A History of Service
We’ve also served a variety of buildings and environments over the years. Our unique expertise is a result of working on military bases, mines and data centers to grocery stores, office towers and manufacturing plants. We’ve also added a Millwright division, Plumbing services and an in-house piping fabrication shop to better serve our clients.
As we look back on our history, we are proud of our accomplishments. As we look forward, we are excited for many more years of making buildings work better!

There aren’t any exciting stories that stick out in my mind, and I would consider that a good thing. All of my experiences working with you and your team have been very positive. Many of the conversations had with the Clinic Facilities Team lead to the topic of Yale being one of our most trusted and reliable partners!

Our Community
Not only are the employees at Yale Mechanical focused on making buildings work better, they also help make our community better. They recently partnered with local businesses and a volunteer group to help break district collection records during a recent Bloomington Public Schools food drive.
Bloomington’s public schools and 14 other organizations – from civic partners to area businesses – amassed 67,828 pounds of non-perishable food items, including cash conversions that estimate each dollar donated can purchase up to five pounds of food. All proceeds went to Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People (VEAP), a nonprofit dedicated to serving low-income households and individuals in Bloomington, Edina and Richfield.
In addition to exceeding its goal of 60,000 pounds, this year’s collection beat the previous record of 67,020 pounds set in 2013. Since 2009, the drive has brought in 335,200 pounds of food for communities in need. To learn more about VEAP food drives and to find out how to get involved, visit Veap.org.
