FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Acquisition deepens system-level HVAC capabilities and advances Meriton’s regional growth strategy in the Pacific Northwest.

BOISEJan. 30, 2026 —Meriton, a national alliance of leading HVAC manufacturer representatives, announced the acquisition of Innovative Air, Inc., a respected HVAC representative based in Boise, Idaho. The addition strengthens Meriton’s presence in the Pacific Northwest, building on its existing footprint in the region through CMS.

Founded in 2003, Innovative Air has built a strong reputation for technical expertise, responsive service, and collaborative partnerships with engineers, contractors, and building owners. The company represents a broad portfolio of airside and wetside HVAC equipment and is known for its capabilities in building automation, controls, and system start-up services.

The acquisition advances Meriton’s strategy of partnering with strong local companies that bring deep technical expertise and long-standing customer relationships in key markets. Innovative Air’s experience supporting complex commercial, institutional, and industrial projects enhances Meriton’s ability to deliver integrated, system-level HVAC solutions across the Pacific Northwest.

The Pacific Northwest remains a priority growth market for Meriton, driven by increasing demand for energy-efficient systems, infrastructure modernization, and technically complex building environments. Innovative Air’s system-level capabilities strengthen Meriton’s regional platform, expanding its ability to support high-performance projects while preserving a local, relationship-driven approach.

“Innovative Air brings a proven track record of system-level thinking and execution that matters in today’s Pacific Northwest market,” said Jerry Braun, Chief Executive Officer of Meriton. “As building systems become more complex and performance expectations increase, their integrated approach strengthens how we serve customers in the region. This acquisition adds meaningful value to our team and positions Innovative Air to continue doing what they do best with greater scale and support.”

Innovative Air will continue operating with its existing leadership team, employees, and customer relationships. As part of Meriton, the company will gain access to shared resources, expanded technical collaboration, and long-term investment, while maintaining the local focus and culture that have driven its success.
