NRG Management

Our Story

Every company has a story. Ours begins in 1994 when our President - Bill Rodger realized that all mechanical and electrical contractors are energy companies. We don’t just build things; we create systems that manage a buildings energy use.

Having spent extensive time in the industry as a salesman and estimator working for several mechanical contractors, Bill started NRG because he felt that the energy efficiency market was being ignored by conventional mechanical contractors. The industry was falling behind the times: too used to putting in the same systems, and too resistant to adopting green technologies.

At NRG we take a different approach. We understand that your company is unique, and that your buildings systems must be tailored to your needs. A different approach means specific analysis and audits to access your needs coupled with complete installation and preventive maintenance support. We provide complete mechanical and electrical services for the Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Sectors (ICI) and thanks to our highly qualified team of construction professionals and support personnel we are ahead of the curve on quality, timeliness and reliability. Our projects exhibit a high rate of internal return, typically paying for themselves within a small number of years, after which they actually pay you through utilities and maintenance cost savings. We like to call it Complete Energy Management Solutions.

Our story is simple: we don’t accept the easy answers; we were green builders before it was trendy, and we save our clients’ money every project, every time.

Our Greenvision

Building green buildings is about reducing a buildings environmental footprint.

We can do this by using less water and conserving more energy thorough highly efficient mechanical / electrical systems and by integrating renewable technologies that allow onsite energy generation.  The challenge is to accomplish these efficiency gains while increasing a buildings comfort levels.  The best solutions integrate these elements cost effectively into a building.

Since our incorporation NRG has been the leading Solar system provider in the prairies, first with Solar Thermal Air Heating and now with Solar Water Heating and Solar Photovoltaic Electrical applications.  We’ve consistently found great uses for solar energy on our clients buildings for longer than any of our competitors.  Please visit our distribution division NRG SUPPLY if your interested in more information.

We are on the vanguard of green technology adoption in our industry, whether high efficiency boilers, air make up units, low flush plumbing fixtures or infrared heating we are constantly researching the greenest technologies and installation methods.  We have extensive experience complying with LEED™ and BOMA Best™ standard projects and offer in house energy audits as part of our design-build process.

Internally, we are always striving to green our operations as much as possible.  It’s about the small things like being proud supporters of the Sustainable forestry management FSC™ paper; or making sure that when people stop by for coffee, its served fresh and hot in organic corn cups.  A greenvision has to be supported from the top, our president drives a hybrid vehicle and has committed to hybridizing our entire fleet of company vehicles by 2014.  These moves aren’t just about public relations, they make our workplace healthier and save us money.
