Batchelor's Mechanical Contractors, commonly known as Batchelor's Service, has been a staple in the Mobile Bay area since its inception in 1967 by the father-son duo Bruce and Larry Batchelor. Originally focusing on residential HVAC services, the company experienced rapid growth during the 1970s and expanded its offerings to include commercial HVAC and plumbing solutions as well. In 1980, the company rebranded as Batchelor's Mechanical Contractors as it welcomed new partners to further enhance its service provision.
A significant milestone for the company occurred in the late 1980s when Batchelor's became part of the Service America franchise, paving the way for continued growth. However, in the 1990s, the decision to exit the franchise allowed Batchelor's to refocus on its core services, mainly HVAC installation, maintenance, and repair specifically within the Mobile and Baldwin County regions. Batchelor's commitment to quality service has been a defining trait throughout its history.
In 2002, the company transitioned to new ownership when Edward Leatherbury, a key employee, purchased Batchelor's Service. Following Leatherbury's tragic passing in 2016, the business is now managed by a trust established for his children while retaining key personnel to preserve the company's legacy of excellent customer service. Batchelor’s emphasizes honesty, integrity, and professionalism, ensuring that its customers receive exceptional service not only from trained technicians but from the entire office staff as well.
Today, Batchelor's Service stands as a trusted provider of HVAC, plumbing, and generator services across the greater Mobile area, upholding its promise of 'Service Worth Remembering'. With a focus on creating comfortable living environments for families, Batchelor's continues to be dedicated to enhancing the lives of its clients with reliable and efficient service.
