(KANSAS CITY – December 12, 2009) - With all the bad news about the economy, it’s good to know that some companies are not only surviving, but thriving. Anthony Plumbing, Heating & Cooling has acquired its fourth heating and cooling company in less than three years. Efficiency Air, Heating & Cooling was acquired on November 16th. Terry White, the former owner of Efficiency Air, Heating & Cooling, has also joined Anthony Plumbing, Heating & Cooling as a comfort consultant.

Steve Burbridge, an owner of Anthony Plumbing, Heating & Cooling, explained his theory behind their steady growth, “We have had significant organic growth which we like to attribute to our customer service. However, we also get opportunities like this to purchase other companies and when that happens, it give us the chance to ‘wow’ many new customers with our personal service. We provide Technicians You Can Trust With Your House Keys® and customers truly see a difference.”

When asked about future plans, Burbridge replied, “Our long-term plan is to gain as much market share as we can, based on the philosophy of excellent customer service. It’s a simple concept but takes a lot of commitment and it’s working for us. Doing a great job for others is something I feel good about personally.”

Burbridge has been a consultant in the HVAC and plumbing industry since 1996, and many companies have looked to him for guidance. Burbridge stated that he enjoys helping others, and will not hesitate to acquire other heating, cooling or plumbing businesses if it makes strategic and/or economic sense.
