— About
Forty years. One family. Self-performed since 1984.
Athena Engineering started in 1984 — a garage in San Dimas, a five-thousand-dollar tax refund, and a baby on the way. Four decades later: still self-performing HVAC and building automation across Southern California, still family-owned, now second-generation, certified across every controls line we install. Below — the long version of the story, the people who answer the phone, and what working with us (or for us) actually looks like.
