Heath Consultants Incorporated

What Heath Consultants Incorporated does

Heath Consultants Incorporated is a privately held, family-owned company founded in 1933 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It provides methane emissions detection, monitoring, and quantification technologies and services for natural gas utilities (local distribution companies) and midstream/upstream operators, supporting infrastructure safety and regulatory compliance. Its primary customers are North American natural gas utilities, with a developing presence in Europe.

The company's product portfolio is built around proprietary, trademarked methane detection platforms: the Discover AMLD® automobile-mounted laser detector for vehicle-based survey work, the RMLD-CS™ remote methane leak detector, the HYBRID® leak detection platform, the DP-IR+™ infrared-based pinpointing instrument, the Bar Hole Sampler, and the ODORATOR 2™ software. These instruments are complemented by engineering and R&D partnerships with external research organizations and industry trade associations, and the company holds an ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and a WBENC women's business enterprise certification.

Heath makes money through a mix of hardware sales (detection instruments), professional services (leak detection surveys, methane emissions management, meter-related services), training programs, instrument repair, and equipment rentals. Go-to-market is enterprise-focused and sales-led, relying on a direct field sales team, an active trade show and conference presence across major regional and national gas associations, and direct enterprise relationships with utility customers. The 2025 sale of its gas locating division to USIC, senior leadership appointments, and a multi-unit European deployment via Bohr Limited for Alliander Energy indicate a strategic refocusing on core methane emissions management and selective geographic expansion.
