Company History

Founded in 1978 by John E. Shekell, the business began as a one-van heating and air operation. Over time it expanded into plumbing and electrical work. A key growth step came in the 1980s with the acquisition of George Koch Sons' service center, making Shekell a major HVAC presence in the Tri-State. The 2000 purchase of WSC Associates added in-house design and engineering capability, enabling larger design/build and plan/spec projects.

Leadership

Kevin, an Evansville native and Reitz High graduate, rose through hands-on roles: residential installer, service technician, salesman, estimator and project manager. He holds an A.A.S. in Industrial Technology, a B.S. in Organizational Management, and an MBA. Kevin became Vice President of Construction in 2004 and was named President in 2009. He has served locally with the SMACNA chapter and remains active in community and trade efforts.
