Temperature Service Company

What Temperature Service Company does

Temperature Service Company is a privately held commercial and industrial HVAC/R (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) service provider founded in 1982 and headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. The company designs, installs, maintains, repairs, and retrofits mechanical systems for commercial, industrial, manufacturing, retail, and high-rise residential facilities within a 100-mile radius of downtown Chicago. Its service portfolio spans air conditioning, heating, refrigeration, ventilation, new construction design-and-build, planned maintenance, retrofit, replacement, repair, energy audits, and Building Automation Systems (BAS) integration using third-party platforms such as Carrier iVu.

The company operates an in-house engineering function with sheet metal fabrication and Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing (TAB) capabilities, and runs an electrical services division called Omega Electric that delivers installations, generators, engineering, preventative maintenance, and thermal imaging diagnostics. Notable project execution includes a helicopter-assisted 70-story boiler plant modernization at Lake Point Tower, a 20-story cooling modernization in the Gold Coast, a 110-ton Daikin rooftop retrofit, and a 48-hour cleanroom upgrade for a medical technology provider. The company holds Illinois Commerce Commission approval as an installer of energy efficiency measures, enabling customers to access utility rebates.

Temperature Service Company makes money through a mix of one-time project-based revenue (new construction, retrofit, and replacement installations) and recurring planned maintenance contracts, supplemented by repair and service calls, electrical services through Omega Electric, and professional services such as energy audits. Pricing is quote-based with no publicly disclosed tiers; payment terms call for a 50% deposit at approval with balance due on completion. The go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales, supported by a website with a request-a-quote funnel, email newsletter, industry event sponsorships, and limited community involvement. No external funding, M&A, or public-market activity is disclosed.
