Danny Altland Employee Spotlight

Young’s Mechanical is proud to feature Daniel Altland as our employee spotlight! Danny has been with Young’s Mechanical since the company was founded and is a supervisor of one of our sheet metal crews.  I asked Danny to share a few things about himself and why he chooses to be a part of the YMS team.  Danny shared that some of his greatest accomplishments are the quality of work and the owners having the trust in him to do what he does. He also has learned more about things outside of his trade labor by working in a smaller company.  He feels this additional knowledge helps him be a better asset to the company and to the other team members.  The reason he decided to work for YMS was because of the owners.  Danny feels as though he is treated as a value to company rather than just a number.  When asked what he liked most about the environment and culture of Young’s Mechanical, his answer was trust!  In Danny’s spare time, he enjoys spending time with his new grandsons and a fun fact about Danny is that Robert E. Lee was his great uncle x5!  Danny also shared that ‘good values’ is what he would say to describe the mission of Young’s Mechanical.

Thank you, Danny, for your hard work each day!  We are blessed to have you as part of our family!!

How Commercial Kitchens and Breweries Can Get Ready for Cooler Weather

Posted by admin on

Restaurants, breweries, and commercial kitchens are cornerstones of the Shenandoah Valley economy. From breweries in Lexington and Waynesboro to restaurants in Harrisonburg and Martinsburg, each one relies on a dependable HVAC system to keep operations running smoothly.

As cooler weather approaches, kitchens and brewing facilities face unique challenges. Proper ventilation is critical to keep air moving and equipment running safely. Breweries, for example, produce heat and moisture during the brewing process, and without balanced HVAC, that moisture can become a problem when colder air sets in.

For restaurants, fall is an ideal time to check both front-of-house comfort and back-of-house ventilation. Nobody wants diners in Staunton or Winchester enjoying a fall menu while sitting under a drafty vent—or worse, smelling kitchen exhaust.

At Young’s Mechanical Solutions, we work closely with kitchens and breweries to prepare their systems for seasonal changes. That might mean cleaning and balancing ventilation, installing upgraded controls, or simply performing preventive maintenance so equipment doesn’t quit on a busy Friday night.

Cooler weather also brings lower energy demand. That makes fall a cost-effective time for businesses to tackle HVAC improvements before the holiday rush.

Whether you run a café in Broadway or a brewery in Charlottesville, we can help keep your facility comfortable, safe, and efficient this fall.

Innovative HVAC Solutions for the City of Waynesboro’s New Fire Station No. 2

Posted by admin on

At Young’s Mechanical Solutions, we’re proud to be part of a forward-thinking project that’s setting a new standard for public safety infrastructure in our region. Currently, our team is hard at work on the City of Waynesboro’s New Fire Station No. 2, partnering with Lantz Construction Company to provide full HVAC installation for the facility.

In the field, Johnny Moran, Madison Chandler, and Jake Young have been collaborating closely to coordinate the placement of key mechanical systems, ensuring seamless integration and top-tier performance once the station goes live.

A Project That Stands Out

What makes this fire station unique is its innovative use of radiant floor heating — not just inside the building, but also beneath the exterior apparatus bay apron, which will include a snow-melt system. This feature will keep response times quick and safety at the forefront, no matter the weather conditions.

The radiant heat is served by two Air-to-Water Heat Pumps, a technology more commonly found in colder climates but still relatively rare in our area. By incorporating this solution, the new fire station is stepping into the future of energy-efficient heating—something we’re excited to help implement here in the Shenandoah Valley.

In addition to the radiant heating, the HVAC system includes:

  • (8) Split System Heat Pumps

  • (1) Split System A/C Unit

  • (2) Dedicated Outdoor Air Systems (DOAS Units)

This layered and efficient HVAC design ensures comfort, reliability, and energy-conscious performance for every part of the station.

Proud to Serve Our Community

Projects like this reflect what Young’s Mechanical is all about—delivering creative, cost-effective mechanical solutions while supporting the communities we serve. It’s an honor to help build systems that will keep our local firefighters safe, comfortable, and ready to respond.

Design‑Build Expertise: Streamlining HVAC & Plumbing Construction Projects

Posted by admin on

When it comes to commercial construction, choosing the right project delivery method can make the difference between success and frustration. Traditional design–bid–build projects separate the design and construction phases, often leading to miscommunication, change orders and delays. Design‑build, on the other hand, integrates both phases under one roof. Young’s Mechanical Solutions is a partner of choice for general contractors and building owners seeking a design‑build contractor, offering a streamlined path from concept to completion.

Why Design‑Build?

In a design‑build arrangement, a single entity takes responsibility for both the design and construction of the project. This unified approach reduces the potential for misalignment between designers and installers. Industry experts note that design‑build contracting reduces project risk by eliminating communication gaps and providing a single point of responsibility. Integrated teams also control budgets more effectively and can fast‑track projects by overlapping design and construction phases. The result is cost savings, faster completion and better quality control.

The Young’s Mechanical Approach

Young’s Mechanical Solutions couples the design‑build philosophy with deep mechanical expertise. During the planning phase, the company works closely with owners and general contractors to select the solution that makes the most sense for the project and to implement it quickly and efficiently. On every project, the company assigns a project manager, field superintendent, engineer and other staff as needed to manage the construction process. Strong coordination between trades ensures that mechanical and electrical installations are properly sequenced, while careful reporting and cost control keep stakeholders informed. At the end of the job, thorough commissioning and project closeout activities guarantee that systems perform as intended.

Benefits to Building Owners

For building owners and facility managers, design‑build offers several advantages beyond speed and cost. A unified team fosters better collaboration and innovative problem‑solving. Quality control improves because one entity oversees all aspects of construction. Clients also benefit from the convenience of having a single point of contact for questions, changes and approvals. When unexpected issues arise—as they often do in construction—a design‑build team can adapt quickly without the blame‑shifting common in traditional arrangements. With experienced sheet‑metal, piping and plumbing crews on staff and in‑house fabrication capabilities, Young’s Mechanical Solutions offers the capacity to tackle complex mechanical projects from start to finish.

Planning Your Next Project

If you’re considering a new commercial build or renovation, explore the advantages of design‑build contracting. Working with a mechanical contractor that offers integrated design and construction services can streamline your project, reduce risk and improve quality. Contact Young’s Mechanical Solutions to learn more about how a design‑build partnership can help bring your vision to life.
