Headquartered in Denver, Lohmiller was founded in 1990 and is owned and operated today by Tim Brooks, Mark Brown, and Roger Lee. The Company is a distributor for Carrier Corporation, with access to their full suite of residential, light commercial, and applied HVAC products, and currently employs a team of 220 people. Tim, Mark, and Roger will continue to lead the business going forward, ensuring continuity and consistency for customers, suppliers, and employees.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Tim, Mark, Roger, and the rest of the Lohmiller team to the SRS Family," said SRS CEO Dan Tinker in a news release.

The addition is SRS's second in the HVAC space, following the recent acquisition of Mingledorff’s, a leading HVAC distributor in the Southeast,.

Tinker said the Company’s reputation for exceptional customer service and passion for taking care of its people made it an outstanding fit, and that he was honored they selected SRS as the right home for the business. Additionally, Lohmiller and Mingledorff’s are both strategically aligned with Carrier, and we are thrilled to support this partnership as we continue expansion in the HVAC space.

Tim Brooks, President of the Company, commented, “Over our 35+ year history, we have built an organization focused on creating a one-stop solution for our customers, which is made possible thanks to our highly knowledgeable and hardworking team," Brooks said in a release. "After getting to know the folks at SRS, and already having great respect for the Mingledorff’s team, we knew Lohmiller would be a perfect fit with their people-centric culture, entrepreneurial mentality, and commitment to growth."

He said that by leveraging the resources and expertise provided by SRS, the company plans to further strengthen current relationships with customers while providing even more opportunities for our employees to grow.
