Redwood Services (Redwood), a renowned home services firm that is focused on investing in major residential HVAC, plumbing and electrical services companies, in growing U.S. markets, has announced it has invested in Arlinghaus Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning (Arlinghaus).

In that time, the company swiftly grew and developed a reputation as one of the most trusted HVAC companies in the Cincinnati tri-state area, complete with a state-of-the-art training university and distinctive bright pink branding, which proudly amplified by over 100 employees.

With their passion for providing exceptional service and giving back to the community, the Arlinghaus team has established a tremendous foundation from which the company is poised to grow in the years to come,” said Richard Lewis, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Redwood Services.

The Arlinghaus team, led by Brian as President and Heather as General Manager, will continue to operate and manage the business, under the Arlinghaus banner and name, while Redwood Services offers operational, strategic and financial support to enhance the company’s growth in the Cincinnati market.

Since the day we started Arlinghaus, over 13 years ago, we have remained dedicated to our core mission, achieving and exceeding the expectations of our customers by working together as a cohesive and passionate team,” said Brian Arlinghaus, President of Arlinghaus, adding “Redwood Services shares that focus on teamwork and community.

While Brian and I never planned to take on a partner for our company, Redwood understood what made us successful while offering a level of operational expertise that promises to supercharge our growth,” said Heather Arlinghaus, General Manager of Arlinghaus.

National network of premier home services companies

Arlinghaus marks Redwood’s fourth platform investment overall and second in as many months, following the company’s investments in Tucson-based Rite Way Heating, Cooling and Plumbing in December 2020, Washington D.C.-based John C. Flood of Virginia in June 2021 and Fresno-based Allbritten Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning Services in January 2022.

With the investment in Arlinghaus, Redwood expands its reach from the two coasts to the Midwest US, as it seeks to build out a national network of premier home services companies.
