Rabe Environmental Systems is an industry leading mechanical contractor specializing in the design, installation and service of heating, air conditioning, piping, plumbing and energy management systems for industrial, commercial and institutional applications. Since 1916, the company has been providing customers with the best customer service and support, skilled and knowledgeable staff, and the most up-to-date products and installation techniques. The mission of Rabe Environmental Systems, Inc. is to provide a complete range of mechanical construction services for Industrial, Institutional and Commercial Customers.
Christian Rabe started the company in 1916 as a Plumbing Contractor, with the goal of providing services with integrity, quality and competitive pricing. In the 1940s, the company expanded to offer subcontract installation services for an emerging technology: air conditioning. In 1954, Anthony Patrizia joined the company, bringing the York air conditioning distributorship with him. Sales and installation were now under one roof, and the company was chartered as a registered Pennsylvania Corporation.
Rabe Environmental Systems is aligned with several organizations across the country and in Western Pennsylvania. These professional affiliations are vital resources for consumers to ensure the integrity of a business. We take great pride in being a part of these organizations, as it demonstrates our commitment to a competent and technologically-current workforce. Our company has used Rabe for maintenance contracts, renovations and new construction. Each and every time, Rabe has met or exceeded our expectations.
A successful plumbing project begins with choosing a contractor who is highly experienced in code compliance and construction progress, and uses the most up-to-date, efficient products and installation techniques available. Rabe's field supervisors are highly-skilled at running safe, successful projects, and our management team understands compliance issues that must be considered. Because of the size and complexity of our mechanical systems, Jamestown needed the help of a team of experts to better manage our facility.
Rabe Environmental Systems is a leading expert in the design, fabrication, and installation of particulate and vapor control systems designed to improve the air quality in manufacturing facilities. Rabe will select a control device based on your specific requirements and needs, and ensure an efficient code compliant project. Rabe has the experience to handle major projects as a prime contractor, from permit through start-up.
We understand that comfort and productivity in your building are essential, and that HVAC systems affect your bottom line. Whether it's a multi-million dollar project or a service repair, Rabe has the skills and resources necessary for the most cost-effective design and installation possible. Because we serve as your single source for piping, sheet metal, plumbing, and controls, the need for subcontracting is virtually eliminated. Our automated fabrication equipment provides consistent quality, as well as labor savings.
