Founded in 1975 as Edd Helms Inc. by W. Edd Helms, Jr. for electrical services—with its air conditioning operations originating from McDonald Air Conditioning established in 1952 and acquired in 1994—the company merged with Hotelecopy in 1999 to form Edd Helms Group, Inc. as the parent entity and went public on OTC markets in August 1999. Headquartered at 740 International Parkway in Sunrise, Florida, it employs approximately 70-140 technicians focused on quality, safety, and customer relationships in the construction and engineering sector.
In a significant ownership transition, Wade Helms and Vicki Helms completed the acquisition of Edd Helms Group, Inc. from W. Edd Helms, Jr., marking a key leadership and family succession move. The company continues to emphasize its niche in premium services for high-demand customers, with recent operational focus on expanding energy-efficient HVAC solutions and event support amid steady revenue of around $21.5 million. No major external partnerships, funding rounds, or new product launches have been publicly reported in the last 1-2 years.
