Eitel Heinemann Mechanical Services - About Us

About Eitel Heinemann Mechanical Services, Inc.

Company History
Dave Eitel, Ed Beelen and Chip Heinemann started Eitel Heinemann Mechanical Services, Inc., (EHMS) on February 23rd, 2004. Our focus is to serve the HVAC needs of our commercial, industrial and healthcare customers. Dave, Ed & Chip previously worked together at VA Smith Company which was purchased by Exelon Services Mechanical Group (ESMG) in 2000. In 2004, ESMG decided to cease mechanical contracting so they sold the company. At that time we decided to go into business for ourselves and EHMS was born. EHMS presently has more than 50 employees including ten service mechanics and six full-time engineers/project managers (in addition to Chip and Dave).

At EHMS we like to give back to the community when we can, as it gives us a source of pride to help others that are in need.  Our office and field personnel have done soup kitchens, helped with special olympics and Christmas gifts for the needy. We volunteered our time and resouces for the Homes for our Troops. We are proud of our troops here and aboard and happy to help out. Click the following link here for information about this project.
