Camblin Mechanical Inc. has served Southwest Iowa since 1918, making it one of the region's oldest continuously operating mechanical contractors. Founded by Lou Camblin with a $1,000 loan from his mother after World War I, the company has grown through three generations of family ownership and now provides commercial, residential, and industrial HVAC, geothermal, and plumbing services from its Atlantic, Iowa base at 714 W 7th Street.
The firm specializes in large commercial projects — from industrial manufacturing facilities and schools to hospitals and medical institutions — while maintaining a residential division serving homeowners throughout Southwest Iowa. Geothermal heat pump installation and service is a primary offering, with WaterFurnace listed as a partner brand and the company recognized as a member of the Iowa Geothermal Association.

The company's safety and craftsmanship record includes multiple ABC Excellence in Construction Awards (2017–2018), the ABC STEP Platinum Safety Award (2019), a 2019 Hire Vets Medallion Gold, and national and Iowa state craft championship gold medals in HVAC (2018).
