ST. CATHARINES, Ontario, Canada — Right Time Group of Companies, a provider of home services in Canada, has acquired Breathe Clean Mini Split Heat Pump Cleaning, which is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Breathe Clean has been providing cleaning services for ductless heat pump systems in Halifax and the surrounding area since 2016. Current employees will join the Right Time team and continue to serve their customers and community, a press release from Right Time said.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. Breathe Clean, founded by Cleve and Michelle Brewer, is Right Time’s 21^st acquisition.

“We’re thrilled to have Breathe Clean join the Right Time team,” said Curtis Budgell, vice president of corporate development at Right Time. “The Brewer family has built a highly successful and innovative company that we are excited to have join our strong and growing stable of home services brands.”

Breathe Clean was the first dedicated heat-pump mini-split system cleaning company in Nova Scotia — and North America. Cleaning services for mini split systems, beyond a basic filter cleaning, were not available locally before then, the Right Time press release said.

Since then, the company has expanded its customer base in Halifax and the surrounding areas and has earned an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau.

“We’re excited to have Right Time continue on from the foundation we’ve built,” Cleve and Michelle Brewer said in a prepared statement. “We’re confident they’re the perfect choice to take our company to the next level.”
