Welcome!
Looking back to when we started Mechanical Equipment in 1999, we never could have imagined how our industry, and the world itself, would be where it is today. So many of the products we sell today changed from installer-based programming, to “smart” products that merely require the push of a few buttons on a computer panel. Products are constantly developing and redeveloping to become as energy efficient as possible and equipment carbon-footprints are decreasing. These improvements will make our world better for the next generation.
While many of us prefer to avoid change, a business must embrace and lead the change in order to continue to grow and thrive. The obvious fear of change is the unknown effect that it will have on us.
However, as a leader in the HVAC industry in Illinois, Mechanical Equipment embraces change. Since we are usually leading the way, we embrace the new and are excited to share our expertise and knowledge with our customers. We stay on top of the latest products, technology, and solutions, so you don’t have to.
Mechanical Equipment represents the top-name, most-recognized products in each of our product categories. We have a strong relationship with our manufacturers and we work with their product development teams, helping them bring the product improvements that meet and exceed the ever-higher standards to which the engineers and architects design. They turn to Mechanical Equipment in the early design stages of their projects because they know that our industry knowledge, experience and breadth of information, will help them deliver the very best products with the highest level of energy savings, emission savings, and LEED design approach to their customers.
We promise to always put our customers’ needs before our own and help you to achieve your overall goal and end result of any particular project. By continually meeting or exceeding our customers’ needs, our own needs are met with repeat, long-standing customer relationships. We often tell people:
- To control product quality, we simply represent the best manufacturers.
- We don’t control pricing; the market determines our prices.
- We DO control our service and attitude, and we promise you the best of both!
As we begin our 23rd year of operation, one constant remains – our loyal customer following! The reason Mechanical Equipment continues to thrive and deliver value is because of our continuously growing customer base. This tells us we’re doing right by them and the word spreads. In order to continue to grow, we will never forget that the customer’s needs come before anything else. Everyday we are in business, we’re building relationships with you, our customers and friends. A relationship that is based on trust and we promise you that good-enough, will never be good-enough for us!

Sincerely,
Dennis J. O’Shaughnessy
