Ownership history
- Founder reacquisition Exuma Capital Partners
What changed after the sale
Perera stepped down as CEO in 2022; the subsequent board put the company through a Chapter 11 restructuring that broke it into regional operations. In June 2025 Perera reacquired the legacy Florida operations - including sister brands Drain Genie (plumbing) and Personalized Power (generators/electrical) - through his firm Exuma Capital Partners, saying he was 'coming back with a full commitment to maintain the high standards and performance that led Air Pros USA to become a leading Florida company' and planning to rebuild leadership and restore a customer-first culture. This is a rare documented reversal of private-equity control in the Tampa market.
