ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Southern HVAC Corporation announced the acquisition of Allen's Air Conditioning & Heating ("Allen's" or the "Company") on Monday.

"We are optimistic about the future with Southern and Allen's working together," said David Allen, President & CEO of Allen's. "This transaction has allowed me to take a step back from the business with the comfort of knowing our customers and employees will be treated well and taken care of as part of the larger Southern HVAC family. After researching Southern HVAC, and working with them on this transition, I'm very confident that they will continue to build upon the Allen's long-standing reputation in the central Kentucky region. I know I made the right decision for our customers, and for our employees."

"I am excited about the opportunity I have to lead the Allen's organization moving forward," said Sheila Browning. "I have worked with David for over 28 years and he has provided me with the tools to be successful and lead Allen's into their next chapter of growth. Since we've started talking with Southern, I've seen first-hand the structure, training and focus they provide to their employees. With the backing of Southern, I'm confident our management team will continue to see sustained success and growth all while making sure the customer comes first."

This is certainly a win-win-win event for Allen's, its customers & employees, and Southern."
