HVAC Business Sales
Sell Your HVAC Business for Maximum Value
HVAC companies with recurring service agreements and a trained technician workforce are among the most sought-after acquisitions in home services. I help HVAC owners navigate the sale process, find the right buyer, and close at the best possible price.
Market Opportunity
Why Now Is the Right Time to Sell
Private equity firms and strategic consolidators are aggressively acquiring HVAC businesses right now. The fragmented nature of the industry, combined with aging homeowner infrastructure and growing demand for energy-efficient systems, has created a seller's market. Interest rates have stabilized, SBA lending is flowing, and buyer multiples remain near all-time highs. Owners who have built a strong service agreement base and a team that can operate without them are positioned to command premium valuations. Waiting risks a market correction or increased competition from roll-up platforms that continue to expand.
