American Residential Services/Rescue Rooter (ARS), a Memphis, Tennessee-based residential heating, air conditioning and plumbing services provider and owner of residential services companies across the nation, has announced that five of its companies operating independently in the Salt Lake City region have merged into a single brand.
The five companies, ARS/Rescue Rooter; ESCO Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical; Absolute Air; Captain Electric; and OyBoy Heating and Cooling, have merged to become Yes! Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, and Electric. The brand has been used by{mprestriction ids="1,3"} ARS in other markets since 2008.
“Yes! Air Conditioning & Plumbing will continue to provide our valued customers with the same great service they have come to expect with the professionals they know and love, while creating a one-stop shop for all home service needs in the Utah market that these companies already serve,” said Tim Oyler, who is the general manager of the Utah branch. “The combined brand will continue to provide exceptional service and ensure the highest quality standards on every job we undertake.”
ARS bought ESCO Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical, which was founded in 1977, in April 2022. Two months later, ARS acquired Absolute Air, Captain Electric and OyBoy.
Absolute Air was founded in Mapleton in 1997. Established in 1988, Captain Electric serves the greater Salt Lake City area. OyBoy Heating and Cooling, based in Lehi, began serving south central Utah in 2018.
The newly merged company now has over 250 employees and a fleet of 230 vehicles in Utah.
“The combination is an example in which the whole will be much more than the sum of its parts,” said Scott Boose, CEO of ARS/Rescue Rooter. “This is part of our ongoing strategy as we enhance our ability to reach customers in the communities we serve. We will continue looking for additional partners in the Salt Lake City market, as well as all the markets we serve, who wish to become part of our national network.”{/mprestriction}
