Therma Corporation, founded in 1967 by Joe and Nicki Parisi, is a full-service design/build mechanical contractor located in San Jose, California. Therma Corporation performed the mechanical installation of many of the founding semiconductor, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area and many are still Therma’s valued customers today. Therma has also performed HVAC installation in local office and public buildings that total millions of square feet. Therma has a solution-based approach that is tailored to each client, resulting in efficient and economical designs. Whether it’s a “one off” custom part or a full-service design/build mechanical system, Therma Corporation is an expert at finding the perfect configuration for each client. If it can be imagined - Therma can build it.

Therma is always striving to improve and develop new construction methods that utilize the most current technology to facilitate today’s needs as well as looking ahead to future demands. Therma’s 280,000-square-foot headquarters includes a 60,000-square-foot ASME-certified fabrication shop that incorporates automated systems, lasers and the newest welding technology. The duct fabrication and pipe prefab facilities are the most state-of-the-art in Northern California. Therma Corporation embraces change and innovation to continually reinvent itself.

In 1998, then-President Bill Clinton held a roundtable at Therma Corporation to learn more about its “work smart” culture and history of success. And in 2013, Joe and Nicki Parisi, were awarded honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters from San Jose State University for their impact on the innovative growth of the Bay Area’s mechanical industry.

Therma Corporation employs the most highly trained and experienced designers, installers, and service technicians. Therma’s talented engineering and project management team can take the most complicated design build project from schematic design all the way to the completed as-built and commissioning phase of construction. Therma’s detailers utilize the most current CAD software which includes Building Information Modeling (BIM) providing 3D imaging for design coordination with other trades. Therma Corporation employs more pipe fitter, plumber and sheet metal union trained craftsmen than any other Bay Area mechanical contractor.
