WHO WE ARE

With 20+ years experience, an extremely talented team, and innovation on our minds, we deliver exceptional quality projects every time. 

Our teams’ diverse experience allows JME to see your project from a clear, big-picture perspective. We believe your HVAC solution should adapt to your project, not the other way around.

So let’s make it happen… time to get creative!

The best way to achieve clear understanding is to get to know each other and collaborate directly.
You have a vision for your project and the results you’d like to achieve.

We have the knowledge and experience to bring that vision to life, true to concept, on schedule and custom-tuned for top performance at maximum value.

SOME OF THE SYSTEMS WE CREATE:

  • Simple air & hydronic systems for residential/light commercial buildings
  • Geothermal heating and cooling systems
  • Central chilled & hot water/steam plants
  • Complex high-efficiency filtration, humidity & pressure control (for hospitals and clean rooms)
  • Direct Digital Control (DDC) temperature control systems

Every HVAC solution we deliver draws on a diverse wealth of experience, industry-insider knowledge and the latest tech in textiles, systems and software.

Decades of working alongside design, management and construction professionals on a wide range of projects has really had a positive effect on our entire team – your feedback and input has shown us there’s always more than one way to create a desired result.

HOW WE DO IT

At JM Engineering, drafting a proposal begins with getting to know you, understanding your goals and analyzing your situation.

We believe it’s important to look at the big picture; your entire project, both physically and logistically, to provide the best solution for you.

You’ll receive a customized proposal that fits your vision and budget. Don’t worry if you need to make a course-correction mid-project – we’ll keep your information under constant review during the design process, because we understand that circumstances can shift without warning and we’re prepared to act accordingly to help you get the job done on time.
