What Temco does

Temco (legally Total Equipment Maintenance Company, Inc.) is a privately held commercial foodservice and HVAC equipment repair, maintenance, and installation services company headquartered in Pearl, Mississippi. It operates from 33 service locations across Mississippi, Southern Alabama, West Central Alabama, and Northwest Florida, with regional offices in Pearl (headquarters) and Biloxi (Gulf Coast). The company serves restaurants (QSR, full-service, coffee shops), convenience stores, grocery retailers, retail chains, schools and universities, corporate and government facilities, and concessions and entertainment venues. Authorized service relationships with 300+ equipment manufacturers — including Hobart, True Manufacturing, Rational, and Frymaster — enable warranty work and access to proprietary parts.

The operating platform consists of a 24/7 staffed call center, GPS-enabled dispatch of field technicians from a database indexed by equipment model and serial number, a proprietary TEMCO MobileAssistant mobile application for technicians, live video support infrastructure connecting field technicians to subject-matter experts, active parts inventory management across GPS-tracked vans, and electronic signature capture. The company integrates with nine enterprise service management platforms (ServiceNow, IBM Maximo, Vixxo, Corrigo, Fexa, Verisae, Service Channel, Office Trax, EcoTrak) to accept work orders directly from enterprise customer procurement systems. Technician training is delivered through Tech24 University, a proprietary program based on CFESA principles with class sizes capped at 12 students.

TEMCO executes a fee-for-service professional services model across three revenue streams: 24/7 emergency equipment repair, planned preventive maintenance (handling 65,000+ planned service events annually), and equipment installation and removal including utility connections. Pricing is quote-based and customized by geography and equipment type, structured as either fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts, with a 90-day guarantee on parts and labor. Distribution is direct — service requests originate via phone or web form, technicians are dispatched from regional offices. Customer concentration is diversified across at least seven named industry verticals, with no single customer publicly identified in the source material.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights8 records

Broad incumbents

• CoolSys: CoolSys is the largest U.S. provider of refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing services for commercial customers, including extensive foodservice and grocery accounts. Directly comparable end markets (commercial refrigeration/HVAC) and multi-trade service model, but at materially greater national scale than TEMCO.
• Hussmann Services (Panasonic): Hussmann (Panasonic-owned) provides commercial refrigeration service and installation for grocery and foodservice operators globally. Highly comparable end-market focus and refrigeration equipment expertise, though supported by parent manufacturing scale.
• Lane Valente Industries: Multi-trade commercial mechanical services firm (HVAC, plumbing, refrigeration) serving national retail, restaurant, and industrial accounts. Comparable multi-trade field service model but operates at significantly broader geographic and customer scale than TEMCO.

Direct peers

• Tech24: Tech24 is the parent/co-branding organization providing TEMCO its training program (Tech24 University) and proprietary mobile technology platform. Tech24 operates affiliated commercial foodservice and HVAC service companies in other regions, making it the closest comparable operating model and brand extension point.
• Benchmark Mechanical Service: Mid-sized commercial mechanical services firm offering HVAC, refrigeration, and kitchen equipment service across multiple U.S. regions. Comparable in scale to TEMCO with similar multi-vertical customer approach and recurring maintenance contract model.
• Commercial Kitchen Services Co. Regional commercial kitchen equipment service and installation company serving restaurants, schools, and healthcare food service — directly comparable in service lines (cooking equipment, refrigeration, ventilation) and customer mix, though concentrated in different geographic regions.
• Refrigeration Service Corp (RSC): RSC specializes in commercial refrigeration, HVAC, and foodservice equipment service for grocery, c-store, and restaurant operators — closely overlapping with TEMCO's commercial refrigeration and emergency repair offerings across similar customer verticals.
• Mechanical Service Corporation (MSC): MSC provides commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and foodservice equipment service and installation to restaurants, grocery, and institutional customers — strong overlap with TEMCO's multi-trade service model and similar mix of planned maintenance plus emergency repair revenue.

Regional players

• YESCO Service Solutions: Regional commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and foodservice equipment service provider in the western U.S. Same service portfolio as TEMCO (cooking, refrigeration, HVAC repair and PM), but operating in a different geography and not directly competitive in the Gulf South.

Others

• CFESA Member Service Companies: The Commercial Foodservice Equipment Suppliers Association represents certified independent service agents across the U.S. CFESA members operate with similar technician training standards and OEM authorization frameworks, making them direct comparable independents and potential acquisition candidates.
