New Harbor Capital portfolio company Fix-It 24/7 (“Fix-It”, “the Company”), has completed the acquisitions of AirMax Heating and Air (“AirMax”) and Emergency Air Heating and Cooling (“Emergency Air”).

“We are very excited for the next season of business for Emergency Air,” said Rob Reed, Former Owner of the Company. “This partnership will enable the business to serve even more people throughout the Phoenix community, and the cohesive cultural fit will ensure that the same high-quality service that clients have come to expect is maintained.”

“These two acquisitions are a significant continuation of Fix-It’s multi-branch operating strategy,” said Drew Nicholson, Vice President at New Harbor Capital. “This type of geographic expansion has been part of our strategic vision since the beginning of our partnership with the Fix-It team. We look forward to helping the Company continue to grow throughout these new markets.”
