About Springbank
It all started with
a vision.
After working for many years at a large Canadian mechanical contractor, Gregg Little envisioned opening a regional contracting company that could compete on a national scale. Their new company would offer superior customer experience along with technological innovations that offer maximum HVAC performance.
On April 1st, 1990 he launched Springbank Mechanical Systems.
The original team was small – five employees including Gregg– but his vision to offer excellent customer service, professional work, and competitive pricing never wavered.
As his business grew, Gregg further augmented the team by adding some of the most talented technicians in the industry.
He also empowered the apprentices with the skills training and support needed to be among the best in their field. Gregg then enlisted a customer service team dedicated to providing exceptional customer service that could address every customer concern and need.
Today, Springbank Mechanical Systems is a full service and installation HVACR contractor.
The team has grown to over 70 employees, including service technicians operating a fleet of over 50 vehicles, plus administrative, technical, and management staff.
Thanks to Gregg’s original vision, as well as the hard work and dedication of the entire Springbank Mechanical Systems team, they’ve become a leading provider of HVAC, refrigeration services, building automation systems (BAS), and other specialized products to many major developers and retail chains in the GTA and Southern Ontario, including:

By staying true to its core principles, we’ll continue to grow into the future.
