Climate Control

What Climate Control does

Climate Control, operating under its legal entity Harris Company, is a United States-based mechanical contracting firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Fargo. The company delivers end-to-end building systems services across six integrated practice areas: Design + Engineering (including BIM/VDC, design-build, design-assist, and value engineering), Construction (HVAC, plumbing, prefabrication and modularization, process piping), Building Automation (IoT solutions, HVAC and lighting controls, security systems, system upgrades, and the proprietary Telemetry® monitoring platform), Service (preventive maintenance, equipment replacement, energy management, central plant services, and 24/7 emergency service), Manufacturing (in-house sheet metal, pipe + plumbing, and specialty products), and Conveyors (primary and secondary packaging material handling systems).

Underlying technology centers on integrated mechanical contracting workflows supported by BIM/VDC design tooling, off-site prefabrication, and IoT-based building telemetry. The proprietary Telemetry® system provides continuous monitoring and intelligent controls for facility systems, and the in-house manufacturing footprint enables cost-controlled, schedule-reliable delivery of sheet metal and piping components. Project scale is significant, with documented installations at venues including Allegiant Stadium (1.8M sq ft), the VA Medical Center New Orleans (1.3M sq ft), the Topaz eBay Data Center (250,000 sq ft), the University of Utah Garff Executive Education Building (150,000 sq ft), and Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport (a $3.4M intelligent monitoring and controls project).

The business model is project-based commercial contracting: revenue is generated through quote-based design-build, design-assist, and direct installation engagements with enterprise owners, general contractors, construction managers, and government clients, supplemented by recurring service, preventive-maintenance, and Telemetry®-enabled monitoring contracts. Customer segments span stadiums and sports venues (primary), data centers, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, commercial real estate, aviation, and manufacturing. Geographic scope is national within the United States, with a horizontal segmentation approach across verticals and direct sales as the primary distribution motion.
