HOUSTON, TX, May 5, 2026 — Mr. Reliable, one of Houston’s leading locally owned residential HVAC companies, has acquired the assets of Comfort Squad.
Comfort Squad is a founder-owned residential AC repair company that has served Greater Houston for 13 years. The acquisition deepens Mr. Reliable’s presence in the region, particularly in the Katy area, where the two companies have historically maintained significant service area overlap. Over that time, Comfort Squad built a loyal base of nearly 10,000 residential customers. Former Comfort Squad customers can expect seamless service continuity—the same commitment to quality and responsiveness they’ve always received, now backed by the resources of Mr. Reliable.
A Partnership Built on Trust
The transition is the result of a long-standing professional and personal relationship between the leadership of both companies.
“I first met Emmanuel Ramirez, Comfort Squad’s founder, over five years ago,” said Drew Gay, CEO of Mr. Reliable. “We became fast friends and shared business ideas as we scaled our respective companies. When Emmanuel was ready to step away from Comfort Squad and focus on his growing family, he contacted me about buying the business. We are honored that Emmanuel chose us to continue the Comfort Squad legacy.”
Emmanuel Ramirez shared a message of gratitude for his loyal client base: “Thank you to our customers for the many years of support. There is no one else I trust more than Drew and the team at Mr. Reliable to continue serving you.”
The Local Alternative
Mr. Reliable remains a standout in Houston as one of the few truly locally owned and operated residential AC platforms. In an industry increasingly dominated by national chains and brand conglomerates, Mr. Reliable is Houston-grown, Houston-run, and accountable to the communities it serves.
“We are grateful for the trust Emmanuel placed in us to serve his customers,” said Sykes Yeates, Co-Owner of Mr. Reliable. “Mr. Reliable is the ideal partner for any Houston-based entrepreneur in the HVAC industry seeking to sell their business to a family-oriented, locally-owned company.”
