Engineering

At Mediterranean, we have a fully staffed engineering department that works diligently to calculate and design your heating/air conditioning or solar system to your home’s specifications.  Without performing engineering for your project, designing your new system is just guesswork………and unfortunately, the majority of today’s contractors don’t engineer.  The mathematics and physics of properly heating and cooling your home is a step that cannot be skipped, and our dedication to engineering at Mediterranean has won us awards and acclaim.   

Southern California Gas Company: "CONGRATULATIONS on being named 'Contractor of the Year' by Contracting Business Magazine. Your focus on ensuring proper and concise airflow will go a long way to help customers obtain the best performance and energy savings from their HVAC system."

Gary Kline, California Energy Commission: "You're only one of a handful of contractors who really understand how energy efficiency and comfort goes beyond the heating and air conditioning equipment and requires a complete look at the whole house and duct system."

Bob Schwed, Senior Editor, Contracting Business Magazine: “The things that they (Mediterranean) do in a household, there are very few contractors in the country that do that.”

Los Angeles Daily News: “Mediterranean was selected best among the nation’s contractors.”

“It is very possible for a contractor to install a high efficiency hvac system, or a large solar array and for the customer to only achieve a portion of the efficiency that they purchased and believed that they would be enjoying” remarked Mediterranean engineer Carey Gladhill.  “When the paperwork for a new installation hits my desk, I know that I have a very important obligation to the homeowner.  We don’t expect for them to understand friction rates, heat transfer, cfm, and load requirements…….that is our job.  We protect their investment, and design the system that their home is asking for.  Each home tells us what it needs.  And this process is what sets us apart from everyone else."
