WALLER, Texas, July 10, 2023 – Daikin Comfort Technologies North America, Inc. (Daikin) subsidiary AirReps has acquired the operations and employees of two companies, Integrated Systems and Controls, LLC and InControl. Both companies are located in the Seattle metro region and have been in business since 2005 and 2001, respectively.

Daikin sources report Integrated Systems is nationally recognized for their OEM startup and warranty support services, as it also addresses some of the most challenging sites and situations relative to complex equipment and applications.

InControl represents many controls and energy management products including control monitoring and metering. The addition of InControl’s products and controls support is complimentary to Daikin’s continued technology development. 

These acquisitions will help Daikin, in conjunction with AirReps, to meet the commercial market’s need for integrated services. The combined capabilities these additions will offer Daikin’s VRV and Light Commercial business include service capability, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance programs. 

“Both acquisitions will greatly enhance the capabilities of AirReps and will allow us to provide a more comprehensive array of services for our customers,” said Takayuki (Taka) Inoue, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Daikin Comfort Technologies. “This will include an expanded variety of products, controls support and service from start-up and warranty to long term maintenance and repair.”
