Beyond California
Startup and commissioning of McKenna equipment in any state.
McKenna installs in California and Utah, and starts up and commissions the equipment it builds in any state. When a McKenna boiler ships out of state, our technicians travel to start it up and commission it.
Operators get trained on their own equipment before we leave, and the startup report records every setting we made.
