Perhaps no one in the HVAC supply chain is under more pressure than the mechanical contractor who must satisfy the general contractor, the owner and the design and engineering team – all while relying on a distributor and manufacturer to deliver!
To become the mechanical contractor's preferred supplier, HTS:

- Produces well thought-out conceptual estimates and budgets;
- Ensures design specifications are accurate and the right solutions are developed for each unique situation; and
Produces on-time, accurate bids and closing call out numbers.
To support the mechanical contractor in winning the work, we help follow up with general contractors to get questions answered and influence their preferences for the HVAC technologies we've recommended.

Helping the mechanical contractor create a successful job – on the job site and on the bottom line – includes providing flexible terms and conditions upfront, and if needed, partnership in collections and lien statutes to help the contractor get paid.
As representatives of some of the industry's largest and most innovative manufacturers, we consider it our responsibility to educate the industry on systems design and equipment choices by:- Speaking at industry events,
