About M.E. Flow
A fully licensed, certified business, M.E. Flow was founded in 1951 by Millard Edward Flow. Flow was looking for an opportunity to serve his local community while living in Alexandria with his wife, Katherine. The area was in need of a dependable, trustworthy, and quality HVAC contractor.
During its first three decades, M.E. Flow grew steadily under its founder’s guidance. It really began to take off in the late 1980s when Flow began transitioning from family business to family legacy by successfully convincing his son-in-law, Brian Goulet, his grandson, Scott Goulet, and his granddaughter, Michelle Goulet-Swart, to join him. Today, M.E. Flow, Inc. has three locations serving the entire Northern Virginia area and more than 120 employees, including a host of licensed and highly trained electrical, heating, cooling, and plumbing technicians.
In 2022, M.E. Flow joined Southern Home Services. Headquartered in Maitland, Florida, Southern Home Services operates heating, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical home service businesses in ten states across the United States.
