This is a family‑owned commercial HVAC & Refrigeration contractor providing installation, maintenance, and repair for mission‑critical systems across Southern California, Greater Phoenix, and Greater Tucson. The company emphasizes transparent, non‑commission recommendations and fast‑response emergency service. Founded in the ‘90s, ownership began to pivot from residential to commercial about 2019.
Since then, they have a robust list of billed locations representing about multi-location brands/chains, many represented through several large and small IFM relationships. IFM contracts are awarded based upon performance and once awarded the business is presented to individual customers who hire and pay for the service - some directly, some through the IFM. Most contracts auto renew unless there is a performance issue which has not happened due to close monitoring of metrics. Revenue mix is approximately 90% PM (25% PM and 75% WFPM) and 10% installation. IFM (Integrated Facilities Management). No “new construction” since 2022.
Company margin performance is emphasized with focus on performance metrics (KPI’s) with IFM’s and National Brands are best in class with internal target >85% with achievement >80%. Most new business is generated from IFM performance-based contracts and word of mouth within multi-national chains. Though there has been no direct or social media marketing other than a new website, local B:B customers are also supported. The company expanded to Phoenix and Tucson, AZ late 2023 with about $1M revenue boost in 2025 largely due to the request of Southern CA customers with operations there. There is a significant amount of potential, but a careful growth and implementation strategy is very important to sustainable success. New territories take front ended capital, and about a year to build reputation and establish performance (KPI) results with payback typically within 10 months.
Expansion plans with current customers include SF Bay Area, CA, and Texas but so far, still growing in So. CA and AZ. As of the end of Feb 2026, the company employed +/- 24 techs (2FSMs), 7 office full-time W2 employees with a fleet of 25 (3 in reserve) configured service vehicles. New accounts in So. CA representing 2300 new "tickets"/$2M (historical annualized average) were rolled out in 2026.
Due to supplier relationships enduring 15-30 years with 16 primary suppliers and redundancy, the company consistently benefits from top-tier pricing incentives.

Buyers should not anticipate a highly leveraged deal structure though the seller is open to a small short term note and perhaps equity rollover. Be prepared with a majority down payment. SBA financing is not realistic for this business unless your don't need it, and have direct successful industry experience with CA licenses. SBA SOPs prohibit likely deal structure.
