From a small family heating business to one of Ottawa's most trusted home service networks — here's how we got here.
Reid Heating & Cooling was founded in Ottawa by the Reid family, providing installation and service for heating and cooling systems across the Greater Ottawa Area. From day one, the focus was on quality work and building trust with local families.
George owner of Accurate Security and Carlo owner of Renato's Home Services.take their HVAC trade course together, beginning a partnership built on shared values — a commitment to honest, professional service and genuine care for their customers.
George and Carlo acquire the Reid Heating & Cooling name and merge their existing companies under a new umbrella — Home Service Group Inc. — giving birth to a family of trusted Ottawa home service brands.
Seeing a gap in Ottawa's duct cleaning market — too many companies doing a fast, low-quality job — George and Carlo launch The Duct Scrubber, introducing the Rotobrush scrubbing system to Ottawa. The slogan writes itself: "We don't SUCK — we SCRUB."
With 6 trucks on the road, 7,965+ satisfied customers, and a reputation built on doing the job right every time, The Duct Scrubber remains Ottawa's go-to for duct cleaning that actually lasts 3–5 years.
Home Service Group is built on a 30-year partnership between two people who care deeply about their work and their community.
George has been in the HVAC trade since 1992, when he and Carlo took their licensing course together. He brought his existing business into Home Service Group when they acquired Reid Heating & Cooling in 2006, and has helped grow it into one of Ottawa's most recognized home service networks. George oversees operations and is known for being the person who picks up when you call — not a call centre, not a voicemail, a real person who knows your name.
55+ Yrs Experience Licensed Gas Fitter Ottawa NativeCarlo has been George's partner since they shared a classroom in 1992 learning the HVAC trade. Together they built their individual companies, merged them under the Home Service Group name, and have spent the last two decades expanding to meet every home service need Ottawa residents have. Carlo's focus is on quality — he's the reason every job gets the full 4–6 hours it deserves, and why technicians on every job are fully licensed and accountable.
