Strategic Fit

Service Logic is the largest privately held commercial HVAC platform in North America, having built 140+ locations through acquisitions since 2004 under Leonard Green and now Bain Capital and Mubadala. Bain closed the $3.1B take-private in December 2024, meaning fresh institutional capital is now actively deploying. Air Control sits in the DMV — one of the most government-dense HVAC markets in North America — which Service Logic does not yet have covered at scale.

Service Logic's stated headline is "mission-critical" commercial HVAC. The Northern Virginia/McLean corridor is precisely that: federal buildings, data centers, government contractors, and defense facilities. Air Control's existing relationships in this market represent years of institutional trust that cannot be organically replicated quickly. For a platform heading toward a Bain exit story, DMV density is a gap that needs to be filled.

Approach Strategy

Call Opener

"Bain just closed the $3.1B take-private in December — Dan Smeaton's team is sitting on fresh capital with a mandate to grow, and you don't have a DMV platform yet."

DMV is the missing market. You've built 140 locations through acquisitions since 2004 — Air Control gives you a footprint in the most government-dense HVAC market in North America, right when mission-critical is your headline to Bain and Mubadala.

Bain capital demands deployment pace. Leonard Green grew Service Logic from a regional player to the largest privately held commercial HVAC platform in North America in five years — Bain and Mubadala didn't write that check to slow down on bolt-ons. Acquisition momentum must continue.

Air Control's federal relationships are irreplaceable. McLean HVAC contracts with government facilities and defense contractors take years to develop. Acquiring Air Control acquires those relationships instantly — far faster and cheaper than an organic DMV buildout at current labor market rates.
