Hill York Air Conditioning Services and Energy Solutions

What Hill York Air Conditioning Services and Energy Solutions does

Hill York Air Conditioning Services and Energy Solutions is a full-service commercial HVAC and mechanical contracting company headquartered in Florida, founded in 1936 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME). The company provides design-build installation, maintenance, repair, retrofit, building automation, and energy conservation services to commercial, institutional, and government customers across Florida from four regional offices (Dania Beach, Lake Park, Tampa, Melbourne). It maintains a 120+ service vehicle fleet and manages over 500 chillers under active service contract.

The company's service portfolio spans seven interconnected lines: service agreements (recurring maintenance with energy benchmarking), service repairs (manufacturer-certified technicians), retrofits and replacements (including emergency mobile chiller and cooling tower deployment), building automation (authorized dealer for Automated Logic and Alerton), engineering and pre-construction (BIM-enabled design-build), construction (chilled water, cooling towers, sheet metal fabrication), and critical environments (Liebert-certified cooling for data centers, surgery centers, and telecommunication facilities). Notable proprietary capabilities include BIM collision detection, XOi Vision field documentation, and thermal energy storage system design supporting peak demand reduction.

Hill York's business model combines project-based construction and retrofit revenue with recurring service agreement streams, supplemented by self-funding energy conservation programs where guaranteed savings offset upgrade costs. The company serves four primary verticals — commercial buildings, government (including military installations such as U.S. Southern Command), healthcare (UF Health, The Villages Hospital, Express Scripts, surgery centers), and education (Nova Southeastern University) — with secondary exposure to residential high-rise and science/technology segments. Customers include ADP, U.S. Southern Command, Nova Southeastern University, and various municipal and healthcare institutions. Distribution is direct field sales from regional offices, targeting enterprise and mid-market accounts with long-cycle design-build and multi-year service relationships.
