Voomi Supply, a Philadelphia-based technology-driven online distributor of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool supplies, has raised $10M in Series A funding led by Asymmetric Capital Partners. The platform offers over 1M SKUs with fast nationwide shipping and expert support for contractors and DIYers. The capital will expand its AI-powered procurement platform, supplier network, new categories, and team.
Following SupplyHouse KKR Investment
The raise follows SupplyHouse.com's strategic investment from KKR in July 2025. SupplyHouse, a leading online HVAC and plumbing distributor, has raised over $497M in prior rounds. Voomi Supply's tech-focused approach targets the fragmented HVAC supply chain amid rising online procurement demand.
Refrigerant Rules Drive Upgrades
Global HVAC market stands at $333B in 2026, projected to reach $527B by 2035 at 7.4% CAGR. The 2026 EPA refrigerant phase-down from R-410A to low-GWP options like R-454B forces widespread equipment replacements. Traditional distributors struggle with inventory agility and pricing amid announced February 2026 hikes from multiple manufacturers.
AI Platform Modernizes Procurement
Voomi Supply built an AI-driven B2B e-commerce platform aggregating 1M+ SKUs across HVAC parts, systems, plumbing, electrical, and tools. Unlike narrower players like HVACDirect.com, Voomi offers comprehensive catalogs with same-day shipping eligibility for 100,000+ products. The platform addresses pros' pain points with competitive pricing and expert support.
Broad Catalog Beats Niche Focus
Competitors such as ACWholesalers.com emphasize AC units with price guarantees but lack Voomi's multi-category depth including pool supplies. Voomi's nationwide fulfillment from Latrobe, PA, ensures 98%+ customer satisfaction via thousands of 5-star reviews. This positions it to capture share in commercial shifts like data center HVAC demand.
As RJ Cilley, CEO noted:
"Voomi Supply was built to modernize purchasing across HVAC and industrial supply markets… We’re excited to partner with Asymmetric Capital Partners."
Growth Capital Signals Momentum
Asymmetric Capital Partners led the round with Highmount Capital participation, following Operator Partners' 2023 strategic investment. Asymmetric's focus on industrial tech validates Voomi's execution in a massive fragmented market. The profile shifts from seed to growth capital, enabling scale against incumbents like Watsco.
HVAC Market Scales to $527B
US HVAC distribution exceeds $165B within the global $333B equipment market growing at 7.4% CAGR through 2035. Key drivers include IRA heat pump incentives and $593B hyperscaler data center spend in 2026, up 45% YoY. Voomi differentiates via tech in a space where SupplyHouse.com secured KKR capital recently.
Data Centers Offset Residential Dip
Residential HVAC softens per Carrier Global's 2026 outlook, but commercial demand surges from electrification and data centers. Online distributors gain as contractors shift to digital procurement post-pandemic. Voomi's $10M fuels competition in this $280B global distribution segment at 6.7% CAGR.
SimpleTire Founders Scale Again
Co-founders Josh and Andy Chalofsky scaled SimpleTire, an online tire distributor, via Dealer Tire and Bain Capital investments before 2022 transition. Their e-commerce expertise directly transfers to Voomi's HVAC model. New CEO RJ Cilley, ex-Saks COO, joined July 2024; Faron Schonfeld adds Citadel ops scale.
Platform and Team Expansion Ahead
Funds target AI enhancements, supplier onboarding, category additions beyond HVAC, and hiring. With 40 employees now, Voomi eyes national growth amid 2026 regulations. Deployments serve thousands via Voomi Pro Rewards and financing options.
