When Computrols began manufacturing in the early 90s, we made a conscious decision from day one, to always include true universal inputs and outputs on our flagship parent-level control boards. The way our founders saw it, if we chose to restrict the total number of points to a combination of binary and analog-only points, we would ham-string our technicians, distribution partners, and customers that strive to be self-performers.

Computrols, a leading US manufacturer of Building Automation Systems and DDC controllers is excited to announce our latest Authorized Distribution Partner – Allied Plumbing, Air and Electric
Allied Plumbing, Air and Electric started in Springdale, Arkansas as a family business 35 years ago and about 3 years ago, they acquired a local HVAC company as a means of expanding their portfolio of services to their customers. According to Shaun Penny, Director of Sales and Business Development for Allied, they were looking to offer a more complete “curb to back fence” solution set. Shaun explains, “We were getting asked (a lot) about HVAC services within our commercial client base. This drove our decision to buy a local company to get a head start in that sector.”

Computrols has added another strong Distribution Partner to our network. Ranor Mechanical based in Jay, Maine is the newest valued member of the Computrols family.
Coming from a traditional plumbing and heating background, friends Raymond and Norman (Ra-Nor) decided to go into business, and in the early ’70s, Norman bought out his business partner. Inheriting the business from his father 15 years ago, Aaron St. Pierre, who had studied mechanical engineering, took over and added the mechanical arm to the business. Historically their customers have been residential based but with the mechanical side of the business coming online, they slowly expanded into more commercial buildings.

Computrols, a leading manufacturer of DDC controllers – alongside our powerful, yet simple, building automation software – is delighted to announce, we have recently added Pro Cooling Inc. as our latest valued Distribution Partner.
Offering service, maintenance, and repair mainly for HVAC control systems, Pro Cooling started in Miami, FL a mere 3 years ago. Their founder Jonathan Gutierrez had graduated from high school and went straight into servicing HVAC systems. Very quickly Jonathan rose through the ranks and became an area supervisor but found along the way that customer service was severely lacking. Knowing that he could offer better service himself, he started Pro Cooling and 3 years later he has a team of 10 people with plans to add up to 3 more technicians to handle their rapidly expanding customer base. They also plan to open their first office which will serve as their headquarters by the end of 2020.
