Our Story
At Kalamazoo Mechanical, Inc. (KMI) our story and business are based on family and relationships.
Since 1985, KMI has been locally owned and operated in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Originally founded by Irv Cornish, a New York native, the business is now second-generation owned and operated by Carson Cornish.
As a result, Carson describes KMI as a Midwest company with New York flair.
“We strive to build lasting, authentic relationships with our clients. We want to support them and have their back by getting in front of their issues. Our goal is to earn their trust through our credibility.”
KMI has been a perpetual leader in all facets of commercial HVAC/R, design, installation, and service—including installations in prominent schools, manufacturing and medical facilities, office complexes, churches, and much more. Our spirit of continual improvement means we are seasoned in all emerging trends of the HVAC industry, such as environmentally friendly refrigerants, sustainable construction, indoor air quality, and safety.

“I was born and raised in this business. Dad taught me the value of hard work, literally side-by-side on more projects than I can count. Plumb, straight, and level are just the start . . . it’s got to be done right.”
