30-40%, and many associations are running chillers and cooling towers well past their efficient years. Boards need to know whether to repair, optimize or replace before a failure forces an rushed decision in peak season.
Board approvals and competitive bidding
Under Fla. Stat. 718.3026, associations must obtain multiple bids when a contract exceeds 5% of the annual budget including reserves. Boards need bid-ready, line-item proposals they can compare side by side and defend to owners.
Capital planning for major mechanical assets
The chiller plant and cooling towers are the association's biggest mechanical line items. Without a documented replacement timeline and cost, boards struggle to fund reserves accurately and avoid surprise special assessments.
Documentation for reserves and recertification
Florida's SIRS and milestone-inspection requirements demand a defensible paper trail. Boards and managers need remaining-useful-life assessments and replacement-cost estimates that drop directly into a reserve study and recertification file.
Why Now
SB 4-D / SB 154 / HB 913 milestone inspections and SIRS
Florida law requires milestone structural inspections (at 30 years, or 25 in coastal areas) and a Structural Integrity Reserve Study. The initial SIRS was due December 31, 2025 and is extendable to December 31, 2026 when coordinated with a milestone inspection. Items with remaining useful life over 25 years need not be reserve-funded, which makes a documented assessment of your chiller plant and cooling towers essential to funding reserves correctly.
Competitive bidding under Fla. Stat. 718.3026
When a contract exceeds 5% of the annual budget including reserves, associations must obtain multiple bids. That makes clear, bid-ready, line-item proposals a requirement, not a nicety - and the contractor who supplies the remaining-useful-life and replacement-cost data often shapes the project before bids go out.
CAM and property-management portfolios
Licensed community association managers and firms such as FirstService Residential manage many buildings at once. A documentation-heavy, board-ready vendor can become the standing recommendation across an entire portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide documentation for our reserve study and SIRS?
Yes. We perform remaining-useful-life assessments of your chiller plant, cooling towers and related mechanical equipment and pair them with replacement-cost estimates written to feed a Structural Integrity Reserve Study. Because Florida's SIRS rules let associations exclude items with remaining useful life over 25 years from reserve funding, a defensible assessment helps your board fund reserves accurately and supports milestone recertification.
Will your proposals work for our competitive bidding requirement?
Yes. We provide bid-ready, line-item proposals built for boards that must obtain multiple bids under Fla. Stat. 718.3026 when a contract exceeds 5% of the annual budget including reserves. The scope is clear enough for owners and other contractors to compare directly, which keeps your bid process clean and defensible.
Should our association repair or replace its chiller?
It depends on the machine's remaining useful life, efficiency, repair history and refrigerant. We perform a remaining-useful-life assessment that weighs all of these and gives your board the documented basis to decide and to plan funding before a chiller fails - not after - which also feeds directly into your reserve study under SB 4-D and SIRS.
Do you work with property managers and CAM firms?
Yes. We work directly with licensed community association managers and property-management firms as well as with boards, providing the board-ready documentation, assessments and proposals these consensus-driven, documentation-heavy decisions require across single buildings or a full portfolio.
