Built for HVAC Professionals
Acquire HVAC exists because there's no good, free, HVAC-specific guide to buying an HVAC business. Generic small business acquisition advice misses the things that matter most in this industry: seasonal cash flow swings, equipment fleet depreciation, licensing complexities, and the reality of inheriting a team of technicians who may or may not stick around.
This resource was built for two audiences: HVAC technicians who've spent years mastering the trade and are ready to own the business, and existing HVAC operators who want to grow through acquisition rather than slow organic scaling. Every number, every checklist, every example on this site is HVAC-specific — not adapted from generic business advice.
WHAT WE COVER
Why This Resource Is Different
HVAC-Specific Guidance
Every checklist, every number, every example is specific to HVAC businesses. Not generic small business advice with HVAC wallpaper.
No Upsells, Ever
We're not a brokerage, lender, or consulting firm. This is a free resource. No email gates, no "schedule a call" buttons, no hidden agenda.
Real-World Numbers
Actual multiples, actual SBA requirements, actual deal structures from real HVAC transactions. Not theoretical frameworks.
Our Editorial Standards
Every piece of content on Acquire HVAC is researched against current industry data, SBA guidelines, and real transaction records. We reference actual HVAC businesses — real revenue figures, real multiples, real deal structures — not hypothetical "Company A" examples.
When regulations change, when SBA requirements shift, when market multiples move — we update. Content that isn't current isn't useful, and we'd rather remove a page than leave outdated advice live.
We also believe in transparency about what we don't know. HVAC acquisition is complex, and some questions don't have universal answers. When the right answer is "it depends on your state" or "talk to a CPA about this," we say that — rather than giving generic advice that sounds authoritative but could get you in trouble.
