If a thing’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well. For over 60 years this simple statement defines our underlying work principle. From service and maintenance to plan/spec contracts to design/build projects, our clients are assured of quality workmanship.

ARC can design and install mechanical systems ranging from simple exhaust systems to complicated piping systems for food plants, processing operations and hospital operating rooms.

Our installation teams consist of masters, journeymen, apprentices and certified personnel in plumbing; process piping; gas, steam, refrigeration and medical gas piping; and sheet metal work. We also have a fully-functioning sheet metal fabrication shop capable of handling standard duct work and fittings, as well as custom sheet metal work.

ARC provides 24/7 emergency service, as well as preventive maintenance programs, by certified and licensed service technicians. Our commitment to technical excellence compelled us to create our own HVAC apprenticeship program with the state of Vermont Apprenticeship Council.
