Company that purchased local HVAC businesses sees major expansion

By Staff Report, posted 4 years ago

NearU,  a platform for the HVAC industry that  purchased locally-based companies Bass Air Conditioning and Mark Air last year, has seen tremendous growth in recent days with a recent expansion to the West coast. 

The expansion is a part of NearU’s acquisition of the California-based Action Air Conditioning, Heating and Solar.

Action A/C has been a leader in the San Diego market for about 50 years. 

“NearU continues to be well capitalized and is actively seeking other long-standing, highly reputable brands to join the rapidly growing NearU family,” said in a press release announcing the expansion. 

Ashish Achlerkar, the founder and CEO of NearU, sees great opportunity in the acquisition and in the future of the leadership of the company with the addition of Brian Amodio, the president and CEO of Action A/C. 

"Like NearU's track record, Brian Amodio and his management team have built a great culture based on servant leadership, taken great care of their team, and loyally served a large customer base. NearU is committed to further building upon this great foundation at Action A/C. Our team is focused on delivering a lasting impact through empowering the Action A/C team and leveraging our process-driven, training and technology-enabled execution approach. We warmly welcome the Action A/C team and customers to the rapidly growing NearU family. I also welcome Brian Amodio to NearU's regional leadership team. Brian is a proven leader in the industry, and I am confident that he will play a critical role in NearU's growth in California and the surrounding states. NearU is fully equipped and very well positioned for rapid national expansion and our partnership with Action A/C demonstrates that," said Achlerkar.

"Action A/C was established in 1975 with the goal of being one of the best home services companies in San Diego County, built on a foundation of honesty, trust, and highly trained technicians. Since joining in 2010 and owning the business since 2015, I am so proud to have continued that tradition and built one of the best home services companies for employees and customers alike. I am highly confident that the NearU team will continue to build upon the legacy of Action A/C and take the company to even greater heights. NearU's unique vision, integrity, approach, and focus on employee and customer experience made them the best transition partner for our business. I could not be more excited about the future of Action as we join the NearU family. I am personally excited to join the NearU family as Regional General Manager and look forward to bringing NearU's full value proposition to the very valuable Action team, and all our customers," said Amodio.
