In 1902 Willis Haviland Carrier invented the first electrical air-conditioner.
In 1904 after the Great Baltimore Fire, the first public water and sewer lines were installed in Baltimore.
Around that same time Baltimore implemented 4 steam heating plants to provide heat to public and private buildings.
Baltimore employed B.C. Bibb to install indoor plumbing, sewer lines and steam pipes in her homes and businesses.

Those were exciting and challenging times. A successful company had to be able to keep up with all the new advances in technology, forge relationships with the better manufacturers and integrate new and old technologies to provide their customers with Quality Equipment and Dependable Service.
The technologies continue to evolve, but the core requirements for Quality Equipment and Dependable Service remain as true today. It starts with a company that has
- Principals who have a core understanding of the technology. The initiative needs to come from the top.
- A Reputation in the industry to gain access to the best lines and factory support. The premier manufacturers pick and choose their local dealers based on their reputation and ability to support the equipment.
- High Retention Rate and Progressive factory Training and Certification Policy: A high retention rate insures the employees are committed to the success of the project, and a good program of factory training and certification insures the job is done right the first time.
