BLCCS

What BLCCS does

BLCCS is a privately held consulting and licensed contracting firm headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, specializing in Controls, HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing services for commercial and industrial clients. The company positions itself around intelligent building automation, with a particular emphasis on retrofitting existing buildings and integrating antiquated technology that manufacturers no longer support — a capability the company markets as a differentiator versus providers who decline legacy work. The firm holds the Texas contracting licenses required for the scope (RMP 44639 for plumbing, TACLA 90962C for air conditioning, TECL 33961 for electrical) and operates with a small team of approximately 11 employees, with leadership anchored by Thomas Ferris (Registered Master Plumber).

The service portfolio spans Building Automation (servicing and optimizing HVAC equipment including chillers, boilers, packaged units, pumps, and air-handling units), Electrical installations, licensed Plumbing, and Real Time Energy Management. The Real Time Energy Management offering works directly with energy suppliers — most prominently CPS Energy, the San Antonio utility — to identify energy rebates, demand response opportunities, and long-term cost-effective efficiency behavior. Customer outcomes highlighted on the company website are 6,413.58 kW saved, 32,648,984 kWh saved, $8,684,142 in total client savings, and $227,933 in demand response payments, all as of 2021. The "open-source" framing of building integration suggests BLCCS works across multiple vendor systems rather than locking customers into a single OEM stack.

BLCCS generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services (Controls, HVAC, Electrical, Plumbing installation, maintenance, and optimization) supplemented by managed-services revenue from facilitating demand response enrollment and incentive payments with CPS Energy. Go-to-market is direct: phone contact (210.874.1911), a website contact form, and a community-led kW Drive program in partnership with Haven for Hope that donates up to $10,000 in labor to participating buildings and channels demand response proceeds to homelessness services. The company serves exclusively the San Antonio, Texas market and discloses no outside investors, no funding rounds, and no acquired subsidiaries.
