What Mingledorff's does

Mingledorff's, LLC is a wholesale distributor of HVAC equipment, parts, plumbing, electrical, and indoor air quality products serving professional HVAC contractors across the southeastern United States. Founded in 1939 by Walter Lee Mingledorff Jr. and headquartered in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, the company operates 42 branch locations across Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida, and Mississippi, and self-identifies as the Southeast's largest distributor for the Carrier, Bryant, and Heil brands. The core distribution platform combines physical counter sales at branch locations, an account management layer for larger contractor relationships, and a B2B e-commerce website (mingledorffs.com) launched in a refreshed form in May 2026 that enables 24/7 access to pricing, availability, and ordering for registered business accounts. Product breadth spans residential HVAC (air conditioners, heat pumps, gas furnaces, ductless systems), commercial HVAC (VRF, chillers, packaged rooftop, i-Vu/Carrier CCN controls), plumbing (water heaters, fittings, pumps), electrical (generators, breakers, lighting), and IAQ (UV, humidifiers, filtration).

Mingledorff's revenue model is B2B wholesale hardware sales of approximately $1 billion in 2024, generated through account-based pricing with no public consumer pricing. The company layers value-added services onto the distribution function: a Technical Services Group with NATE-certified managers and ESCO EPA proctor capabilities, technical training programs (NATE and EPA 608 certification, manufacturer-specific courses), warranty administration, and dealer development programs including lead generation, co-op marketing, and rebates. The primary customer segment is professional HVAC contractors (residential installers, service technicians, and commercial contractors), with secondary support for residential dealers. One named enterprise relationship is documented (Estes Services, with a 70-year partnership). The company was acquired by SRS Distribution Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Home Depot, in a deal announced March 24, 2026 and completed May 11, 2026; terms were undisclosed, President and CEO David Kesterton retained leadership, and Home Depot cited approximately $100 billion in incremental total addressable market as strategic rationale.
