Southern Home Services, an operator of home service companies and a portfolio company of Gryphon Investors, has purchased Elite Electric, Plumbing & Air serving Port St. Lucie, Fla. and surrounding areas.

The company is known for its plumbing, HVAC and electrical services. By pooling resources, Southern aims to strengthen relationships with homeowners throughout the region. Elite will continue to operate under its current name.

“This partnership not only further secures our contiguous coverage along the I-95 corridor between Fernandina Beach to the north and West Palm Beach to the south, but also strengthens Elite’s capacity to provide exceptional services and expertise to the Port St. Lucie community,” says Jarrod Brinker, chief strategy officer for Southern Home Services.
