American Combustion Industries, Inc. (ACI) was established in 1976 as a boiler and refractory repair business serving Maryland, Washington D.C., and Northern Virginia. Over the years, ACI has expanded its services to focus on mechanical and electrical system installations and renovations. This includes retrofit of all types of heating and cooling systems and associated construction services. Today, ACI is a leader in the construction and full service of mechanical and electrical systems used in commercial facilities.

As a complete facility support provider, ACI has the capabilities to offer a list of complementary services in addition to its traditional focus on mechanical and electrical contracting. These expanded services consist of engineering and design/build services, general contracting and construction management, system commissioning, testing and operation, environmental and energy conservation services, energy commodities, and project financing. ACI also has specific expertise in combined heating, cooling, and power generation for central plant operations, colleges and universities, hospitals, and other critical-use facilities.

ACI has installed systems for building owners such as The Union Station Development Authority, The District of Columbia Government, The Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Delta Chemical, Tobyhanna Army Depot, Quantico Marine Corps Facility, The Naval Security Station, and many other government and commercial installations. This past year, ACI was awarded the installation contract for the largest HVAC Combined Cooling, Heating, and Power project ever awarded in the Washington, DC area with a total value of more than $60 million dollars.
