Employee Spotlight – Trevor Staton

We’re excited to highlight one of our dedicated HVAC Service Technicians,  Trevor Staton, whose commitment to learning and teamwork makes a strong impact every day.

Since joining the company, he has taken pride in growing his knowledge and expanding his skill set in the field. That dedication has paid off—he’s been promoted in a short amount of time, a reflection of his strong work ethic and eagerness to improve.

What first attracted him to the company was the opportunity to work on large projects and the ability to promote from within—and those opportunities are exactly what continue to keep him here. He appreciates the company culture most, noting that everyone gets along and is always willing to help each other, which makes even challenging jobs go more smoothly.

When asked what advice he’d give to new employees, his answer is simple but powerful: don’t be afraid to reach out for help or ask questions. Learning from others is key to success in this field.

Outside of work, he enjoys restoring classic vehicles, a passion that started early—fun fact: he put together his first vehicle before he could even drive!

He describes the company’s mission as providing quality work in a timely manner to ensure customers’ equipment operates at its best, a value he clearly lives out in his day-to-day work.

We’re proud to have him on the team and look forward to seeing his continued growth and success!

Indoor Air Quality Matters: Protecting Productivity and Health in Commercial Spaces

For building owners and facility managers across Virginia and West Virginia, indoor air quality (IAQ) directly impacts both employee health and business performance. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency reports that Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors, where pollutant levels can be two to five times higher than outdoor air. Poor indoor air quality increases the risk of respiratory illness, allergic reactions, and decreased productivity—costing businesses billions in lost work days annually.

The business case for improving IAQ is compelling. Research cited by Emerald Built Environments demonstrates that good indoor air quality can increase productivity by up to 4% and boost cognitive function by 61%. Better air quality also reduces absenteeism and improves employee morale.

Common IAQ Problems in Commercial Buildings

Neglected HVAC systems allow biological contaminants, chemical fumes, and particulates to accumulate, triggering allergies and asthma in occupants. Humidity imbalances create additional problems: excess moisture fosters mold growth, while overly dry air irritates mucous membranes. Addressing these issues requires three key strategies: adequate ventilation, pollutant source control, and proper filtration.

 

Comprehensive IAQ Solutions

Young’s Mechanical Solutions, a family-owned and operated mechanical contractor based in Harrisonburg, Virginia, offers comprehensive IAQ solutions for commercial and industrial facilities throughout Virginia and West Virginia. Our design-build teams engineer HVAC systems that provide adequate outside air intake and proper duct distribution while using high-efficiency filters and UV air purification to capture particulates and deactivate pathogens.

For schools, offices, healthcare facilities, and industrial buildings, we balance ventilation systems to meet current codes and install humidity-control equipment to prevent mold growth. Our IAQ services include:

  • HVAC system design and engineering
  • High-efficiency filtration systems
  • UV air purification technology
  • Humidity control solutions
  • Ventilation balancing and optimization
  • Regular maintenance and filter replacement programs

Protecting Your Investment in People

A proactive IAQ strategy isn’t just about equipment—it’s about protecting the people who keep your organization running. Healthier, more comfortable employees are more productive and take fewer sick days. In turn, businesses save on healthcare costs and energy expenses because properly maintained systems operate efficiently.

Whether you operate an office in Ashburn, a data center in Loudoun County, or a manufacturing facility in Martinsburg, Young’s Mechanical Solutions can design, service, and upgrade your HVAC system to improve indoor air quality.

Contact Young’s Mechanical Solutions today to schedule an IAQ assessment and develop a preventive maintenance plan that keeps your commercial space healthy, productive, and compliant.

Building a Career in Commercial HVAC & Plumbing: Why Skilled Trades Matter More Than Ever

For those who value hands-on work and long-term stability, the skilled trades offer compelling career opportunities. Trade employers across America are actively hiring, offering competitive wages, accelerated training programs, and signing bonuses to fill critical roles in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and related fields.

Several factors are driving this demand: nearly one-third of the skilled workforce is over 50 and nearing retirement, hands-on repair and installation work cannot be automated or outsourced, and significant investment in infrastructure and building systems is creating sustained demand. Skilled tradespeople today enjoy competitive pay, strong benefits, and the freedom to choose employers who value their expertise.

 

The Numbers Tell the Story

Federal labor data confirms the opportunity. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that employment of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers (HVAC technicians) will grow 8% from 2024 to 2034, adding approximately 40,100 job openings per year. Employment of plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters is projected to grow 4% over the same period, with about 44,000 annual job openings.

These trades offer competitive median wages—$62,970 for plumbers in 2024—and provide recession-resistant employment. Unlike jobs vulnerable to outsourcing or automation, you cannot remotely fix a malfunctioning chiller or install commercial piping systems from overseas.

Building Your Career at Young’s Mechanical Solutions

Young’s Mechanical Solutions, founded by Jake and Darla Young, is a family-owned and operated mechanical contractor based in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Serving commercial and industrial clients throughout Virginia and West Virginia, the company specializes in design-build mechanical services including HVAC, plumbing, piping, sheet-metal fabrication, and building automation controls.

As a family-owned business, Young’s Mechanical Solutions understands that employees are the foundation of quality service and long-term success. The company invests in training and career development, creating pathways for both experienced professionals and those new to the trades.

  • HVAC service technicians
  • Plumbers and pipefitters
  • Welders
  • Sheet-metal fabricators

  • Estimators

For those new to the trades, apprenticeship opportunities provide the chance to earn while you learn through on-the-job training alongside experienced mentors.

More Than Just a Paycheck

A career in the skilled trades offers meaningful work. Technicians solve complex problems, work with advanced building automation and energy-efficient systems, and see the tangible results of their efforts every day. The work is varied, the challenges are real, and the skills you develop become more valuable over time.

The Role of HVAC in Back-to-School Season

As buses roll through towns like Timberville, Elkton, and Bridgewater, schools across the Shenandoah Valley are welcoming students back. Behind the scenes, reliable HVAC systems play a bigger role in education than many people realize.

Indoor air quality directly affects student performance and teacher comfort. When systems are neglected, classrooms can become stuffy, humid, or even unhealthy. With more attention than ever on air circulation, especially since the pandemic, schools need HVAC systems they can count on.

September is also the time when cooling loads are still present during warmer afternoons, but mornings can be chilly. That means schools in Harrisonburg or even further east in Winchester need systems that transition seamlessly between cooling and heating.

At Young’s Mechanical Solutions, we’ve worked with educational facilities throughout Virginia and eastern West Virginia to ensure classrooms remain comfortable and safe. Our team provides routine maintenance, energy-efficient upgrades, and even custom ductwork fabrication to keep systems running at peak performance.

A dependable HVAC system isn’t just about comfort—it’s about creating an environment where learning thrives. From elementary schools in Broadway to university buildings in Harrisonburg, we’re here to support the Valley’s education community.
