TORONTO —August 31, 2022 – MechCan Inc. (“MechCan”) is pleased to announce a partnership with
Mike Barry, the owner-operator of Comfort Zone Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing (“Comfort Zone”
or “CZ”). Serving Cobourg, Ontario and the surrounding areas since 2005, Comfort Zone is a local market
leader offering HVAC and plumbing installation and services. This marks MechCan’s third transaction
since its launch in January 2022. MechCan was founded to enable owner-operators of mechanical
services companies across Canada to realize the value in their business while preserving their legacy and
best positioning their business for sustainable growth.
“We are excited to welcome Comfort Zone to the MechCan family of brands” said Spencer Ross, Co-
Founder of MechCan. “Mike and the CZ team have built an exceptional residential services company
with a strong local reputation. Partnerships with talented entrepreneurs like Mike that do business the
right way are the backbone of our strategy. This is our third transaction in Southern Ontario and we
intend to continue investing heavily in the region as we build out our Canadian mechanical services
platform.”
“Since its inception in 2005, Comfort Zone’s growth and success has come from one thing – happy
customers.” said Mike Barry, Comfort Zone’s Co-Founder. “We are proud to service residents of our
community, local home builders, renovation specialists, and inspection teams. We are confident that
this partnership with MechCan will provide the resources necessary to best serve our customers and
support our long-standing and loyal employees. With MechCan’s backing, Comfort Zone will invest to
accelerate its growth, including the recent addition of plumbing to our core heating and cooling
offering.”
Comfort Zone will continue to operate under its local brand and retain its high-quality team of
technicians and support staff with Mike Barry leading the business. Through this transaction, Mike will
remain a significant shareholder of CZ, become a shareholder of MechCan, and lend his decades of
experience in the industry to the MechCan team to help further the buildout of its mechanical services
platform.
