Our Vision For CMS Nextech


Stable, Growing HVACR Maintenance Market

• Customers place premium on reliability and system uptime and rely on CMS for 24/7 service
Scale Player with National Customer Base

• CMS’ geographic reach (400+ technicians across 33 states) and benefits of scale, brand recognition, history of success with national customer base, and dedicated HVAC self-performing service model positions the business well to win with multi-site national accounts
• Business has a proven track record of geographic expansion (16 offices, including 6 opened in the last 4 years)
Platform for consolidation
