               EMCOR GROUP, INC. ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT REALIGNMENT

NORWALK,  CONNECTICUT,  February 26, 2004 -- EMCOR Group, Inc. (NYSE: EME) today
announced changes to its management structure.

Jeffrey M. Levy has resigned from his position as President and Chief  Operating
Officer of the Company,  effective  today. Mr. Levy will remain with the Company
in an advisory role during a transition  period,  before  leaving the Company to
pursue other interests.  Frank T. MacInnis, EMCOR's Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer,  will  assume  the  additional  title and duties of  President  until a
successor to Mr. Levy has been named.  EMCOR has begun the  recruitment  process
and has retained Spencer Stuart to advise and assist the Company.

"Jeff has been a key member of our  organization  since  joining  the Company in
1992",  commented  Mr.  MacInnis.  "He has made  valuable  contributions  to our
success in building a strong organization and making EMCOR a worldwide leader in
specialty  construction and facilities services. We wish Jeff well in his future
endeavors."

Mr. MacInnis  continued,  "The improving economy is providing  opportunities for
well-managed  companies to benefit promptly and directly from increasing  demand
for their services.  EMCOR's geographic market coverage and technical  expertise
enable us to offer a unique menu of electrical and mechanical  construction  and
facilities services to our customers.  Today I am announcing  additional changes
in our management  structure which will enhance our customer focus,  shorten our
response time, and unify our service offerings."

Michael Parry, age 58, has been appointed to the newly created position of Chief
Executive  Officer of EMCOR  Construction  Services,  reporting  directly to Mr.
MacInnis.  In his new position,  Mr. Parry will oversee the strategic  direction
and  day-to-day  operations  of the Company's  U.S.  electrical  and  mechanical
construction  operations.  Mr. Parry was previously  Executive Vice President of
EMCOR's  Construction  Services  division  with  responsibility  for  electrical
operations.  Mr.  Parry  has over 25 years  experience  in the  engineering  and
construction industry and has been with EMCOR since 1995.
