Company History

Mr. Henry B. Bolden, Jr, (Hank) founder and owner of RSC Electrical & Mechanical Contractors, Inc. was born January 9, 1940, in Washington, DC and reared in Laurens, South Carolina and attended Denmark Area Trade (Denmark Technical College) in Demark, South Carolina. He moved back to Washington DC area where he attended Columbia Technical Institute (Arlington, VA) and received a Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Drafting, and Engineering degree. After receiving his degree, Hank began working for the US Department of Defense, US Navy and US Air Force as an Air Conditioning Refrigerating Mechanic.

A Business is Born

In 1970, Hank started his own company, Residential Service Company, providing residential and commercial installations, repair and services for Electrical, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning in the DC Metropolitan area. In 1989, Hank restructured Residential Service Company by incorporating and renaming the company to RSC Electrical and Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (RSC). Hank served on the Prince George’s County Boards and Commissions (Board) as a Licensed Examiner administering the HVAC text from 1988 until the Board’s function became a Maryland State function.

RSC has stood strong for 46 years through the highs and lows and our reputation has grown and is known to keep in the tradition of honesty, integrity, and quality of services to our customers.
