The diversity of HVAC allows contractors to expand their businesses in creative and varied ways. For some, growth comes with the use of a franchise. For others, it comes with a new sector of HVAC business, like hydronic installations or ductless equipment. Then there are contractors who stick with what they know in their current HVAC business and grow by adding another trade to the company altogether.
That is the case for Advanced Mechanical Inc. in Bismarck, North Dakota. Now owned and run by husband-and-wife team Brian and Jami Benz, this business began with another owner who started the company in 1980 and hired Brian Benz in 1986.
