Southern describes a recent acquisition of the Maryland HVAC contractor and continuing local branding. Current plumbing or electrical services are not assumed from the platform’s broader service mix. The start date, September 27, is the date on the press release, not a legal closing date. The source page itself shows September 26. Current affiliation was checked in the platform directory. The upstream sponsor chain retains July 26, 2026 baseline observations; this brand addition does not refresh that chain.
