A Frisco-based energy company founded by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is partnering with Crete United, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based provider of energy efficiency and HVAC, electrical, and other mechanical services.
The partnership creates a ‘strong, effective’ new connected delivery model combining Crete United’s core HVAC, electrical and other mechanical services with ProStar’s data-backed energy management-as-a-service for built environments, Crete United said.
“The opportunity for businesses across the country to enhance their building operations through energy efficiency has never been greater,” Eric Sudol, president of Energy Efficiency at Crete United and CEO of ProStar Energy Solutions, said in a statement. “Partnering with Crete United, a fast-growing company with established relationships and deep MEP expertise, is an amazing opportunity that will enable us to bring efficient energy management solutions to the built environment.”
Driven by a focused M&A strategy and a strong organic growth engine, Crete United said that it generated roughly 40% revenue growth in 2023.
The company rebranded from Crete Mechanical Group to Crete United this year, symbolizing the commitment of its more than 40 partner companies nationwide to “improve the health of the built environment together.”
Partnership benefits
Crete United said that the ProStar partnership—with a range of offerings including HVAC optimization, patented IoT- and AI-powered controls and monitoring, energy procurement, and more—is the company’s latest like-minded collaboration, an important step towards its short-term revenue goal of $1 billion.
“We couldn’t be more excited to begin this partnership with ProStar, which shares our mission to make the places we live, work and play healthier,” Crete United CEO Mike Cox said in a statement. “ProStar’s energy efficiency services accelerate the Crete United platform by creating a unique set of offerings for our customers.”
Crete United said that ProStar serves as a strategic adviser to organizations of all sizes and sectors across the nation, offering data-backed energy efficiency solutions that, on average, lead to a 30% base load reduction.
ProStar serves many of the largest data centers in the nation, an energy-intensive building type. Its multi-patented building automation solutions—including eIQ, a web-based tool used to remotely monitor comfort and performance, and multi-patented Catalyst, a complete rooftop unit retrofit solution for HVAC systems—help building owners and facilities managers make informed decisions about their energy use, save money and make strides toward their sustainability goals, the companies said.
Crete United said it will establish a regional office at ProStar’s office location in Frisco and that Sudol will become Crete United’s President of Energy Efficiency.
