Cox-Powell Corporation has been a trusted provider of HVAC and mechanical solutions for over 75 years, serving commercial and industrial clients across Virginia. Founded in 1946 by William Cox, the company emerged from the wartime expansion of services and has grown significantly since its beginnings. Initially focused on HVAC services, the company expanded its offerings over the years to include comprehensive mechanical contracting, electrical services, plumbing, and advanced controls systems.
One of the key milestones in the company's history was the acquisition by John Kerner in 1984, who brought extensive experience from Honeywell, helping to elevate the company's offerings and operational scope. Further expansions in 2005 allowed Cox-Powell to enhance its service portfolio through the acquisition of Olde Towne Electric, enabling them to provide a full spectrum of mechanical and electrical services to a diverse range of industries, including food and beverage, metals, and pulp and paper.
Today, Cox-Powell boasts a skilled workforce of nearly 100 employees, including service technicians, project installers, and IT professionals, ensuring a seamless operation and high-quality service delivery. The company emphasizes integrity, quality, safety, and teamwork as its core values, positioning itself as a dependable partner in tackling complex projects. With a focus on maximizing efficiency and productivity, Cox-Powell also offers preventative maintenance plans and project consultations to meet clients' needs. Operating throughout the Virginia and North Carolina regions, Cox-Powell remains committed to providing excellence in mechanical, electrical, controls, and plumbing solutions to uphold its longstanding reputation in the industry.
