Gryphon Investors-backed Presidential Heating & Air Conditioning has acquired Shipley Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, a Montgomery County, Maryland-based home-services provider. The deal, for undisclosed terms, adds plumbing, drain clearing, and water heater repair and installation to Presidential’s existing HVAC offerings. Shipley will rebrand under the Presidential name following the acquisition.

Presidential, founded in 1982, serves homeowners in Montgomery County, Maryland, Washington, DC, and surrounding communities. The acquisition strengthens Presidential’s service lineup and supports Southern Home Services’ strategy of expanding its network of local home-services brands through complementary partnerships. Presidential will continue to benefit from shared resources, training, and operational support across the Southern Home Services network.

The move extends Southern Home Services’ footprint in the region by integrating Shipley’s established local presence. Editor’s note: This news brief was produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence.
