Area Mechanical
About Us - History

Area Mechanical – Servicing the state line area the right way for more than 30 years!
Area Mechanical was formed August of 1990 by four men who were working or had worked in the field as mechanical serviceman or project managers for a well-established Rockford IL mechanical contractor. They were given the opportunity to buy the service division of that company, which they did starting the Legacy of Area Mechanical.
Through the years Area Mechanical grew and diversified having the trained staff to handle all our customers mechanical needs, refrigeration, HVAC, plumbing, process piping and all the facets of each trade.

Area Mechanical has also worked through the years to have a succession plan in place to keep operating as a family business with well-trained knowledgeable workforce to focus on providing the best service for our customers. Through the first 30 years the original owners have retired with new key individuals brought in to take their place as they retired.
