Norfolk, VA – [July 7, 2026] – AIR Control Concepts (“AIR”) is pleased to announce that Aireau Qualité Contrôle (“Aireau”), a Quebec-based provider of commercial HVAC equipment, humidification, and industrial air quality solutions, has joined the AIR platform. Aireau will operate under O’Dell HVAC Group, extending the platform’s Canadian presence into Quebec and continuing its coast-to-coast growth across the country.

Aireau serves consulting engineers, contractors, OEMs, and building owners across Quebec as a manufacturers’ representative and exclusive distributor of premier commercial HVAC products. The company is a recognized specialist in air handling, humidification, industrial dust collectors and source capture equipment. With teams serving the Montreal and Quebec City markets, Aireau has built its reputation on technical depth, responsive service, and product lines that meet demanding performance and energy standards.

“Aireau is exactly the kind of team we want on this platform,” said Hayden Bland, Chief Operating Officer of AIR Control Concepts. “They know their market, they know their products, and they have earned the trust of engineers and contractors across Quebec. With Aireau alongside O’Dell, our Canadian network now reaches from British Columbia to the Maritimes, and every one of those teams stays local, backed by the scale and resources of AIR.”

The addition builds on a period of significant Canadian growth for the platform. O’Dell HVAC Group, which joined AIR in 2025, has since expanded from its Ontario base into the Maritimes, Alberta and British Columbia. Aireau brings Quebec into that footprint, along with deep expertise in humidification and industrial air quality that strengthen the network as a whole.

“Joining the AIR platform is a strong step forward for our team and our customers,” said Martin Brisebois, President of Aireau Qualité Contrôle. “Our customers will continue working with the same people, the same products, and the same standard of service they have always counted on. What changes is what stands behind us. With the reach of O’Dell and the resources of AIR, we can do more for Quebec than ever before.”

Aireau’s alignment with O’Dell HVAC Group deepens the platform’s ability to support engineers, contractors, and building owners across Canada with complete, high-performing HVAC solutions delivered through trusted local teams.
