Kevin Van Horn
Leadership
Kevin began his career in the plumbing industry at a very early age.
He can vividly remember long, hot days working for his dad's plumbing company on his high school summer breaks. He often credits this chapter of his life with developing a lifelong passion for working with his hands. When he graduated high school, Kevin knew that four years at a university did not suit his personality. Knowing that he needed a career and not just a job, he joined Local 72 as a plumbing apprentice.
After working on construction sites with pipefitters and welders, he developed an interest in pipe welding and rigging. After long consideration, he decided to concentrate on hydronic heating and cooling systems and move away from domestic water and sanitary systems.
Kevin excelled quickly in this area of the mechanical industry. After competing in the UA apprentice competition at a national level, he soon became Local 72's Pipefitter Apprentice of the Year. His years in the construction industry provided exposure to complex mechanical piping systems and the equipment that makes it all work.
Using his past work experience and achievements, he was able to move into the mechanical service industry. It was here that he gained extensive knowledge in the operation of mechanical equipment and how to troubleshoot and repair this equipment.
Once he reached his goal of learning everything in this industry, from install to service, it was time for him to start on his lifelong goal of business ownership. This led to the birth of HVH Mechanical Partners LLC.
Here at HVH Mechanical Partners LLC, Kevin meets with customers to discuss solutions to the concerns they have with their building’s mechanical and plumbing systems. He interacts with suppliers and vendors to ensure HVH can service its customers efficiently and economically. He works with our office and field teams to ensure that customer service is our highest priority.
At HVH Mechanical Partners LLC, we use the knowledge of our industry to meet the needs of our customers and their equipment — knowledge that can only be obtained by "hands-on experience" at all stages of a mechanical system's life.
