American Residential Services/Rescue Rooter
has bought Beutler Corp.’s residential services division. Terms were not
disclosed.
Sacramento, Calif.-based Beutler will
continue to perform HVAC installations in new construction. ARS/Rescue Rooter will
handle residential work as Beutler Air Conditioning Services.
“This acquisition allows us to enter into
air conditioning and heating services in the attractive Northern California
market with a significant existing customer base built upon the superior brand
equity that Beutler has developed over the past 60 years,” said Dave Slott,
ARS/Rescue Rooter president and chief operating officer.
Rick Wylie, president of Beutler Corp.,
said the move will benefit both companies.
“We can’t imagine a better company to
partner with in order to strengthen and expand the Beutler brand presence,”
Wylie said. “Whether new or existing
customers, this powerful alliance is good news for everyone in the Northern
California market.”
The companies plan to hire additional staff
in the new future, officials added.
