Personnel
Our goal from the moment we first receive plans for a project is to understand the full system. With years of experience under our belts, we can anticipate issues that may arise, accurately decide how to best approach test and balance, and establish a result with the highest level of satisfaction from contractors, engineers, and owners alike.
Our expert team is second to none in their array of knowledge of the commercial HVAC industry. EB&I is the most highly certified test and balance company in the southwest, being NEBB and TABB certified with national board positions with SMACNA, NEMI, and NEMIC. We can test control systems, evaluate system operation, perform building airtightness testing and blower door testing, conduct duct leakage tests, and commission systems. We know heating and cooling, air, and water.
The staff of EB&I has been involved with and has completed well over 8000 projects in New Mexico and the surrounding areas. Recent large jobs have included Covid-19 Emergency work at Gibson Medical Center, Chinle, Arizona Community Center, and the New Mexico Veteran's Hospital, Christus St. Vincent Hospital. Main TAB and IAQ services have included work at The University of New Mexico Physics and Astronomy, Seargent Majors Academy in El Paso, TX, Rust Medical Center, The Santa Fe Medical Center, The Blake Lodge in the Taos Ski Valley, Sandia Casino and Hotel, The New Mexico Sunport, Cibola High School Renovation, Amazon, Facebook, Los Alamos National Labs, CYFD, and many more. No project is too big or too small.
In an industry that moves fast, when an accurate test and balance is required, we know how to get the job done.
