Piedmont Lends A Helping Hand

On Saturday, April 16, 2011 a series of devastating tornadoes hit many areas of Central and Eastern North Carolina. NC Baptist disaster relief volunteers began doing assessment and disaster recovery as soon as the storms passed. Piedmont Service Group was happy to find this amazing group and donate a check to help them in their efforts.  Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone effected by the storms.

For more information, or to find out how you too can help please visit the Baptist on A Misson website at

New Name...Same Great Company!

Piedmont Air Conditioning was founded in 1971 and we are celebrating our 40 year anniversary throughout all of 2011. Our employees today still strive to deliver the level of service that our founders, Larry and Buddy Kelly, built the company around. Over the last 40 years, the portfolio of services and solutions we offer to our customers has grown exponentially. Piedmont employees are working with customers to help them

• Develop and implement cost effective preventative maintenance programs

• Design and build energy efficient mechanical systems for their buildings

• Design and install state of the art energy management and building automation systems

• Identify, design, and install energy efficiency measures aimed at reducing the utility costs, utility consumption, and carbon footprint of commercial facilities

• Address indoor air quality issues

• Identify and correct electrical system issues

• Construct and maintain LEED rated buildings

In an effort to insure our current and future customers are aware of the vast array of value added services offered by Piedmont, we have elected to change our name from “Piedmont Air Conditioning” to “Piedmont Service Group”. This change will be effective on April 11th, 2011. There has been no change in ownership of the company. Over the next couple of months, you will see our new name and logo show up on trucks, signs, invoices, proposals, and other various areas.

Our new website will be www.piedmontservicegroup.com and our new email addresses will be @piedmontsg.com instead of @piedmontac.com.

This is a very exciting time for us and we are glad to share it with you!

Congatulations!!!

As many of you already know Piedmont recently hosted a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) class in which participants from Piedmont, other Service Logic companies and outsiders reviewed CEM material, studied hard, and took the CEM exam. 

Special congratulations to Chris Turner, Shane Corbett, Mark Fowler and Scott Gugenheim for successfully passing the test.  This is a great accomplishment for these 4 as individuals and as members of the Piedmont Team. 

We anticipate continuing the process of CEM certification for the others who participated with continuing class, study and testing.  One of the most important things for all of us to remember is that this class greatly increased and enhanced our knowledge about energy concepts, financial impacts and energy strategies.  Everyone who participated in the class is smarter now than they were when they started.  Without regard to testing outcome, this alone made it worth it for all of us.  For that we thank all of the participants.  

Great job everyone!!!!

-Peter Williams, President
