TruTemp Services Expands North Carolina Footprint with Two Complementary Acquisitions

APEX, N.C., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TruTemp Holdings LLC ("TruTemp Services" or the "Company"), a rapidly growing provider of residential HVAC, plumbing and electrical services ("Field Services") backed by Centre Partners ("Centre") and Baldwin Creek Partners ("BCP"), today announced the acquisitions of D&D HVAC, LLC ("D&D") and Sandhills Heating & Refrigeration, Inc. ("Sandhills").

The acquisitions represent an important step in TruTemp Services' strategy to build a scaled Field Services platform across the Southeast by partnering with high-quality local businesses in attractive, complementary markets. Together with TruTemp Services' initial acquisition of Maynor Service Company ("Maynor") in 2025, D&D and Sandhills create a connected operating footprint across North Carolina extending from Raleigh, Apex and Durham through Sanford and Aberdeen. The increased density strengthens the Company's ability to serve customers across the region, expand its service capabilities, and support continued organic growth.

Founded in 2006 and based in Sanford, North Carolina, D&D provides HVAC installation, replacement, maintenance, and repair services to property owners, homebuilders, and general contractors. Sandhills, founded in 1976 and based in Aberdeen, North Carolina, provides HVAC and electrical replacement, installation, maintenance, and repair services. Over its 50-year history, Sandhills has built a strong reputation and longstanding relationships with custom homebuilders and property owners, while D&D has earned a reputation as a trusted provider serving a diverse base of customers across the Sanford market. Dairus Davis of D&D and Bradford Hainley of Sandhills will continue to lead their respective operations as part of TruTemp Services.

These acquisitions deepen TruTemp Services' presence across North Carolina, expanding its recurring customer base and bringing meaningful scale to its growing services offerings. The greater scale also creates opportunities to share capabilities across the organization, broaden customer relationships and accelerate investment in people, systems, and service offerings.

"We are excited to welcome Dairus, Brad and their teams to TruTemp Services," said Brett Chappell, Chairman. "Both businesses are exactly the type of businesses we want to partner with; they are established local operators with strong reputations, talented teams and a shared commitment to high-quality service. They meaningfully expand our presence across North Carolina and we look forward to growing both businesses while preserving the qualities that have made them successful."

"D&D and Sandhills are important additions to TruTemp Services and represent continued execution of the strategy we set out at the Company's formation to build a scaled Field Services platform across the Southeast through organic growth and strategic acquisitions," said Jeff Bartoli, Senior Partner at Centre Partners. "Both companies bring strong local reputations, talented teams and complementary capabilities, while further building TruTemp Services' scale. We look forward to supporting the team as they continue to partner with additional high-quality businesses throughout the region."
