Tropic Mechanical Ownership Group Acquires Weathertrol Maintenance Corp, Creating Florida’s Most Comprehensive HVAC Solutions Provider
Miami, FL – August 7, 2025 – Tropic Systems Group, parent company of Tropic Mechanical — Florida’s leading Healthcare, Institutional, and Educational Design-Build HVAC contractor — is proud to announce the acquisition of Weathertrol Maintenance Corp, a distinguished name in HVAC Service and Maintenance throughout South Florida for over five decades.
This strategic move marks the culmination of years of close collaboration and partnership, bringing together two industry leaders to create Florida’s most comprehensive end-to-end HVAC solutions provider.
A Transformative Partnership
With the aim of enhancing the ability to deliver value across all categories of HVAC solutions, the acquisition strengthens Tropic Mechanical’s full-service capabilities by seamlessly integrating its best-in-class HVAC Design-Build, Construction, and Engineering expertise with Weathertrol Maintenance Corp’s quality HVAC Service and Maintenance support.
“This marks an exciting new chapter for both companies,” said Jerry Fernandez, Principal at Tropic Mechanical. “Weathertrol’s long-standing reputation for excellence in HVAC service aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation and quality. Together, we can more readily provide our clients with end-to-end support through all phases of a facility’s life — from initial design and construction, through turnover and warranty, to long-term maintenance and optimization.”
Continued Excellence in HVAC Service and Maintenance
Weathertrol and the Borja Family have been pioneers in South Florida’s HVAC service industry for over 55 years — earning a reputation for reliability, technical precision, and customer-focused solutions. Weathertol’s highly skilled service team specializes in HVAC Service, Maintenance, Repair, and Operational Support. Throughout the company’s history, Weathertrol has been trusted to service many of South Florida’s highest-profile critical-use facilities, successfully delivering solutions that ensure peak performance while extending the longevity of these critical HVAC systems.
Weathertrol’s portfolio includes decades of support to Miami International Airport, AT&T, FPL, GSA, Miami Dade College, and Dade County Public Schools — among others.
When asked about the merger, Carlos Borja, Principal at Weathertrol said, “Leveraging the technical expertise and engineering capabilities of both firms will allow us to provide a full suite of services, which is unique in our market and positions us to set a new standard of excellence in the industry.“
Expansion and Enhancement by Florida’s Leader in HVAC Innovation
Tropic Mechanical is the #1 HVAC Provider for Healthcare in South Florida, executing more AHCA-certified projects than any other HVAC trade partner. Headquartered in Miami, with offices on Florida’s West Coast and North Florida, Tropic Mechanical serves clients statewide with a value-driven, engineering-first approach to its full scope of HVAC solutions.
As an innovator in the HVAC industry, the company has led several of the largest-scale and most complex projects in the state. Tropic Mechanical’s portfolio includes collaborations with major healthcare institutions like Baptist Health, UHealth, Jackson Health System, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, Memorial Healthcare, and Mayo Clinic, as well as prominent educational establishments such as the University of Miami, Miami-Dade College, Florida Atlantic University, and Florida International University. The company has successfully completed numerous projects for various sector leaders, showcasing its expertise in delivering state-of-the-art HVAC systems for critical environments.
“This union represents more than growth — it’s about transforming ourselves to better serve the needs of our customers,” said Jerry Fernandez, Principal at Tropic Mechanical. “We’ve leveled up, and we’re excited to bring this whole new dimension of value to our clients.”
