Ener-Tel Services, based in San Angelo, Texas, started in 1984 as an automation controls company for heating and cooling units, explains General Sales Manager Ron Pullen. “The owner also did a lot of work for Verizon, so the ‘Ener’ is for energy management and the ‘tel’ is for telco. We started off as an energy management company and grew into all the other categories like fire, CCTV, access control, home and business security, and fire alarm and sprinkler. We do residential, light commercial and have a commercial group that does the integration side, talking to architects and engineers.”
While the company had certainly grown over the years, it took new leadership to move Ener-Tel to new heights. The company was purchased in March 2017 and by 2018 debuted on both the SDM Top Systems Integrators Report at No. 69, and on the SDM 100 at No. 99.
