“It’s an honor to join the Wrench Group family and become part of their nationwide network of home services brands,” said Lori Barlow-Rhead, president and co-owner of Mountain Air. “Our family has been in this business for nearly 70 years, and we’re excited to join with an innovative leader like Wrench, who will provide us with technology and operations support to allow us to serve even more homeowners and communities across the Wasatch Front.”

“Mountain Air has grown tremendously in less than 15 years to become a leader in the Salt Lake City market,” said Ken Haines, CEO of the Wrench Group. “With exceptional service and its leadership’s long history in the industry, they are a perfect fit with our company values.”

Founded in 2008 by Barlow-Rhead and her husband Vance Rhead, Mountain Air provides air conditioning, heating and indoor air quality services.

The Rheads will remain in their current roles. Mountain Air plans to hire additional technicians, sales reps and operations staff to join its current workforce of nearly 60 employees, Barlow-Rhead said. The company currently serves 36,000 customers in a service area that stretches from Brigham City to north Salt Lake City.

Wrench Group operates in 25 markets across 14 states providing home repair, replacement and maintenance services specializing in heating, ventilation and air conditioning, plumbing, water, electrical and related services.{/mprestriction}
