About ESI
In our 40 years in the industry, we have completed design and installation of HVAC systems for more than 10,000 commercial projects, more than 2.5 million square feet of laboratories and clean rooms, more than 70 MRI facilities, plus projects for many of the colleges and universities in our region.
ESI was founded in 1974 by Robert Elliott and Richard LaPorte. The two worked tirelessly to cultivate a company known for the highest standards of quality and exceptional customer service. Every member of our firm – from engineer to technician, administrator to senior management – is committed to client satisfaction. It is a commitment that we demonstrate daily, in every department and on every job site.
Our highly trained mechanical engineering department is dedicated to the design of all types of HVAC systems using the latest in CAD and 3D modeling technologies. With Revit-Autodesk software for Building Information Modeling (BIM), our team of engineers can work collaboratively to plan, design, construct, and manage industry-leading HVAC systems.
