Southern HVAC Corp., d/b/a Southern Home Services, has announced the acquisition of George M. Hill & Sons Inc. Since 1945, George M. Hill & Sons has provided customers throughout Spartanburg, Greenville, and the greater upstate market with top-rated heating, air conditioning maintenance, repair, and replacement services. George M. Hill & Sons will merge with Five Star Plumbing Heating & Cooling to provide best-in-class home service solutions to homeowners in the Greenville-Spartanburg market.

"I'm proud of the business we've built here at George M. Hill & Sons. The decision to move on from the business did not come easily; however, due to personal circumstances surrounding my health, I felt it was necessary to find a partner that could continue to care for our customers and employees," said Todd Ramella, owner of George M. Hill & Sons. "When evaluating potential partners, it was clear that Five Star Plumbing Heating & Cooling would not only honor the customer and employee relationships that we have built over the past 75-plus years, but that they would be able to go above and beyond with their additional plumbing and electrical service offerings."

"We are thrilled to partner with such a well-respected and long-standing brand like George M. Hill & Sons. The opportunity to continue to grow in the Greenville-Spartanburg market with such a strong brand and loyal customer base is incredibly exciting," added Ingrid Verseeuw, general manager of Five Star Plumbing Heating & Cooling. "Over the next few months, we intend to invest in additional technology, training, and resources to build upon the excellent service George M. Hill & Sons customers have received over the years."
