About

Mike Eaton built New Berlin Heating & Air Conditioning into a Milwaukee-area residential HVAC name before selling the company to Philadelphia platform Sila Services in November 2024.

Sila’s announcement and BizTimes coverage quote him as general manager welcoming the partnership while staying on to lead the local brand, which traces its roots to 1983.

In March 2025 Eaton personally acquired a roughly 15,500-square-foot industrial building in the New Berlin Industrial Park for $950,000, relocating the company inside the park. Barry Company reporting calls him president after the Sila sale and frames the purchase as an owner-user move to support growth after the platform deal.

The story ties tightly to New Berlin’s industrial corridor: same suburb for the local brand name, the Sila sale narrative, and the new shop that replaced a prior cabinetry occupancy on that industrial-park site. Operating equity now sits with Sila; Eaton remains the public local leader.
