Havtech

What Havtech does

Havtech is a privately held, full-lifecycle commercial HVAC solutions provider headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, serving the Mid-Atlantic region across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. Founded in 1983 and built atop the legacy of ACES (1971), the company sells, designs, services, and distributes commercial HVAC systems for contractors, engineers, architects, and building owners through a network of more than eight sales offices and parts/warehouse locations. The firm represents 230+ manufacturers — including Daikin Applied, Daikin Comfort, Baltimore Aircoil Company, Price Industries, Modine, Bosch Thermotechnology, Whalen, Detroit Radiant, and Blue Frontier — and runs wholly owned subsidiaries for hydronic solutions (Morin Hydronics, integrated 2024), building automation (ACES Controls), parts distribution (Havtech Supply), service (Havtech Service), and training (Havtech Learning Institute).

The company's core technology stack spans engineered HVAC equipment (chillers, air handlers, packaged systems, VRF/VRV, water-source heat pumps), hydronic systems, building automation and controls across multiple protocols (Tridium, Honeywell, Alerton, KMC, Lynxspring, Antec), air distribution products, and critical-environment HVAC for healthcare, laboratory, and data center applications. Energy efficiency services include audits, energy modeling, LEED modeling, and incentive/rebate capture. The Havtech Learning Institute provides hands-on training and PDH/CEU programs that have credentialed more than 15,000 contractors since 2009, while a connected-service offering integrates Clockworks Analytics for remote HVAC monitoring, and XOi Technologies provides field service documentation.

Havtech generates revenue through a mix of commercial HVAC equipment sales, parts and supplies distribution, recurring service and maintenance contracts (including 24/7 emergency support, commissioning, and warranty work), and paid technical training. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with multi-year service contracts typical. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, manufacturer-rep channel relationships, and parts-counter walk-in/contractor distribution, with customer concentration spread across K-12 education, commercial real estate, healthcare, data centers, laboratory, government, and agricultural end markets. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors.

• Ferguson Enterprises: Ferguson is the largest U.S. distributor of plumbing and HVAC products with thousands of branches. While primarily plumbing, its HVAC distribution business and ability to offer consolidated supply make it a broad incumbent benchmark for Havtech's distribution scale and sophistication.
• Trane Technologies: Trane Technologies is one of the largest global commercial HVAC OEMs with a robust independent distribution and service network. It is the broad incumbent that Havtech both represents (channels) and competes against on direct national accounts.
• Carrier Global: Carrier Global is a global HVAC OEM and controls platform that operates across commercial and residential segments, providing both products that Havtech distributes and direct integrated solutions that compete with Havtech's owner-facing proposals.

Direct peers

• Limbach Holdings: Limbach is a specialty contractor focused on commercial HVAC, plumbing, and building controls with strong Mid-Atlantic presence. It is one of the closest public-market comps to Havtech given its integrated equipment-distribution, building-automation, and service model.
