Quality Heating & Air-Conditioning Company, Inc. was pursuing a sale of substantially all its assets as of April 21, 2023, when the court approved the sale process. The next procedural steps contemplated by the Bidding Procedures Order Dkt. 86 were an auction and a sale hearing.

Quality Heating & Air-Conditioning Company, Inc. was pursuing a sale of substantially all its assets under the April 21, 2023 Bidding Procedures Order Dkt. 86. The order approved bidding procedures and bid protections, scheduled an auction and sale hearing, and established procedures for assuming and assigning contracts and leases. It authorized the sale process; approval of a sale remained a further step.

The HVAC and sheet metal contractor filed Chapter 11 on March 27, 2023. President Horace Adam Wahl, III attributed its financial distress to an expansion undertaken during negotiations for a potential business sale in 2018: the company secured approximately $10 million in new projects, but the prospective buyer withdrew, leaving it with unprofitable projects and significant losses. Pandemic-related increases in labor and raw material costs compounded those pressures, according to the First-Day Declaration Dkt. 3.

Operations were supported by court-authorized use of cash collateral. The April 18, 2023 Second Interim Cash Collateral Order Dkt. 76 authorized budgeted use through May 9, 2023, subject to conditions, with an aggregate variance allowance of up to 10% and reporting every two weeks. It also granted WSFS replacement liens in postpetition assets acquired using cash collateral, to the extent and priority of its prepetition liens. That interim liquidity framework supported continued operations while the debtor pursued the court-approved sale process.
