PC Automated Controls

What PC Automated Controls does

PC Automated Controls, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned building automation and HVAC services firm headquartered in El Paso, Texas, with a second office in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving West Texas and the State of New Mexico. Founded in 1993 by Thomas Shelton as Precision Controls and incorporated in 2000 under its current name, the company operates as an authorized Automated Logic (ALC) dealer and certified Linc Service contractor (1 of ~200 worldwide), delivering WebCTRL-based Building Automation Systems (BAS), Direct Digital Control (DDC), Utility Monitoring and Control Systems (UMCS), and preventative HVAC maintenance to commercial, educational, government, healthcare, and industrial end markets.

The product stack is anchored by Automated Logic's WebCTRL platform, which exposes HVAC, lighting, and central plant control through a web-based interface supported by add-on modules: EIKON (graphical control programming), ViewBuilder (graphics design), EnergyReports (EcoScreen and Dashboards editions), WebCTRL Environmental Index, IntelliSuite Health Monitoring, Time-lapse Graphics, and a built-in Fault Detection & Diagnostics (FDD) library covering 100+ HVAC fault types. The firm integrates and distributes a deep hardware lineup — OptiFlex BACnet routers and building controllers, SE-Line and ZN341A zone controllers, ZS2 multi-sensor zone sensors, AMR/ARCNET routers, EQ-PRTL gateways, OptiPoint HMIs, Eaton H-Max VFDs, Belimo Energy Valves, Chilled Water System Optimizers — alongside Tridium/VYKON open integration and Global Plasma Solutions NPBI indoor air quality technology. Service lines include Linc Service–aligned preventative maintenance, the CARE (Customer Assurance, Review & Evaluation) program, VRF system work, and Energy Star / LEED-related energy audits and consulting.

Commercially, PC Automated Controls generates revenue through multi-year service and maintenance contracts (CARE and standalone PM), one-time BAS/UMCS/DDC installations, hardware resale, government-set-aside contracting (GSA Schedule GS21F016GA covering Smart Building System Integration and Facilities Maintenance & Management SINs; ESC Region 19 Allied States Cooperative; BuyBoard; CES New Mexico Cooperative), and professional-services energy audits. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting facility owners and decision-makers, supplemented by an authorized-dealer channel for Automated Logic products. Selected customer references span Fort Bliss (4,467 housing AC units of PM), Amazon's El Paso Fulfillment Center, El Paso ISD (25+ year relationship), Socorro ISD, Plains All American Pipeline, El Paso Electric, Dish Network, Texas Oncology, The Plaza Hotel, the El Paso Chihuahuas' Southwest University Park, and the El Paso County Juvenile Justice Facility.

Direct peers

• Texas AirSystems: Texas-based commercial HVAC and building automation integrator serving education, healthcare, and government sectors in Texas. Comparable as a regional BAS/HVAC integrator with similar vertical mix and dealer relationships with major BAS platforms.
• Bohn Building Technologies: Southwest US building automation and HVAC services provider with offices in Texas and the Southwest. Comparable as a regional Automated Logic/Tridium integrator targeting schools, municipalities, and commercial facilities.
• Control Consultants Inc: Texas-based building automation systems integrator providing BAS design, installation, and service across commercial and education verticals. Comparable regional peer with overlapping customer profiles and BAS platform focus.
• St. Onge Company: HVAC and building automation service provider with deep Southwest/Mountain West presence. Comparable in territory overlap (West Texas-adjacent regions), K-12/government customer mix, and BAS integration scope.

Broad incumbents

• Johnsons Controls (BAS): Global leader in building automation, HVAC, and energy efficiency with Metasys platform. Overlaps directly with PCA on federal, education, and healthcare BAS deployments but operates nationally with much larger scale and own-IP stack.
• Carrier (Automated Building Solutions): Carrier's commercial HVAC and building automation business (incl. Automated Logic's parent CCC) competes directly with PCA on federal and K-12 deals through the Automated Logic channel and through Carrier's own i-Vu platform.
• Trane Technologies: Global HVAC and BAS provider with Tracer building automation platform; competes on commercial and institutional projects across PCA's territory, especially in education and government verticals.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Building automation and energy management incumbent with Desigo CC platform; competes for large federal, healthcare, and university BAS contracts in Texas and New Mexico.

Others

• ABM Franchising Group (Linc Service): Parent franchise network of Linc Service (PCA is a member). Provides service delivery framework, branding, and training to PCA; network economics tie PCA's service quality to ABM's programs.
• Eaton (HVAC VFDs): Supplier of H-Max variable frequency drives that PCA deploys in HVAC applications. Eaton Industry Specialist relationship gives PCA preferred access but also ties PCA's product roadmap to Eaton's HVAC VFD strategy.
