What Engineering Excellence does

Engineering Excellence is a US-based commercial HVAC-R services company founded in 1979 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company provides preventive maintenance, 24/7 emergency response, HVAC unit replacement and installation, and complementary building services (electrical, plumbing, commercial refrigeration, energy consulting, HVAC surveys and audits, and building automation) to multi-site commercial customers across all 50 US states. It serves ten primary verticals including mission-critical facilities, financial services, healthcare, office, logistics, hospitality, senior housing, industrial, manufacturing, and retail, supporting over 16,000 sites across North America.

Operations are delivered through 12 self-performing regional offices backed by a network of more than 300 service provider partners and a 24/7 National Service Center that handles dispatch, scheduling, invoicing, and client support. Technology integrations with ServiceChannel, Corrigo, SAP Ariba, and fmPilot provide work order management, real-time updates, and procurement interoperability for enterprise facilities customers. Revenue is generated through recurring preventive maintenance contracts, time-and-materials emergency service, project-based equipment replacement, and the Advantage Program, an equipment-financing and managed-service bundle that pairs new HVAC, water heating, IAQ, and generator installations with predictable monthly payments covering equipment, installation, repairs, parts, labor, and annual maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Engineering Excellence is a private subsidiary of Enercare Inc., which was acquired by Brookfield Infrastructure in August 2018 for C$4.3 billion. Day-to-day leadership is provided by General Manager Robert Flynn and Vice President of Sales Christopher Papp. The company pursues geographic and product expansion through regional sales hiring, affiliate consolidations (e.g., Peachtree Commercial HVAC in Atlanta, TML Commercial Services in Boise, Freschi Air Systems in Concord, CA, Berkshire Mechanical in Reading, PA), and technology partnerships such as DigiMEP for intelligent building automation.
