The Chill Brothers

What The Chill Brothers does

The Chill Brothers is a residential and commercial HVAC services company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Spring, Texas. The company operates a multi-branch, direct-to-consumer service platform across Texas, North Carolina, and (as of February 2026) Arizona, providing cooling, heating, indoor air quality, insulation, and smart-thermostat services through company-employed, NATE-certified technicians dispatched from eight physical locations. Its core product portfolio spans AC installation and repair, furnace installation and repair, smart thermostat installation, air purification, air duct cleaning, home insulation, and emergency diagnostics, supported by a Lennox Premier Dealer partnership that provides access to premium equipment (ML18XC2, XC20, SL28XCV models) and extended manufacturer warranties.

The business model combines transactional revenue from installations and repair work with a recurring subscription component through the Chill Maintenance Plan ($19.95/month per primary HVAC system, $9.95/month for each additional system), which delivers biannual 21-point inspections, priority service, waived diagnostic fees, and Chill Bucks credits. Revenue is supplemented by partner-enabled financing programs (0% interest 36-month promotions via Service Finance Company and GreenSky), a $2,000 AC Buy Back trade-in program, and a $500 Visa Gift Card referral program. Customer acquisition is driven primarily by Google search presence (2,835+ reviews at a 4.7-star average), home-services marketplaces (Home Advisor Elite/Top Rated, Angi Super Service Award), referral incentives, and earned media such as the Nextdoor Neighborhood Favorite (2024, 2025) and Houston Chronicle Best-of-the-Best awards.

Growth has been predominantly inorganic: nine acquisitions completed between 2022 and 2026 expanded the company from a single-market Houston operator into a multi-state platform spanning Dallas, Austin, Raleigh-Durham, Charlotte, and Phoenix, while broadening the service mix from residential HVAC into commercial HVAC (Texas Central Air, 2022) and multi-trade services including plumbing and electrical (Tucker Hill Air, Plumbing & Electrical, 2026). The company operates as a privately held, founder-owned Texas LLC (Chill Brothers, LLC) with no disclosed venture capital or private equity backing, and reports having served 10,000+ families since inception. Leadership includes Brennan R. Mulcahy as CEO, founder Andrew Schneider as President and Co-Founder, Neil Bhapkar as CMO, and Jordan Methe as VP of Southeastern USA.
