"Rasmussen became my “one stop shop” for ALL my boiler needs. All I had to do was call and explain what was going on and then sit back. Parts were ordered in a timely fashion and Techs arrived when they said they would. Work was always done quickly and second to none! Great feeling knowing I have a company that has my back and has proven it over and over for the past 21 years."

Dail Dailing
Utilities Manager, Dakota Ethanol

"We needed (help with) mechanical projects; welding, boiler, steam, condensate, compressed air, in different areas around our plant.  Rasmussen Mechanical Services helped us evaluate our options and save us a lot of time and money to get back on line – ASAP."

Matt Stryson
Plant Engineer, Hughes Brothers Inc.

"I wouldn’t recommend anyone else… We had issues that other technicians couldn't get to the bottom of so Rasmussen came in and did the repair work and followed up with preventive maintenance."

Pete McNeal

Steve Feauto
Maintenance Custodial Supervisor, Riverside Elementary, Oakland, IA

"I’ve worked in facilities all my life, for 35 years. I would recommend Rasmussen Mechanical because of their outstanding service and reliability... If my boilers break down I know who I’m going to call and who’s going to show up."

David McAtee
Director of Operations, Boystown National Research Hospital, Omaha, NE

"I would recommend them to work with other people just based on the quality and craftsmanship of their work. We went from 75%-80% efficient to 92%-94% efficient. A 12%-15% gas savings for the plant."

Conrad Baldwin

"They’ve done a tremendous job for us. Not only are they there to do a job, but they can break it down to layman’s terms, so that as an operator, I can practice what they teach me. We’ve learned from their experience so it’s kind of a win-win for all of us."

Robert Stiles
