NYC building controls & remote monitoring
Keep the boiler room running. See it from anywhere.
Nio Controls designs, installs, and monitors boiler, pump, and hydronic heating controls for apartment buildings, co-ops, and condos across New York City. A PLC runs the plant in your basement. Our portal shows you and our engineers what it is doing, day and night.
Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm. 24/7 emergency line for monitored buildings.

Services
Controls for the equipment that keeps a building warm
From a single boiler in a walk-up to a multi-boiler plant with domestic hot water and ventilation, we design and install the controls, then stand behind them.
Boiler & Burner Controls
Burner sequencing, outdoor reset, and lead-lag for multi-boiler plants. We replace tired aquastats and relay panels with a PLC you can see into.
Learn morePump & Hydronic Controls
Circulator and VFD control, alternation, and differential pressure and temperature control. Fewer cold zones, fewer no-heat calls.
Learn moreBuilding Automation
Boiler room, domestic hot water, and ventilation on one panel. Schedules, setpoints, and alarms in one place instead of six.
Learn moreRemote Monitoring
Live boiler and pump status, temperatures, and alarms from any phone. Alarms show live for you and our engineers, so problems surface before the building goes cold.

Remote monitoring
From the boiler room to your phone in three steps
No software to install and no one standing in the basement reading gauges. The controller does the work. The portal shows you the results.
- 01
A PLC in your boiler room
A Productivity 2000 controller reads the boiler, pump, and temperature points and runs the sequence locally. If the internet drops, the building still heats.
- 02
Secure MQTT to our cloud
The PLC publishes readings over an encrypted MQTT connection to our broker. Every reading is stored, so you get history, not just a snapshot.

Your portal and alarms
Log in from any phone or desktop to see live status and trends. Your super, your manager, and our on-call engineer see the same live alarms.
Why Nio Controls
Local engineers. Open hardware. Nothing hidden.
We are a New York controls shop, not a national service franchise. Here is what that gets you.
Engineers who answer the phone
Call (347) 369-7269 and you reach a controls engineer in New York, not a call center. The person who answers can pull up your building while you talk.
You see what we see
Your portal login shows the same live status, temperatures, alarms, and trends our on-call engineer looks at. No filtered summary, no waiting for a report.
Standard, serviceable hardware
We build on Productivity 2000 PLCs, off-the-shelf sensors, and labeled panels. Parts are stocked and documented, and any competent controls tech can work on them. No locked proprietary box.
Nio Tech for the network
Our sister company Nio Tech handles the IT side: internet to the boiler room, cellular backup, and the rest of the building's network. One call covers both.
