Presidential Heating & Air Conditioning, a trusted home-comfort provider serving Montgomery County, Maryland, and the surrounding communities, has successfully acquired Shipley Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning. The acquisition expands Presidential's whole-home service capabilities to include plumbing and drain services, and strengthens the company's position as a full-service home-comfort provider across the region.
Shipley Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning has long been a trusted provider of plumbing and home-comfort services in the Montgomery County market, earning a strong local reputation for attentive service and long-standing customer relationships under the leadership of owner Ron Shipley.
As part of the transaction, Shipley will become part of Presidential and transition to the Presidential name, bringing plumbing, drain clearing, water heater maintenance, repair and replacement, fixture installation, and related capabilities under the Presidential brand. Shipley customers will continue to receive attentive local service while gaining access to Presidential's heating and cooling maintenance, repair, and replacement capabilities, and Presidential customers will now be able to turn to the same team for a wider range of home-comfort needs, including plumbing.
With this acquisition, Presidential is expanding key service offering across Montgomery County while preserving the local commitment and customer relationships that have defined both businesses. The combination brings together two well-established teams under a single brand, giving homeowners across the region a seamless, high-quality experience for their heating, cooling, plumbing, and drain needs. Speaking about the impact of the acquisition, Chris Nixon, General Manager of Presidential Heating & Air Conditioning, stated:
"We are proud to welcome Shipley's customers and team. This combination allows us to bring trusted plumbing expertise to Presidential customers and dependable support to Shipley customers. Most importantly, it strengthens our ability to provide a seamless, high-quality experience throughout Montgomery County."

Reflecting on the new chapter for the business, Ron Shipley, Owner of Shipley Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, remarked:
"Our customers and our team have always been at the center of Shipley. Joining Presidential gives us the opportunity to preserve that local commitment while offering customers more services and giving our team enhanced training and growth opportunities.
