Allied Mechanical & Electrical has served Central Pennsylvania for nearly four decades. The company operates two locations in Central Pennsylvania. Allied provides heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and commercial refrigeration services under one roof. The company is backed by a team that customers have trusted for decades.
For our October 2026 ACiQ Dealer of the Month spotlight, we’re heading to the heart of Pennsylvania to meet Allied Mechanical & Electrical, Inc., a locally rooted company serving State College, Altoona, and communities throughout Centre and Blair counties.
Allied started in 1988 as a small electrical contractor and has grown into one of the region’s most complete home and business service providers. Today, the company offers residential and commercial HVAC, plumbing, electrical, water treatment, commercial refrigeration, and food and beverage equipment service, all backed by licensed technicians and 24-hour emergency service.
Who Is Allied Mechanical & Electrical?
Allied Mechanical & Electrical traces its roots to 1988, when the company opened its doors as State College Electric. Within just a few years, the business expanded beyond electrical work to include plumbing, heating, and other mechanical services, becoming State College Electric and Mechanical.
In the late 1990s, the company acquired L.C. Anderson and took on the name it carries today: Allied Mechanical & Electrical, Inc. That growth reflects a pattern that has defined the company ever since. Rather than staying in a single lane, Allied has steadily added the trades and expertise its customers need, so homeowners and business owners can turn to one trusted team instead of juggling several contractors.
That broad range of experience matters when one problem touches more than one system. A struggling air conditioner can point to an electrical issue. A water heater replacement can involve plumbing, venting, and electrical work. Allied’s team has the background to look at the whole picture and get to the root of the problem.
The People Behind Allied
Allied’s longevity is built on the experience of its team. Todd Horne, Director of Operations, has been part of Central Pennsylvania’s mechanical and electrical industry since 1993. Service Manager Dmitriy Tashliyev is known for his dedication to customers, while TJ Newbauer, Director of Commercial Construction, leads the company’s commercial work with a focus on teamwork and professionalism.
As TJ puts it, the company’s strength relies on its team, and that team-first mindset shows up in how Allied approaches every job, from a single service call to a full commercial build-out.
Rooted in the Community
Allied Mechanical & Electrical’s commitment to Central Pennsylvania extends well beyond service calls. The company supports a range of local initiatives, including the NBCRC Annual Golf Outing, the Sweat for Vets Foundation, the Penn Highlands Healthcare / KTH Architects Golf Classic, Altoona Area Baseball, and Rowe’s Research Runners! Walk, Run, Roll.
Serving State College, Altoona, and Central Pennsylvania
With locations in both State College and Altoona, Allied serves homes and businesses throughout Centre and Blair counties and the surrounding region.
Central Pennsylvania is tough on home comfort systems. Long, cold winters push furnaces and heat pumps hard, while humid summers put air conditioners to the test. Many homes across the region are older, with plumbing and electrical systems that were never designed for today’s demands. Allied’s technicians see these conditions every day, which helps them recommend solutions that fit the climate, the building, and the customer’s budget.
Because Allied Mechanical & Electrical’s team lives and works in the same communities it serves, customers aren’t routed through a distant call center. When a furnace fails on a freezing night, help is already nearby.
What Services Does Allied Mechanical & Electrical Provide?
One of Allied Mechanical & Electrical’s biggest strengths is the range of services available under one roof. The company serves both residential and commercial customers across heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, water treatment, and commercial kitchen equipment, and its technicians service and install all major brands.

Together, these services let Allied handle far more than a single heating or cooling problem. Whether a customer needs a new A/C system, a panel upgrade, a water softener, or ongoing maintenance on a restaurant kitchen, the company can bring several areas of expertise to the job.

What Allied’s Customers Are Saying
Customer reviews tell the story best. Several mention Allied’s team members by name, a sign of the personal relationships the company builds.
One homeowner described replacing an aging HVAC system with Allied after years of seasonal maintenance visits. When she mentioned a room with poor airflow, the estimator recommended a blower fan to fix it. After the install, the technician walked her through the entire system, and she noted:
“With some hot weather over the past weeks since the install, we have noticed a big improvement in the airflow to that one room. Problem solved!” — Phyllis C.
Another longtime customer praised the team that dug down in extreme heat to repair a pinhole leak that had flooded part of her basement, restoring the yard by late afternoon:
“We’ve been customers for nearly 25 years, and Allied has served us well.” — Diane L.
And one customer highlighted the expertise behind Allied’s system design work:
“I highly recommend Brad at Allied Mechanical for his knowledge of HVAC design and performance issues.” — Dick
