Rescue Cooling Rentals

What Rescue Cooling Rentals does

Rescue Cooling Rentals is a privately held, Texas-based portable HVAC rental company that delivers and installs temporary air conditioning and dehumidification equipment to residential and commercial customers across nine U.S. states. Founded in 2021 and led by Founder and President Matthew Burton, the company operates 14–15 service locations spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah — concentrated in high-heat Sun Belt and Southeastern markets where emergency cooling demand is structurally elevated. The corporate headquarters is in Grapevine, Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth), and the firm maintains 11–50 employees.

The company's core offering is a fleet of portable AC units ranging from a 6,000 BTU Mini Cooler (cooling up to 250 sq ft at $35/day) to a 56,000+ BTU 5-Ton industrial solution (cooling up to 2,000 sq ft), plus a 1.75-Ton water-cooled variant for spaces without drop ceilings or external exhaust access and a parallel dehumidifier rental line. Notable technical components include a multi-unit modular 5-Ton configuration for faster deployment in tight spaces, a 24/7 phone-led intake model (833-484-2665), and a contractually stated 90-minute-or-less delivery and setup SLA across its service footprint. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, combining local phone numbers, per-city landing pages for organic search, website quote forms (72-hour response), and social presence on Facebook and TikTok.

Rescue Cooling Rentals generates revenue on a usage-based daily rental model, with publicly disclosed pricing for the two smallest SKUs and quote-based pricing for 1-Ton units and above. Customer segments are broad and horizontal — residential (homeowners and renters facing AC breakdowns or heat waves) and commercial (offices, manufacturing, medical, restaurants, warehouses, and churches) — with no named enterprise anchors and a customer base anchored in individual and small-business transactions. In April 2024 the company closed a $2.4 million funding round (investors undisclosed) which appears to underwrite continued fleet expansion and geographic densification.
