SAFETY FIRST

Our philosophy is to create an accident-free environment through leadership, communication, employee involvement, and recognition.

By fostering an attitude of safety consciousness, our key leaders develop a “spirit” of zero harm and reduce incidents.

It is a fact, Rules do not prevent accidents; people do.

For two consecutive years, we received the Accident-Free Award.

Our History

Our company was founded in 1945 in Marshalltown, Iowa, as a local appliance repair shop, and we operated under that structure until 1957, when we became the local dealer for Lennox Industries. Almost 60 years later, we continued our relationship with Lennox Industries as an Alliance dealer.

We operated as a local heating and cooling company until the early 80s, when we added a traveling element to our business, working mainly in the government markets. We completed military family housing projects and Corps of Engineers projects across the United States. During this timeframe, we also added plumbing to our business offerings. By the mid-80s, we had become a full-service mechanical contractor focused on the heavy commercial and industrial marketplace.

In August 1998, we became part of the Comfort Systems USA family of companies to expand our footprint in the national markets and re-establish ourselves in the local HVAC service market. Today, we operate as two companies: ACI Mechanical, Inc., which is focused on larger heavy commercial and industrial construction projects, and Comfort Systems USA Midwest, which is focused on HVAC service, building automation, and minor mechanical construction projects. Although we are two companies, we operate as one to meet the expanding needs of our clients.
