About Open Source Controls<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

So, why do we call ourselves Open Source Controls? For the simple reason that we don\u2019t lock our clients into proprietary systems with single sourced parts, labor and service. Proprietary building automation systems have led to out of control costs, poor and in some cases non-existent service, a distinct lack of competition in the industry and a general feeling of being held hostage. We\u2019re here to change that!<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Open Source Controls primarily serves Tennessee and Northern Alabama.\u00a0Our team possesses decades of experience in the controls and building automation industry, and understands the imperative value of service and responsiveness to our clients.\u00a0We are proudly operated by military veterans and actively seek to promote their role in this industry.<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
