Reliance closes acquisition of National Home Services

TORONTO, Nov. 24, 2014 /CNW/ - Reliance Comfort Limited Partnership (Reliance) is pleased to announce that today it has closed the purchase of National Home Services (NHS).

Sean O'Brien, President and CEO of Reliance stated, "This is good news for consumers.  This merger will create a more competitive business that allows us to expand our product offering to new customers, continue to build our culture of excellence and strengthen our customer service especially in the GTA and Quebec with National's complementary portfolio."

Reliance Home Comfort sells and rents heating, ventilation, air conditioners (HVAC) equipment, primarily in Ontario and western Canada.  National Home Services will complement Reliance's existing portfolio while creating opportunities for Reliance to strengthen its customer service offering and expand its product offering to National's current customers -- and potential new customers -- across a wider Canadian geographic footprint.  Over the past six years, National Home Services has built a meaningful customer portfolio primarily based in Ontario and Quebec.
