Energy Service Company (ESCO) to Prime Mechanical Contractor?

X-L-Air Energy Services Ltd. was registered as a corporation in April 1995 by the founder Nick Haitas. Originally X-L-Air was intended to be an Energy Service Company (ESCO) specializing in financing, designing and constructing energy conservation projects – while guaranteeing the energy cost and savings. Marketplace changes at the time caused a change in direction.

The need was for a mechanical contractor with a high level of design know how to work on challenging energy retrofit projects. A perfect fit for X-L-Air! X-L-Air evolved into a prime mechanical contractor.

Almost two decades later (December 2013) in order to expand its operations both in size and into Mechanical Industrial Work, X-L-Air Energy Services Ltd. joined the Lorneville.

From Concept to Leading Mechanical Contractor

We attribute X-L-Air’s growth and success since its establishment in 1995 to these factors:

X-L-Air has full access to the resources of its parent company Lorneville, including two extensive fabrication facilities, project managers, administrative staff, and a large pool of labour
X-L-Air is well funded and can take on very large projects
We have a business plan that calls for controlled growth based on earnings and available capital instead of borrowed money
We choose projects and work with clients who have similar values to X-L-Air, which means that payment for our work is guaranteed
We have access to a well-trained labour pool through signed agreements with both the sheetmetal and plumbing unions.
Our competent management staff, site supervisors and project managers are university-trained and/or have extensive practical and hands-on trades work and project management experience. They are fully qualified individually and working as a team to deal with all issues that arise:
- at the site,
- project planning and execution,
- technical issues, or
- challenging management issues.
We treat our employees, clients, Engineers, suppliers and sub-contractors fairly and with respect.

Our Corporate Goals

To continue to provide professional service and competitive pricing to our clients

To provide gainful and fulfilling employment to our staff and management team

We take pride in our work and our ability to achieve these goals on every project X-L-Air Energy Services Ltd. undertakes.
