Horizon Mechanical Solutions

What Horizon Mechanical Solutions does

Horizon Mechanical Solutions is a third-generation, woman-owned commercial and industrial HVAC contractor founded in 1988 and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado. The company designs, installs, fabricates, and services heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems across the Mountain West and Southwest (Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Wyoming), with primary specializations in water and wastewater treatment facility HVAC, large commercial buildings (schools, hotels, government offices, post offices), and dams and other industrial infrastructure.

Its core technical offering is built around an in-house HVAC Controls Department that delivers fully automated Direct Digital Controls (DDC) based on the Tridium Niagara Platform, using product lines from Johnson Controls, Distech Controls, and Easy-IO, complemented by custom UL-508A-listed control panels and custom engineered control drawings. A modernized fabrication facility, including plasma cutting, a 120-ton press brake, a ten-foot-wide shear for quarter-inch steel plate, and a 12,000-pound duct coil line, supports in-house production of galvanized, aluminum, and stainless steel ductwork, tanks, hoods, dust collection systems, and odor control ventilation.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based HVAC installation (commercial and industrial), an ongoing service and maintenance department, and custom sheet metal/fabrication work, with sales executed through direct enterprise field sales, project bidding, and RFP responses to general contractors, facility owners, and government entities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company holds City and County of Denver M/WBE, DBE, and SBE certifications and participates in the CITC State Certified Apprenticeship Program, supporting preferential access to public-sector bids and a structured skilled-trade talent pipeline.
