Industry-leading design/build mechanical
We build what keeps it running.
Employee-owned mechanical contractor. Engineering, fabrication, controls, and service for commercial, industrial, and institutional projects across Southern California since 1978.
A family business since 1978, owned today by the people who build the work.
Couts Heating & Cooling is a full-service mechanical contractor, carrying clients from the earliest stages of design through final completion and the full life of the installation. The same crews who detail, fabricate, and install also own the outcome.
