Heating + Air Paramedics Taps Into an Already-hot Home Services Market

Heating + Air Paramedics, the HVAC concept under the Threshold Brands umbrella, is working to scale quickly, seeking franchisees to bring the family-business culture into HVAC markets across the country. Heating + Air Paramedics is, above all else, a founder-led business that is invested in seeing its franchisees succeed. However, with the backing of Threshold Brands and the network of home services franchisees associated with the multi-brand franchisor, potential Heating + Air Paramedics owners have even more support.

“Heating + Air Paramedics and its sister brand, Plumbing Paramedics, offer the perfect complement to the other home service brands within the Threshold Brands portfolio,” said R. Scott Sutton, Threshold Brands’ chief growth officer. “As part of the Threshold Brands network, Heating + Air Paramedics franchisees have the opportunity to grow their footprint as multi-brand owners and cross-market their services to existing customers within their network.”

While the business opportunities that a Heating + Air Paramedics business offers are undoubtedly attractive, the brand also prides itself on a strong company culture. Though it has grown to become a franchise brand, Heating + Air Paramedics was originally a family business, founded in 2011. As it has scaled, it has maintained these close-knit family values.

Franchise owners are still treated like family, and a similar relationship is encouraged between franchisees and their clients as well.

The total initial investment to open a Heating + Air Paramedics business is between $105,250 and $205,800, including a $40,000 franchise fee that gives new franchisees access to the training, equipment and marketing support that they will need to succeed in their new territory.

HVAC businesses are categorized as a part of the home services industry, a proven recession-resistant market that is continually growing. As more and more people work either hybrid or fully remote schedules, spending extra time in their homes, the need for home services has become more recognizable and often more urgent. Investing in a franchise opportunity that addresses an issue many individuals would see as non-negotiable — a comfortable, functional home — provides a level of stability that franchises in other industries cannot.

Further, because Heating + Air Paramedics provides a turnkey business model that does not even require a brick-and-mortar retail area, most franchisees are able to start taking customers within three months of signing. The brief startup period and constant demand allows franchisees to get their business started earlier, bring in profits more quickly and work to build long-lasting relationships with a broad customer network even sooner.

Heating + Air Paramedics seeks potential franchise owners with experience in marketing, sales and/or heating and air conditioning fields. Owners who are driven to achieve their dreams and interested in supporting their communities often have what it takes to succeed as a franchisee.

“As we grow, we are looking for franchise partners who are passionate, talented and align with our values,” said Ryan Carpenter, Heating + Air Paramedics’ brand president. “We’re not interested in deep pockets. We’ve always been adamant about providing an opportunity for small business owners to grow, and that’s reflected in every part of our operations, starting with our low investment costs.”

The brand is also excited to speak with current business owners interested in conversion opportunities.

Heating + Air Paramedics is looking to expand broadly in markets nationwide, especially Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
