SALT LAKE CITY — Wrench Group LLC announced that Mountain Air Conditioning & Heating, an HVAC services company in the Salt Lake City area, has joined the Wrench Group family.

The addition of Ogden-based Mountain Air to the Wrench Group family further expands Wrench’s presence in the Rockies region and marks its first location in the state of Utah.

“Mountain Air has grown tremendously in less than 15 years to become a leader in the Salt Lake City market,” said Ken Haines, CEO of the Wrench Group. “With exceptional service and its leadership’s long history in the industry, they are a perfect fit with our company values.”

“It’s an honor to join the Wrench Group family and become part of their nationwide network of home services brands,” said Lori Barlow-Rhead, president and co-owner of Mountain Air. “Our family has been in this business for nearly 70 years, and we’re excited to join with an innovative leader like Wrench, who will provide us with technology and operations support to allow us to serve even more homeowners and communities across the Wasatch Front.”

Founded in 2008 by two longtime HVAC industry professionals, Vance Rhead and Lori Barlow-Rhead, Mountain Air provides air conditioning, heating, and indoor air quality services for both residential and commercial clients.

Co-owners Lori and Vance will remain in their roles and continue to lead the growing organization going forward.
