Temp-right Service, Inc

What Temp-right Service, Inc does

Temp-right Service, Inc. is a Western Montana-based mechanical contractor providing residential and commercial HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, controls/building automation, and design-build services. Founded in 1977 in Missoula by Charlie and Shirley Campfield as a State Licensed Contractor with three employees, the company has grown to 150+ employees operating from three physical locations (Missoula HQ, Kalispell, Bozeman) and a 16,000 sq ft facility housing engineering, project fabrication, and dispatch operations. It has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Comfort Systems USA since 1997, and also wholly owns Carson Brothers Montana (acquired 2006), a retained brand serving Flathead County.

The company's product portfolio spans installation, service, retrofit, planned replacement, and new construction across HVAC-R and plumbing, supplemented by Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) capabilities using Autodesk Revit MEP, Navisworks, CADDuct, and Google Sketch-Up. These design-build capabilities support prefabrication workflows that reportedly yield 20-30% labor savings on commercial projects. The company is an authorized Daikin Comfort Pro and Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, also distributing Mitsubishi, Coleman, Goodman, and Lochinvar equipment, and is NATE-certified with factory-trained technicians.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time installation projects (residential HVAC equipment and commercial systems), on-demand repair and 24/7 emergency service, and recurring Priority Maintenance annual plans offering scheduled inspections, priority service, 15% repair discounts, and Lifetime Workmanship Warranty. Customer segments are split between Residential Homeowners and Commercial/Industrial Businesses (including hospitality, retail, healthcare, financial services, real estate, and food service), with distribution occurring via phone, online booking, and direct field-service delivery from the three offices. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; financing options include cash, credit cards, same-as-cash, and traditional financing to support equipment purchases.
