SRS announced an agreement to acquire Lohmiller & Company, a Colorado-based company, according to a source report dated September 28, 2026. The transaction was announced as pending, not completed. The amount was not disclosed in the sources.
The source places the Lohmiller agreement in the context of wider consolidation in HVAC distribution. It notes that Home Depot completed its acquisition of SRS Distribution in 2024, and that SRS completed its acquisition of Mingledorff's, described as a major HVAC distributor in the Southeast, in May 2026. The Lohmiller transaction was announced in August.
The source discusses what distributor relationships can involve for contractors, including technical support, product knowledge, training, logistics and long-standing relationships between people. It cites ACHR News conversations with contractors about the expansion of big box ownership into HVAC distribution, in which contractors saw potential benefits around pricing and availability, while some also raised concerns about losing technical support and established relationships.
The source also states that consolidation is not only happening at the contractor level but further up the supply chain, and that the consolidation taking place around HVAC contractors may be as interesting to watch as consolidation among contractors themselves.
