April 5, 2024

PHILADELPHIA — Sila Services LLC has made two acquisitions, Glasco Heating & Air Conditioning and Essential Power Systems.

The additions represent a further expansion of Sila’s ability to serve more customers, with more solutions, across the Connecticut and New York region, a press release from the company said.

Glasco Heating & Air Conditioning, founded in 1994 and based in South Windsor, Connecticut,  serves residential customers in much of the state providing heating, air-conditioning, and IAQ services.

Essential Power Systems, based in Lagrangeville, New York, is an installer of backup generator power solutions. With its focus on installations, maintenance, and emergency services, Essential Power Systems is the brand name customers seek out for outstanding service across the Hudson Valley region and beyond.

“We are thrilled to welcome the teams from Glasco Heating & Air Conditioning and Essential Power Systems to the Sila Services family,” said Jason Rabbino, CEO of Sila Services, in a press release. “These two great acquisitions further expand our expert home comfort offerings and geographical reach to more customers. Together, they solidify Sila Services’ position as the premier provider of a full range of home trade solutions. In evaluating opportunities for growth in the Connecticut and New York region, it was clear that both Glasco and Essential Power Systems were ideal partners.”

“Sila Services proved to be the optimal fit to accelerate our growth, expand the opportunities for our people, and enhance our customer experience,” said Paul Russo, general manager at Glasco Heating & Air Conditioning. “As a people-first organization, Sila genuinely understands the value of our dedicated employees and the incredible potential of our company. We’re excited to be working together to create even more opportunities for our team.”

“Partnering with Sila Services provides Essential Power Systems with highly successful strategies, infinite support, and a full-fledged team of behind-the-scenes experts committed to building a bright future of exponential growth and excellence in the standby power industry,” said Barbara Gromwaldt, general manager at Essential Power Systems. “With the additional resources that Sila brings, it will allow us to expand our team and serve even more customers across our community.”
