CANONSBURG, Pa. — ABM Franchising Group LLC, a subsidiary of  ABM Industries Inc., announced that Brophy Air Specialty Group LLC, signed an agreement to join its Linc Service franchise network. Brophy Air Specialty Group is a full-service provider of HVAC contracting in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Linc Service is a franchise brand of ABM Franchising Group.

Miami-based Brophy Air Specialty Group was established in 1991 and is a family-owned business providing comprehensive HVAC to clients in the commercial, industrial, and residential markets. The company prides itself with offering preventive maintenance programs to help prolong equipment life, efficiencies and reduce breakdowns, along with HVAC repairs, service, replacements, new equipment installations, and indoor air quality monitoring.

Brophy Air Specialty Group plans to expand its offerings to include Linc Service’s full range of services, including proactive and preventive maintenance, to better meet its clients’ needs.

“We’re very excited to join the Linc Service network,” said Richard Brophy, general manager of Brophy Air Specialty Group. “Joining the Linc Service network provides us with an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with other like-minded contractors. Fundamentally, we all share the same core values of delivering exceptional quality, with unparalleled service for our clients.”

Brophy Air Specialty Group currently employs a team of 15. As the business continues to grow, Brophy said the company plans to grow its team as it expands to serve Martin, Broward, and Palm Beach counties in Florida, while continuing to serve Miami-Dade County.

The company prides itself on its employee and client-based focus.
