St. Catharines, ON -

Right Time Group of Companies (“Right Time”), a leading home services provider in Canada, announced today the acquisition of Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Breathe Clean Mini Split Heat Pump Cleaning (“Breathe Clean” or the “Company”), expanding its growth in Nova Scotia. Since 2016, Breathe Clean has been providing first-rate ductless heat pump cleaning services in Halifax and the surrounding areas. Employees of the Company will join the Right Time team and continue to serve their customers and community. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Breathe Clean, founded in 2016 by Cleve and Michelle Brewer, is the 21st acquisition completed by Right Time as part of its continued growth strategy. “We’re thrilled to have Breathe Clean join the Right Time team,” said Right Time VP of Corporate Development Curtis Budgell. “The Brewer family has built a highly successful and innovative company that we are excited to have join our strong and growing stable of home services brands.”

Seven years ago, Breathe Clean became the first dedicated heat pump cleaning company in Nova Scotia, and North America, when deep cleaning services beyond a basic filter cleaning were not available locally. Since then, the Company has expanded its loyal customer base in Halifax and the surrounding areas and has earned an A+ rating with the BBB. “We’re excited to have Right Time continue on from the foundation we’ve built,” shared Cleve and Michelle Brewer. “We’re confident they’re the perfect choice to take our company to the next level for our team, loyal customers and beyond.”
