Watsco has announced the closing of its acquisition of Jackson Supply Company.

Jackson Supply has been a cornerstone of the HVAC distribution industry for more than 50 years, growing from its founding in 1972 into one of the Sunbelt’s largest and most respected independent distributors, with $230 million in sales in 2025. This investment represents a meaningful expansion of Watsco’s footprint across the Sunbelt, adding 25 locations and approximately 5,000 contractor customers across Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arizona — some of the fastest-growing markets in the United States.

Importantly, Jackson Supply will retain its name, vendor relationships, go-to-market strategy, brand identity, and culture — core elements that have driven its success. Jackson Supply will continue to be led by its existing leadership team, consistent with Watsco’s long-standing approach of investing in outstanding leaders and proven cultures.

Albert H. Nahmad, Watsco’s chairman and CEO, said: “We are thrilled to officially welcome Jackson Supply into the Watsco family. Jim Durrett and his exceptional team have built one of the most respected and entrepreneurial businesses in the HVAC distribution industry over more than five decades. We are humbled by their success and look forward to investing in their growth and supporting their ambitions for years to come.”

The closing of the Jackson Supply transaction underscores Watsco’s ongoing commitment to expanding its share of the estimated $74 billion North American HVAC/R distribution market. Watsco remains actively engaged in seeking additional growth opportunities with high-quality, independent distributors who share its values and growth ambitions.
