About DILO Direct Service Line
DILO Direct, the service division for DILO Company, Inc., was founded in 2014 to help provide emission-free SF6 gas handling services. You may be familiar with the DILO slogans “Don’t be a Gashole” and “One Vision. Zero Emissions.”. DILO produces emission-free SF6 gas handling equipment in line with our core values of quality, innovation, reliability, and flexibility; however, the products are only as good as the knowledge and skills of the person using them.
It’s a well-known fact that a well-trained technician is the first line of defense against SF6 emissions. Unless there is a leak, installation, decommissioning, or maintenance of gas insulated equipment containing SF6 gas, it is not handled on a regular basis at most utilities. Therefore, trained and experienced personnel up to date on current regulations and SF6 best handling practices may be hard to come by. DILO Direct helped close this gap.
Since its inception in Odessa, FL in 2014, DILO Direct has opened two more service centers in the United States. In 2015, DILO Direct SW opened in Casa Grande, Arizona. In 2019, DILO Direct NW opened in Portland, Oregon. With these three locations, DILO Direct can efficiently service most areas of the United States.
Working in Canada presented both logistical and legal challenges for our Field Technicians, so as requests kept coming in, we made the decision to open a branch in Montreal, Québec. Over the last year, we have been working hard behind the scenes to assemble a team of SF6 experts in the great country of Canada. As of today, we can officially provide SF6 and alternative gas services to every Canadian province!
