AC Mechanical & Engineering

Vince Carabelos, born elsewhere but raised in Colorado, is a Licensed Mechanical Engineer with a Bachelor of Science degree from the Colorado School of Mines, Mechanical Engineering 1998. Initially a high school drop out, after 16 years in industrial maintenance and HVAC service, Vince returned to school and while working full time finished the endeavor a little bit older, quite a bit heavier and a heck of a lot smarter than thought possible. Now with nearly 30 years of experience in the field and over 12 years as a licensed PE, Vince is the majority owner of ACME with an aspiration to make this an employee owned company.

Vince personally holds the following licenses’, Professional Engineer State of Colorado, Steam and Hot Water Supervisor, Refrigeration A Supervisor, ICC Master Mechanical & Stationary Engineer. Vince is also a member of ASHRAE, ASME and NFPA. He is also an Uptime Institute “Accredited Tier Designer” of mission critical environments (Data Centers).

He enjoys horses and traveling with his wife Susi and is currently raising a grandson.

Tony Cirbo’s official title at ACME is Operations Manager, though he wears many hats. He is a partner in the company and the go-to guy for customers and fellow employees. Tony supports field project managers; he is the man to call for mechanical and service proposals and for setting up preventative maintenance contracts.  

In the HVAC industry since 1989, Tony brings a seemingly endless reservoir of experience and knowledge to the table, including troubleshooting all kinds of mechanical systems as well as exhibiting great skill in the installation of equipment, whether the equipment is the size of a filing cabinet or as large as a house. He enjoys the challenge of providing unique, think-outside-the-box solutions to installation problems.

 As Vince says, “Tony is the guy you can count on as he keeps the company on track. He is our rock and pillar of the company and my right hand man.”

Tony is a native of the great state of Colorado. He is married to Candice, with whom he has raised four beautiful daughters. They are blessed with eleven grandchildren.
