Established in 1948 in Denver, Colorado, Tolin Mechanical initially focused on mechanical refrigeration construction and services. Over the years, our offerings have grown into a full suite of services related to technical and mechanical systems.
Tolin also geographically developed in an effort to more effectively serve our clients. First in Colorado, with offices in Fort Collins, Silverthorne, and Colorado Springs. Later, at the request of clients that enjoyed the service experience in Colorado, we opened offices in Phoenix, Arizona, and Washington D.C.
Tolin Mechanical's portfolio includes a wide variety of commercial clients. Each of our clients, regardless of size, is treated with a level of professionalism rarely found in the industry. While our national presence has expanded through the years and been amplified through our parent company, Service Logic, our success is based on our deep local relationships and one-on-one interaction with our clients.
"Dedicated to maintaining the world's most efficient buildings" is not just a saying at Tolin; it's the way we do business. We believe energy sustainability is a journey, not an event, so we build long-term client relationships to achieve this mission. While our core business is servicing HVAC and mechanical systems, we have deployed a wide variety of programs to accommodate all our customers' needs. We have developed a comprehensive and integrated sustainability program that, when partnered with our best-in-class maintenance offering, is something no building should be without.
One thing for certain is that it takes a best-in-class staff to provide a best-in-class offering. Our staff of customer-centric individuals is made up of some of the most talented engineers, technicians, and sales professionals in the industry. Our talent is evenly dispersed throughout our locations. Our employees have extensive knowledge in their fields, helped by an industry-leading education program through our parent company. While many of our employees have been with the organization for years, we are constantly sourcing the best and brightest talent available.
To provide our clients with quality service requires an investment in outstanding business systems. Tolin Mechanical has invested in a state-of-the-art service dispatch center and a customized tracking and tasking system. VoIP, Data, Accounting and CRM tools are integrated to deliver the consistent, high-quality service our customer base has grown to expect. These systems are the invisible backbone of our organization, ensuring simplicity and consistency for our clients while helping to free them of burdensome minutiae so they can focus on their core business.

Tolin Mechanical: A known leader in helping keep climates under control!
"There's a homegrown company that has over 60 years of experience in keeping Colorado residents comfortable, regardless of the season. Tolin Mechanical (Tolin), based in Denver with offices in Colorado Springs, Silverthorne, and Fort Collins, specializes in providing HVAC, refrigeration and building operations to clients while reducing their systems energy use and saving them money. By utilizing local ownership and national resources, as well as employing experienced energy engineers, Tolin has developed a company capable of evaluating and optimizing energy efficiency and performance within clients' HVAC systems. Considering that 60% of an office buildings energy is allocated to HVAC mechanical systems, Tolin works to decrease the energy load and thus, helps clients not only save money, but also become more sustainable.
This latter component is interwoven into the Tolin Mechanical fabric, as they not only assist clients in achieving Energy Star ratings and LEED Green Building Status, but they themselves are an Energy Star Partner whose corporate headquarters are Energy Star rated. Beyond this, Tolin has many staff members who have LEED accreditation or are members of the Association of Energy Engineers. Their commitment to sustainability doesn't stop there as they utilize GPS devices within every one of their 140 fleet vehicles to reduce unneeded mileage. Tom Padilla, Tolin's Vice President of Colorado Sales, mentioned that after being inspired by Dave Joslyn, their first energy engineer, they've begun integrating "Advancing Clean Energy" license plates into their fleet, with a total of 46 so far! As we all know, this helps them get recognized for their sustainable efforts while also supporting carbon reduction projects throughout Colorado.
With a wealth of experience and a laundry list of sustainable credentials, the Colorado Carbon Fund is proud to recognize Tolin Mechanical for its contributions to the Fund and its ongoing commitment and support to its home state - Colorado!"
