Dubbed the DVM formula, this strategic framework has propelled DVM Industries to the forefront of the turnkey facility and energy solutions industry, where it helps residential, commercial, hospitality and healthcare sectors realize maximum savings with a suite of comprehensive services focused on energy efficiency, maintenance and post-upgrade care.
“What we do is assess your current needs, design a system to meet them and future-proof it for upcoming developments, ensuring we support you now and in the future,” says James Justice, owner of DVM Industries.
Since its establishment in 2012, DVM has been committed to providing end-to-end services in the energy sector. Initially focusing on LED lighting, it quickly gained momentum by adopting a forward-thinking approach and expanding its services. Recognizing the importance of offering complete solutions, DVM formed its own electrical team to handle projects, from start to finish, with expert precision.
And it’s this integrated service model that gives DVM an edge over competitors. Unlike typical consultants who excel in project design and rebate management, but depend on subcontractors for installation or electricians skilled in installation but lacking in design expertise, DVM unites these strengths under one roof. The company possesses a roster of in-house design engineers, licensed electricians and consultants, facilitating complete project management from design to installation, all in-house.
DVM’s commitment to innovation drives its evolution across various energy sectors. Following the successful blueprint of its LED lighting ventures, DVM launched a solar division and, more recently, expanded into the electric vehicle (EV) charging station market. Here, the company offers a holistic approach to EV charging infrastructure, covering design, build and rebate management.
Shaping the Electric Future
Understanding the growing demand among EV drivers for accessible charging stations, DVM offers a comprehensive turnkey approach, encompassing consulting, planning, procurement, installation and repair services.
The company has devised a variety of flexible business models to facilitate the integration of EV charging stations. Partners can choose to fully own and operate the charging equipment, relying on DVM for expert installation and ongoing maintenance while benefiting fully from the revenue generated. Alternatively, partners may choose for DVM to own and operate the systems with a revenue share going back to the customer, leaving the operational complexities and management to DVM, which ensures seamless connectivity to the broader EV charger network.
To further support its partners, DVM actively assists in securing financial incentives. They helps navigate the complexities of grants, incentives and tax credits that can offset up to 90 percent of construction and installation costs. By integrating charging stations with DVM’s proprietary data visualization and management software, partners can adhere to incentive program requirements. At the same time, there is the potential to eliminate the financial barrier to entry, paving the way for a more robust EV charging infrastructure.
A Structured Journey to Sustainable Energy Solutions
“Our strength lies in our full turnkey model, where we seamlessly manage consulting, design and installation phases—an integrated approach that distinguishes us from the competition,” says Justice.

The process progresses with an in-depth interview of the facilities team to grasp the nuances of operations and the client’s specific goals. This is followed by an engineering assessment that scrutinizes energy use, environmental impact and operational efficiencies. The outcome is a set of tailored project designs, which include sustainable solutions and strategies aimed at reducing energy consumption and enhancing efficiency.
DVM oversees the entire project lifecycle, efficiently managing each phase—initiation, planning, execution, control and closure. Financial efficiency is ensured by leveraging government and state incentives to help offset costs. Installation is executed by DVM’s adept in-house electrical and mechanical teams, guaranteeing adherence to the highest standards of quality and safety.
After installation, DVM remains engaged, offering comprehensive operations and maintenance services. This includes ongoing engineering support, troubleshooting for mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and helping clients develop robust maintenance programs to ensure long-term efficiency, longevity and minimal failure rates.
A Passion for Quality Service
DVM’s business philosophy is built on a focus on quality service. Clients who have partnered with the company consistently affirm its dedication to excellence. At DVM, the clients and their needs are the foremost priority and this client-centric approach is the cornerstone of the business.
Consider a case that perfectly illustrates DVM’s approach— addressing the challenge of equipping a large parking garage with EV charging stations. Faced with the client’s desire for EV capability at every parking space, yet mindful of the associated costs, DVM engineered a solution that balanced efficiency with economic feasibility. The result? Strategic deployment of 20 EV charging stations, which ensured accessibility without necessitating an outlet at every parking spot. A move that significantly cut initial expenses.
The innovative solution did more than just meet immediate needs—it anticipated future requirements. DVM’s design included additional conduits and junction boxes, laying the groundwork for easy expansion. This foresight in design allows for additional EV stations to be added with minimal disruption, a testament to DVM’s thoughtful planning and focus on sustainable, scalable solutions.
Another notable partnership was with Maxwell Place on the Hudson, a prominent residential and commercial development on the waterfront in Hoboken, NJ. DVM undertook a significant project to replace outdated technology, aiming to enhance performance and efficiency. Its efforts included retrofitting existing fluorescent T8 and T12 fixtures with LED lamps, replacing compact fluorescent and incandescent lamps with EnergyStar LEDs and applying for utility incentives to offset project costs. The project encompassed common areas in the three buildings, including lobbies, mail rooms, elevators, restrooms, offices, roofs, hallways and exteriors. The modernizing of Maxwell Place’s lighting infrastructure contributed to its sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption and improving overall efficiency.
