Entrepreneur Anthony Perera returns to lead the company he launched in 2017
Florida entrepreneur, Anthony Perera, has successfully reacquired Air Pros USA’s legacy operations in Florida through the investment firm, Exuma Capital Partners. This strategic move brings Air Pros USA back under Perera’s leadership, reinforcing its mission to provide top-tier home services in Fort Myers, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami, Boca Raton, Davie, Tampa, Ocala, and Orlando. The purchase also includes Florida-based plumbing company, Drain Genie and the generator and electrical contracting brand, Personalized Power.
Perera, a native Floridian, who stepped down as Air Pros USA CEO in 2022, is committed to rebuilding the company he founded in 2017. The move comes after the previous board voted to restructure, breaking the company into regional operations under Chapter 11 proceedings. Perera’s re-acquisition ensures that Air Pros USA’s legacy company, which has always been profitable, will remain a strong and reliable service provider in the Florida region.
“I started this company with one truck and one employee and grew it into one of the largest HVAC companies in the state focused on delivering exceptional service to our customers in Florida,” said Anthony Perera, Founder and Managing Partner of Exuma Capital Partners. “After I stepped down as CEO, I saw the board making business decisions that were not in the best interest of our employees or our customers. So I’m coming back with a full commitment to maintain the high standards and performance that led Air Pros USA to become a leading Florida company.”
Perera’s rebuilding strategy includes immediate investments to restore the company’s original customer-first culture, rebuild a network of leaders who share his vision, and reassure customers of the company’s stability.
The legacy operations of Air Pros USA have been acquired through the private equity firm, Exuma Capital Partners, which Perera founded in 2024 to support strategic investments in high-growth middle markets like home service and technology industries. Air Pros USA joins Peak Roofing Partners, Inspected.com, Property.com, and R30 Brands in Exuma Capital’s Family of Companies.
