Services / Sell Your HVAC Company
Sell your HVAC company to a buyer who counts maintenance agreements.
RockHaven Capital buys heating and air conditioning companies directly from their owners.
Maintenance agreements are the recurring heart of an HVAC company, so the agreement count is one of the first numbers we ask for.
Who We Buy From
The HVAC companies we buy
HVAC companies mix service calls, replacements, and agreement work in different proportions. The mix decides how steady the cash flow really is.
Seasonal peaks are normal in heating and air. We price the full year across both seasons rather than grading the company on its busiest month.
Residential service and replacement
Repair calls and system replacements for homeowners. A dispatch operation that runs without the owner is the key asset.
Maintenance agreement programs
Tune-up and service agreements that renew each year. Agreements smooth the seasons and bring replacements to your door first.
Commercial HVAC service
Service contracts for offices, retail, and light industrial sites. Contracted commercial work reads as the steadiest revenue in the trade.
Install and construction work
New construction and retrofit installs alongside a service base. We value installs most when service revenue stands underneath them.

Five things we check first
An HVAC company proves its cash flow through its agreement base and its service records. These five checks show us what repeats and who runs it.
-
Revenue of $1M to $10M a year
That is the size range we buy. A company in that range runs several trucks and a real dispatch board.
-
Cash flow of $300K and up
It has to read clearly in the tax returns. We read a full year so both the heating and cooling seasons count.
-
Maintenance agreements that renew
Agreements are the revenue a buyer can plan around. We look at the count, the renewal rate, and how long members stay.
-
Technicians who run their own calls
Techs should diagnose and sell repairs without you riding along. A lead tech or service manager who runs the board carries real value.
-
The license, handled in the open
HVAC work runs under a company license held by a qualifier of record. When the qualifier stays under a written agreement, the license carries through the sale and the deal stays workable. We settle who holds it on the first calls, before price.

Why Owners Talk To Us
A direct buyer changes the conversation
HVAC owners hear from national consolidators constantly. Here is what changes when you deal with the buyer directly instead.
-
We are the buyer, not a broker
You negotiate once with the firm that would own your company. Your agreement base is not marketed to the consolidators calling your office.
One conversation with the buyer, not a parade of strangers through your business. -
Your technicians stay on their routes
Licensed techs are scarce, and your customers call for them by name. In most cases your team keeps its roles after a sale.
In most cases, the people who helped you build it keep their jobs. -
The qualifier plan comes first
We confirm who holds the license and how it continues before numbers are discussed. That order protects both sides from a late collapse.
The hard questions come first, in the open. -
Agreements priced as the base
We value the renewal base rather than one hot summer. You hear how the agreement count moved the number.

The listed route, by the numbers
Listing an HVAC company puts your agreement base in front of the consolidators for months. These figures are that route, in numbers.
