                     EMCOR GROUP, INC. COMPLETES THE SALE OF
                          JAMAICA WATER SUPPLY COMPANY
                           AND SEA CLIFF WATER COMPANY

             EMCOR GROUP, INC. TO REDEEM ITS SERIES A NOTES IN FULL


NORWALK, CONNECTICUT, May 30, 1996 -- EMCOR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: EMCG) announced
today that it has completed the previously  announced sale of substantially  all
the assets of its  subsidiary  Jamaica  Water Supply  Company to The City of New
York and the Water Authority of Western Nassau County for an aggregate  purchase
price  of  approximately  $179,000,000,  subject  to  post-closing  adjustments;
$1,175,000 of this purchase price is being held in escrow pending  determination
of the post-closing adjustments.  EMCOR also announced that it has completed the
previously  announced sale of the stock of its other water supply subsidiary Sea
Cliff  Water  Company to a  subsidiary  of Aquarion  Company  for  approximately
$2,600,000, subject to post-closing adjustments;  approximately $520,000 of this
purchase  price is being held in escrow for a period of  approximately  one year
pending determination of the post-closing adjustments and as collateral security
for certain indemnification obligations.

The sales  proceeds from the sale of its assets will be applied by Jamaica Water
Supply Company first to pay its liabilities and preferred stock obligations and,
after  satisfaction of minority stock interests in Jamaica Water Supply Company,
$15,000,000  will be used to  repay a  portion  of  current  indebtedness  under
EMCOR's  working  capital  line and  approximately  $66,500,000  will be used to
redeem in full EMCOR's 7% Series A Senior Notes.

EMCOR stated that approximately  $2,100,000 of the proceeds from the sale of Sea
Cliff  Water  Company  would be used to redeem,  in part,  the 12%  Subordinated
Contingent  Payment Notes of its  subsidiary  SellCo  Corporation.  In addition,
EMCOR stated that it believes  that, as the  liabilities of Jamaica Water Supply
Company are finally determined, its various contingent liabilities are resolved,
and funds held in escrow under the sales  agreements for the sale of the Jamaica
Water  Supply  Company  assets  are  released,  additional  amounts of the sales
proceeds may become  available from time to time for  additional  redemptions of
the Subordinated Contingent Payment Notes of SellCo Corporation.

Frank T. MacInnis,  Chairman of the Board and President of EMCOR,  stated he was
pleased  that the  Company is able to  discharge  its Series A Notes in full and
pay-down  $15,000,000  of its  working  capital  line as a result of the sale of
EMCOR's  water  companies.  The sales,  he added,  bring to a close a chapter in
EMCOR's history,  and with its improved  balance sheet, he noted,  EMCOR is well
positioned  to refinance  its working  capital line and continue its growth.  He
also  added he was  happy  that as a result  of these  transactions  some of the
Subordinated  Contingent  Payment Notes of EMCOR's subsidiary SellCo Corporation
would be redeemed.

EMCOR Group,  Inc. is a worldwide leader in  mechanical/electrical  construction
and facilities management services.
