Scout Mechanical, a Greenville-based provider of HVAC, electrical and plumbing services, has merged with three Upstate businesses: Coln Plumbing, KCBM Electrical and Reedy Property Services.

The three names officially united in January under the Scout Mechanical brand, according to a news release, expanding capabilities to better serve commercial and residential customers across the region.
At the core of Scout Mechanical is a team of 31 professionals led by Andrew Coln, Paul Halphen, Charlie Niedrach and Bishop Scott, who have decades of industry experience. Their expertise spans servicing thousands of HVAC systems, completing hundreds of MEP projects, the release stated.
“The trades industry is the backbone of daily life. We keep the lights on, the water running, and businesses operating smoothly,” Scout Mechanical CEO Bishop Scott said in the release. “But what truly sets us apart is our people. From day one, this merger has been about uniting the best in the business. The lifeblood of any successful trades company is its team, and we’re committed to fostering a culture that attracts, celebrates and develops top-tier talent.”
The emphasis on teamwork and expertise is central to Scout Mechanical’s mission, the release stated.
“This merger brought together a team of highly skilled professionals who share a commitment to quality and service,” said Paul Halphen, vice president of the contracts division, in the release. “All three companies were built on entrepreneurial vision and deep ties to the Upstate. We’re not just continuing to serve our existing customers with the same high standards they’ve come to expect — we’re enhancing our model. We’re expanding access to top-tier tradesmen, and delivering modern mechanical solutions with a problem-solving mindset that sets us apart.”
With a strategic focus on HVAC, electrical and plumbing solutions, Scout Mechanical says it is uniquely positioned to offer expanded product lines and deeper technical support, enhanced logistical capabilities for partners and customers, greater access to mechanical solutions and a solutions-oriented approach to challenging real estate and infrastructure issues.
“We think differently because we’ve been on the other side,” Scott said in the release. “With deep real estate experience, we approach every project as if we own the property. That perspective allows us to anticipate challenges, solve problems faster, and create long-term value for homeowners, businesses and partners alike.”
Scout Mechanical’s new headquarters is located at 1450 Laurens Road, where the team is positioned to service requests and effectively support businesses, homeowners and contractors across the Upstate, the release stated.
