KELLAM MECHANICAL NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED
Kellam Mechanical opened April 1, 1995. For 21 years Scott Kellam has dedicated his time and energy into the business he loves because he loves the HVAC industry. As a teenager in 1977, he learned the trade from his father and grandfather in their family owned and operated Heating, Air Conditioning and Electrical business and loved working there until he decided to start his own adventure. When you ask him what else he would do for a living if he were not in the HVAC business, he says with a puzzled look as if there is no other possibility “Nothing, I am right where I have always wanted to be.” Bringing comfort to the families in the Tidewater area of Virginia, where he was born and raised has always been Scott’s focus. Our 4 distinct coastal seasons have kept him quite busy through the years. Making customers comfortable and happy is only half of his goal. Making his family of employees happy and comfortable is the balance. There are many details involved in making a business successful and Scott Kellam has worked hard to balance all of them. With 25 employees to help Kellam Mechanical deliver quality customer service, he has an excellent support system. In addition to running a locally owned business for 21 years, Scott has also been heavily involved in the Virginia Beach community. He loves lending his time volunteering with The Virginia Beach Clean Community Commission, The Chesapeake Bay Foundation, The Virginia Beach Education Foundation and led the local Air Conditioning Contractors of America chapter as President from 2012-2014.
Many business men work very hard for many years without recognition, but Scott Kellam is an exception. He has been blessed to receive recognition on the state and national level. On September 7, 2016 Scott Kellam received the Contractor of the Year award representing the state of Virginia through the Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractor Association. This was an incredible honor to be recognized for our state, but an even more prestigious award followed. On October 21, 2016 he was awarded the National Contractor of the Year through the PHCC Association. Scott Kellam graciously accepted the award in San Antonio, Texas. This was a memorable event and has inspired Scott to keep working hard at maintaining his reputable local Virginia Beach company.
Scott’s reaction to this acknowledgement: “I am honored to be considered a top leader of this industry and many thanks to our loyal customers and employees that have been along for the ride to catapult Kellam Mechanical above the average HVAC business”.

I highly recommend Kellam Mechanical for your heating, cooling and electrical needs. I just recently had my annual maintenance inspection and Jerry W. was very professional and knowledgeable when it came to explaining the process and answering questions about the best filters to use. His efficiency was a breath of fresh air in the hectic world we live in. Thank you to Jerry and the Kellam Mechanical team for taking care of my heating and cooling needs!

Kellam Mechanical has been servicing my HVAC systems for 10 years. They have been most professional throughout these years. My most recent dealings have been with their technician, Jerry Wagner. Jerry is always friendly, courteous and thorough during his review of my system. He always discusses with me at the conclusion exactly how my system is working. It is his concern for making sure I am content as a customer that has caused me to ask Kellam Mechanical for Jerry to always be the technician that comes to service my units. Thank you Kellam Mechanical and Jerry Wagner for always making the maintenance of my heating and air conditioning a very pleasant experience.

THANKFUL FOR GREEN
November is the month to reflect on being thankful. One thing that comes to mind is being thankful for the green mindset that people in our community are adopting more and more every day to improve energy consesrvation. Educating Tidewater, Virginia residents is so important to improve our local environment. There are many ways to become a part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Everyday life can be enhanced so embrace simple changes starting in your own home to conserve energy and reduce waste. Households can be altered using better products, such as installing more efficient appliances. There are so many options to increase your household efficiency, so if all cannot be achieved at once, start planning and budgeting for smart future projects:
1. Programmable thermostats: controlling the comfort in your home with the ability to program your temperature schedule can save you up to $150 in energy costs annually according to the Environment Protection Agency and the Department of Energy.
2. System Maintenance: Schedule you annual heating and cooling system maintenance. This will maximize your comfort system efficiency, saving energy costs and reducing failures. Energy Star research found that will save about $330 annually in heating and cooling costs.
3. Tankless water heater: Installing a tankless water heater saves up to 50% on water heating costs, it is also a spacer saver, delivers endless hot water, reportedly has fewer failures and service rates and has a life expectancy of up to 20 years.
4. High efficient heating and cooling systems: Installing high efficient equipment uses less energy, saving you monthly energy costs. In efforts to reduce energy usage, The Department of Energy is requiring a minimum 14 SEER rating in Virginia effective 1/1/15 for new equipment installations.
5. Go Geothermal: This is the most efficient comfort equipment on the market, using the earth to heat and cool your home and saves up to 70% on energy usage compared to a conventional system. This technology delivers strong returns to your wallet and to the environment.
6. Vacancy sensors: Install vacancy sensor switches to automatically turn off lights as you leave the room to save on your electricity expenses.
7. Insulation: A well-insulated house prevents air leakage, which uses less energy and protects your heating and cooling equipment from being over worked.
Go Green practices on a smaller project scale should be considered:
1. Unplug appliances and electronics not in use
2. Turn the temperature down on your water heater
3. Fix leaky faucets
4. Replace incandescent bulbs with CFL’s
5. Wash clothes in cold water
6. Close your blinds to the summer sun to keep house cooler, open them to the winter sun to warm up
7. Seal around outlets, windows and doors to reduce air leakage
When researching household appliances to make an environmental difference, look for Energy Star rated products. Be thankful for earth friendly practices and products available that enter into our lifestyles to bring environmental responsibility accompanied with savings. It is time to reduce your carbon footprint. Get started, go green and save green.

Imagine Your Home Without Power!
That’s right; imagine a huge Tidewater thunderstorm, snow storm, or hurricane has knocked out your electricity. Your home is dark, the fridge is becoming a food coffin, there’s no way to cook dinner, and the load of laundry is still wet in the dryer. Don’t let your family be cold, hungry, and without hot water in extreme weather. Prepare now.
Your solution is a generator. Your whole home generator senses the outage and within seconds turns on automatically to supply backup electricity until the utility power returns. Whether your electricity does not return for 2 hours or 12 days, having a home backup generator delivers comfort and peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
Kellam Mechanical trusts Generac Whole Home Generators and has been installing them for over 15 years. We are happy to help choose the correct size of generator for your home and family. We can also help you maintain it annually so it will work in your time of need.
As we all know a generator in Virginia Beach can be a life saver during bad weather. Call 757-430-0358 or schedule an appointment online today!
