CMS Controls

CMS Controls operates from Valley View, Ohio, as a building automation and control systems contractor founded in 1971. The company specializes in serving commercial facilities throughout Ohio and maintains additional presence in Atlanta, Charleston, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Charlotte, and the Mid-Atlantic region. Their portfolio spans educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and commercial buildings, with a focus on open-platform technical solutions that allow interoperability across different building system manufacturers. The company offers remote monitoring capabilities and web-based user interfaces that enable facility managers to oversee building operations from centralized dashboards.

What distinguishes CMS Controls from traditional HVAC contractors is their emphasis on building automation and energy management rather than equipment sales. They provide systems integration services that connect disparate building systems, lighting controls with retrofit options, and energy analysis with ESS solutions. The company positions itself as a partner for businesses seeking to optimize energy usage and achieve sustainability goals through automated controls. Their thermal imaging services allow for predictive maintenance and identification of inefficiencies within existing building systems.

A reviewer from Edgerton Schools detailed their experience working with CMS Controls engineers Brooks and Derek during an equipment upgrade project. The reviewer described the team as punctual, reliable, and consistently available throughout the process. Brooks and Derek provided clear explanations of technical details and maintained proactive communication, keeping the school maintenance team informed while identifying issues that had previously gone undetectable. This testimonial highlights the company's approach to collaborative project management and technical expertise in guiding clients through complex system upgrades.
