About this opportunity

Strong Demand | Significant Growth Upside

This well-established HVAC and refrigeration business has been operating successfully since 1986 and is known for its reliability, quality workmanship, and excellent customer reputation. The company provides installation, repair, replacement, and emergency maintenance services, with steady year-over-year growth and more demand than the current owner can fulfill.

The business is currently owner-operated, creating an outstanding opportunity for a motivated buyer to scale operations by adding technicians and capturing substantial unmet demand.

Business Highlights:

  • Over 35 years of operating history in HVAC installation, service, repair, replacement, and emergency maintenance
  • Strong online presence with a professional website
  • Two experienced 1099 technicians expected to remain with the business under new ownership
  • Sale includes approximately $450,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment, allowing a buyer to hit the ground running:• 2024 Sprinter van fully outfitted with shelving
  • Hand tools, parts, and operational equipment
  • Approximately $50,000 in inventory
  • Consistent backlog with 12 active projects already scheduled for the remainder of the year
  • Established client base of approximately 400–500 customers
  • Majority of work consists of high-margin service calls and system replacements
  • Strong partnership with a major utility provider generating steady, high-volume work:• Average job size of approximately $7,000
  • Roughly three jobs per week, with potential for additional territory expansion
  • Primarily residential work, including mobile homes—an underserved niche where competition is minimal and demand is strong
  • Excellent reputation with loyal customers who are willing to wait for availability due to trust in the service provided
  • Jobs are regularly declined due to limited bandwidth, presenting immediate upside for expansion
  • Proven year-over-year growth with significant scalability for a buyer ready to hire and manage additional staff

Transition & Growth Opportunity:

The current owner is willing to provide training and transition support and can remain on as a consultant for up to six months if desired. With additional technicians and operational capacity, the business could substantially increase revenue, expand service territory, and fully leverage its utility partnership.

This is an ideal acquisition for a younger owner-operator or an existing HVAC company looking to add a profitable operation with strong demand, established systems, and exceptional growth potential already built in.
