About
Farris Engineering is a Lincoln, NE-based mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering firm serving commercial facilities within a 25-mile radius with HVAC design and systems expertise across healthcare, education, government, office, data center, and industrial building types.
The firm's mechanical engineering practice addresses chilled water and chiller systems, boiler systems, air handling units, cooling towers, rooftop units, and heat pumps. Engineers evaluate energy conservation, sustainability, maintainability, and life cycle costs to determine the right system configuration for each building's specific demands — a critical consideration for Lincoln's climate, where facilities must manage both heavy heating loads in winter and reliable cooling capacity in summer.
Farris Engineering also handles building automation control systems, which allows facility managers to integrate HVAC performance monitoring and control into broader building operations. For complex environments like data centers and healthcare facilities, where uptime and environmental precision are non-negotiable, this systems-level perspective reduces operational risk.
Beyond HVAC, the firm provides electrical engineering, plumbing, lighting design, fire protection and life safety, commissioning, LEED consulting, and construction administration — meaning property and facility managers can coordinate multi-discipline projects through a single engineering team. Commissioning services ensure that installed systems and components meet expected performance standards before handoff, reducing callbacks and warranty disputes on large capital projects.
