The public-works record starts in late 2023 and runs steadily since. The agencies include the Spokane Public Facilities District, Washington State University in Spokane and the Tri-Cities, Eastern Washington University, the City of Spokane, West Valley and Deer Park school districts, Yakima School District, Yakima Valley Community College, the cities of Richland and Moses Lake, and Othello Community Hospital. Apprentices appear on that work. The state insures a crew of seven to ten under HVAC-R install, service and repair, along with shop, office and outside sales staff. The company says it is woman-owned, and the state lists Michelle Envolsen and Keith Envolsen as principals since 2023. This is a contractor for facility managers and agencies running central plants, not for a house. Its services lean toward keeping big machines alive: preventative maintenance agreements, testing that catches tube wear or bearing trouble before a failure, and rebuilds of compressors and heat exchangers. A homeowner wanting a new furnace, heat pump or mini-split in Spokane Valley or Mead is better served by a residential shop. HVAC work splits sharply by size. A quick fix, such as a failed igniter, a bad capacitor or a refrigerant leak on a home system, calls for a service company that can show up the same day with a stocked truck. A larger project, such as replacing a chiller or retubing a heat exchanger in a school or office building, involves engineering, crane or rigging work, shutdown scheduling and often prevailing-wage rules. For that, hire a firm whose record shows similar equipment and similar owners, and ask how ongoing maintenance will be handled after the install.
