Cool Air Solutions

What Cool Air Solutions does

Cool Air Solutions is a privately held, founder-led HVAC and plumbing services contractor headquartered in Murrieta, California, operating across Riverside, San Diego, and Orange Counties with a secondary office in Vista. Founded in 2006 by Justin Holmquist (President & Founder), the firm serves both residential homeowners — its primary segment — and commercial businesses, providing air conditioning repair, installation and maintenance; heating and heat pump service; indoor air quality solutions; and full-service plumbing including water heaters, drain cleaning, leak detection, and trenchless sewer work. Technical differentiation rests on W-2 licensed and background-checked technicians (not subcontractors), industry certifications (NATE, ACCA, NCI, BPI, Lennox Premier Dealer, Energy Star), and installation practices such as nitrogen brazing during equipment hook-up that most contractors skip. Revenue is generated on a per-job basis across HVAC and plumbing services, equipment sales and installation (with financing as low as 0% for 60 months or 5.99% APR), and a recurring Comfort Club annual membership offering priority service, repair discounts, and credit toward future equipment purchases. The firm layers channel partnerships — TECH Clean California, SoCalGas, HEEHRA, Comfortably California, GoGreen Financing, Goodleap, and Lennox — to give customers privileged access to utility, state, and federal rebates on heat pumps and high-efficiency equipment, a structural lever in the residential electrification cycle. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via phone (24/7), website booking, and in-person service across 50+ Southern California cities, with marketing emphasis on service guarantees, financing, and a corpus of 8,000+ five-star reviews. As of 2025 the company announced plans to acquire Approved Air, Inc., signaling the start of inorganic expansion.
