Howe, Inc. has been handling the mechanical systems that most buildings can't function without — heating, cooling, plumbing, fire protection — out of their downtown Sioux Falls location on E 3rd Street.
They operate as a mechanical contractor across both commercial and residential work, with capabilities that run from design-build HVAC systems to furnace installation, AC repair, emergency plumbing, and fire protection engineering. That design-build piece matters: they can take a project from concept through commissioning, which cuts out the coordination friction that tanks timelines on complex mechanical scopes.
Commercial general contractors and facility managers tend to keep Howe on their short list because the engineering chops are in-house — you're not waiting on a third party to spec the system before work can begin. No handoff delays, no blame-shifting between a designer and an installer when something doesn't perform. That's a meaningful difference when a building's mechanical systems are on the critical path.
