Western Allied’s approach stems from a unique culture & structure unlike any other major mechanical contractor in Greater LA. Since 1960, our main focus has been owner-developed & occupied facilities, where the people who pay the bills get to see firsthand the results. A few of our differentiators:  

-Over 60% of our office staff have engineering or computer science degrees.

-60-80% of our construction work is either design/build or design/assist. The resulting culture is solution, not change order, oriented. A company owner is involved with every project. 

-Our engineering department is technically advanced, while also living the field side of how buildings are built. Every Western Allied design is constructible and maintainable, and our engineers retain contact with the buildings they design throughout construction and commissioning…and often for decades thereafter.  

-Our controls group is not a separate profit center or company. Everyone at Western Allied has access to the best controls people in Southern California. There are no better systems integrators or multi-protocol masters anywhere. 

-Over 65% of our service techs are full journeymen or foremen, double most of the other big service groups. We provide value, responding with people who are capable of diagnosing &  resolving the problem. Our area managers average 35 years of HVAC industry experience; no rookies here.

-80% of our service accounts are in owner-occupied facilities. 

-No one at Western Allied is paid commission, or benefits personally at the cost of a client, or  specific project. 

-Our ownership transition plan works. We are a model for stable, consistent company goals, professional company officers and  minimal management drama. We have never had a “reorganization”, initiated by the latest manager brought in from somewhere else.  

-The Western Allied family enjoys our jobs, our careers and each other. We enjoy coming to work and enjoy the work that we produce.
