The SEER Group just added another piece to its national home services network with the acquisition of Tuscan Electric, Heating & Plumbing, a fast-growing, family-run firm based in Denver. This move deepens SEER’s presence in Colorado while reinforcing its playbook: acquiring service businesses that blend technical skill with strong community reputation.
This transaction fits squarely into a larger pattern of consolidation in the trades services space. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical remain highly fragmented - many firms are owner-operated, regional, and lack access to capital for expansion. Platforms like SEER are capitalizing on this fragmentation by aggregating specialist contractors, creating scale, and offering shared infrastructure for operations, technology, and management.
For private equity investors and strategic buyers, the appeal of this sector is twofold: recurring service and maintenance revenue generate steady cash flow, and acquisition targets offer strong customer loyalty rooted in community trust. Moreover, cross-selling across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical opens new revenue streams.
From a PE-focused roll-up strategy, SEER’s acquisition of Tuscan exemplifies how to build a national service platform through value-aligned, founder-led deals. SEER, backed by major sponsors, systematically seeks out home services firms with strong leadership, regional brand recognition, and the capacity to scale. Tuscan’s founders, Doda and Cobo, have built a business that is both fast-growing and highly rated, making it a natural fit for SEER’s model of collecting “locally respected brands under a common operational umbrella.”
This is not a “roll away” consolidation. SEER’s strategy deliberately preserves the identity and operational autonomy of its acquisitions. Tuscan retains its name and team, but gains access to resources - back office, growth capital, shared best practices - that would be difficult to access independently.
Additionally, SEER’s pattern of acquisitions reflects a geographic play: expanding into key metro areas while layering in the same service mix (HVAC, plumbing, electrical). Earlier in 2025, for example, SEER entered Texas via Swan Electric, Plumbing, Heating & Air. Earlier still, it added Alpine Heating & Air in Oregon.
Several underlying dynamics make this sector particularly favorable for PE-backed roll-ups:
The SEER Group’s acquisition of Tuscan Electric, Heating & Plumbing in Denver is a textbook example of how lower-middle-market consolidation in trade services works today: platform acquirer meets fast-growing, founder-led business, preserves its identity, and supports further scale. For founders, it offers a way to accelerate growth without losing cultural roots. For private equity investors, it reinforces the case for building scalable, multi-trade service platforms. And for operators, it underlines the enduring value of service quality, local trust, and technical excellence in driving successful roll-up outcomes.
If you’re a founder in home services thinking about your next move, whether growth capital, partial sale, or seeking a value-aligned partner - SEER’s strategy with Tuscan provides a compelling playbook.
