Johnson Controls has acquired Password Services (Holdings) Limited including Password Services (Air Conditioning) Limited, a specialist HVAC service and solutions provider.  

Formed over 25 years ago, Midlands-based Password Services provides an extensive range of HVAC services and installations. Specialising in Roof Top Air Conditioning within the hospitality sector, the company has been a distributor and partner for the Johnson Controls, YORK equipment brand for more than 20 years.

The acquisition enhances Johnson Controls’ overall HVAC capabilities and scope of operations in the UK and brings to the Johnson Controls family specialist knowledge serving the hospitality sector.

"Password Services is a well-recognised HVAC service and solutions provider in the UK, having built the company’s reputation on delivering outstanding service to their customers. Our two companies have a long history of working together and we are excited by the opportunity to build on our shared history,” said Michael Anderton, General Manager HVAC-R, at Johnson Controls.

"We are thrilled to be officially joining the Johnson Controls family,” said Richard Schlanker, Managing Director at Password Services. “This is a great opportunity to build on what we have achieved over the last 25 years. The support of the Johnson Controls management team will allow us to grow the business into the future, and develop customer service and performance levels. We have a strong relationship with our existing customers and look forward to building on these and establishing new opportunities, together.”

In the immediate future, Password Services will continue operating as usual, whilst Johnson Controls works to integrate the business into its UK platform. The current business owners Richard Schlanker, Alison Adams, and Elaine Tovey plan to remain with the business together with the full Password Services team of highly skilled and experienced engineering, service, and project delivery teams.
