The company connects heating, cooling, lighting, and security systems into one easy-to-manage platform. This allows companies to save money on energy costs, lower their environmental impact, and simplify building management.<\/p>\n<p>Stark Tech specializes in energy solutions, building systems integration, and maintenance services. The company expanded its reach in 2021 with the acquisition of Technical Building Services (TBS), headquartered in Ballston Spa, NY, and founded in 1981. TBS served a wide Upstate New York territory\u2014from Lake Placid to Utica, south to Binghamton, and east to the lower Hudson Valley\u2014providing temperature-control and mechanical maintenance services. The acquisition enabled Stark Tech to build on TBS\u2019s strong reputation while expanding into advanced solutions such as access control, security integration, and protective systems.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Stark Tech employs more than 1,000 people across 16 offices in New York, with additional operations in Florida, Massachusetts, Georgia, and New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>In Eastern New York, Market Lead Jason Tyler manages operations from Stark Tech\u2019s Ballston Spa office. His territory stretches from the Canadian border to Westchester County, where he oversees client accounts and coordinates with a technical team of union technicians, engineers, and designers.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler draws on more than 15 years of experience in hospitality, real estate, and property management to help clients plan for both capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) expenses. He said he once looked for companies like Stark Tech to help reduce costs and modernize facilities. \u201cI was looking for a true mission and purpose behind what I was doing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to see the results of the projects you support. What we\u2019re doing now is making an impact not only locally but throughout the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"\"><b><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>Stark Tech\u2019s clients include small businesses and large enterprises in the commercial, healthcare, hospitality, and education sectors. The company supports more than 600 K\u201312 schools across New York State.<\/p>\n<p>As a \u201cmaster integrator,\u201d Stark Tech provides complete solutions from planning to long-term servicing. Tyler said the company begins every project by understanding the client\u2019s needs: \u201cWe look at what our customers are trying to do, what problems they\u2019re facing, and then find the right solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Improving energy efficiency is a key focus as clients face higher costs and stricter state regulations. Tyler acknowledged the challenge: \u201cIf everyone had unlimited budgets to invest, we wouldn\u2019t be where we are right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stark Tech works with both new construction and existing facilities. Tyler noted that regulations are constantly changing, including refrigerant standards and new building gas bans. He said heating and cooling systems are often \u201cthe biggest offenders\u201d for energy use but emphasized that investing in modern systems saves money long term: \u201cIf you invest in your equipment and facilities, your overall costs will go down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Tyler is focused on resiliency, especially in the North Country, where power outages are common. \u201cWe\u2019re asking how we can make buildings stronger, more efficient, and better prepared over time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Stark Tech partners with mechanical contractors, electricians, and engineering firms to provide comprehensive support. \u201cWe\u2019re stronger as a collective than we are singularly,\u201d Tyler said. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of business to go around in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the company\u2019s success depends on helping its clients succeed: \u201cIf our clients aren\u2019t successful, we\u2019re not doing our job.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information, visit starktech.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ann Donnelly Stark Tech helps businesses run their large buildings more efficiently by making them \u201csmarter\u201d and more sustainable.
