    KNOXVILLE, TN — Family-owned and operated Interstate Mechanical Contractors (IMC) of Knoxville is announcing the launch of a new company - Interstate Mechanical Service (IMS). The birth of this new business is a direct result of the demand experienced by IMC from customers seeking quality service and management for HVAC, plumbing and controls.

    While mechanical and plumbing service has been a division of IMC since 1996, the new company is solely focused on providing HVAC, plumbing, and controls services to commercial and industrial facilities such as schools, healthcare facilities, worship centers, and retail establishments in Knoxville and the East Tennessee region. In addition to providing general services, IMS offers 24/7 emergency service for its clients.

    “Through this new service-focused business, we will assist facilities with the management of their building operations, while also identifying energy-saving solutions to help them save on costs,” says Chris Smith, manager of IMS. “By combining HVAC, plumbing and controls services under one company, we’re able to eliminate the need for multiple contracts and be more responsive to our customers’ needs.”

    Since 1982, IMC has been primarily known for HVAC/plumbing commercial and industrial construction, but Interstate Mechanical’s president and CEO Terry Self notes in recent years they have seen an uptick in the demand for on-call, 24/7 service.

    “Interstate has been providing service and repair for a long time, but now we have grown to the point to where our service division should now stand as its own, established business,” said Self.

    “It’s incredible to see how far Interstate has come – from starting out with five employees to now functioning in two companies with almost 150 employees. This change allows Interstate to be a one-stop shop for all things mechanical.”

    IMS is located at IMC’s Henson Road office in Knoxville. For more information, visit www.interstatemechanical.com.
