Pro Mechanical Services Inc.

The state insures Pro Mechanical under workers'-comp classes for HVAC-R installation and service, electrical wiring in buildings, alarm system installation, metal goods fabrication and construction project management, which matches the work on its permits. Public-work filings go back to 2010, under a predecessor licence, for agencies including the Spokane Department of Transportation, Spokane Fire Department, the City of Spokane, Spokane School District 81, Mead School District, Eastern Washington University, the Spokane Airport Board and Spokane Transit Authority, usually as a subcontractor. The crew runs to more than a hundred workers, and the company describes itself as family-owned. The state lists Jon Vanos and David Knutson as principals since 2014. This is a contractor built for commercial buildings and public facilities: rooftop HVAC retrofits, lighting upgrades across a school or municipal building, generator backup, building controls. The company advertises 24/7 on-call service, which suits property managers and facility operators who can't wait for a weekday slot. A homeowner after a single bathroom fan or small household repair is a poor match for an operation this size, and framing or drywall falls outside the mechanical and electrical work it does. Spokane's building stock spans early-century brick schools and storefronts downtown to newer tilt-up commercial space out in the Valley and Liberty Lake, and that mix shapes mechanical and electrical work. Older buildings often carry surface-mounted conduit, aging panels and fluorescent fixtures that make LED retrofits and service upgrades worthwhile, while newer ones tend to need rooftop unit swaps and controls integration. Ask any contractor how they handle wiring in plaster or masonry walls, and whether new equipment will tie into the existing automation system.
