Impact Climate Technologies (ICT): Driving growth and innovation in commercial HVAC

A trusted leader in commercial HVAC solutions

ICT, the parent company of Tom Barrow and its sister companies, stands as a respected name in the commercial HVAC industry. With his 28 years of experience, CEO Mike Shea has built ICT into a critical partner for mechanical contractors, design engineers, and building owners together with his team. The company provides design-assist engineering and project management services while representing leading suppliers such as Price Industries, Nortek Air Solutions, and Ruskin.

In June 2023, ICT partnered with Trinity Gate Investments to accelerate its growth. Trinity Gate Investments quickly recognized the strong secular tailwinds in the HVAC sector, including the heightened focus on indoor air quality post-COVID and the push for energy efficiency in building systems. These trends are fueling the demand for new and retrofitted HVAC solutions, particularly in high-growth sectors such as data centers and advanced manufacturing.

Growth through strategic acquisitions and market focus

Together, ICT and Trinity Gate Investments have built a broader platform by expanding the executive team and streamlining processes to support a $1 billion business. With Trinity Gate Investments' support, ICT is also leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance efficiency in the design and quoting processes.

The ICT platform now comprises nine partner companies, and its revenue have more than doubled since Trinity Gate Investments' initial investment. Strategic acquisitions have expanded ICT’s product offerings and geographic reach, while targeted efforts in high-growth markets like data centers are already yielding results. A market research initiative, introduced by Trinity Gate Investments, has helped ICT map opportunities and develop a dedicated sales team for these sectors.
