ATLANTA — Service Country, a partnership of employee and customer-focused home services companies, has partnered with three high-quality businesses in targeted smaller cities in southeastern U.S. markets.

Childers Air Plumbing & Electric, based in Beckley, West Virginia, serves Beckley and the surrounding areas. Dating back to 1951, Childers has become the market leader in HVAC services and recently expanded into plumbing and electrical. Keegan Mueller serves as President of the company and grew up in Beckley. He chose to join Service Country so that the company could achieve its full potential alongside an experienced, proven partner. Keegan reinvested equity into the platform and believes the future of the company is very promising for Childers' team members, its customers, and the community.

The addition of Holsenback Heating and Air in Monetta, South Carolina expands the company's footprint in the Palmetto State, complementing McGee Heating & Air, the initial company on the Service Country Platform. Holsenback has been in business since 1977 and has always strived to put the customer first.  Anthony Holsenback will remain, as will his brother Robby, as President, and they both also reinvested equity into Service Country.
