We are exclusively representing a premier, B2B-heavy commercial refrigeration and HVAC service provider with a 25+ year operating history in Western Massachusetts. This is an essential, highly resilient, non-discretionary service business delivering stable, verified cash flow from day one.
The company focuses heavily on high-margin refrigeration repair (90% of revenue mix) with a smaller footprint in traditional HVAC (10%).
The Strategic Moat & Team
* Labor Advantage: The business benefits from a severe regional shortage of licensed refrigeration mechanics, giving it exceptional pricing power.
* Key Staff Retention: A critical asset to this transaction is that the key licensed refrigeration technician(s) are expected to remain with the business post-sale, ensuring immediate operational continuity for the buyer.
* Deep Client Database: The acquisition includes a proprietary database of 1,600+ deep customer relationships, including long-term commercial accounts and regional operators who rely on the company for business-critical cold storage and cooling infrastructure.
Growth Levers for a Searcher
An energetic new operator can immediately scale the platform through:
1. Contractualizing Revenue: Transitioning the current break-fix client database into recurring preventative maintenance and recurring service contracts.
2. Capacity Expansion: Recruiting additional junior technicians to capture a massive backlog of unmet regional market demand.
3. HVAC Scaling: Leveraging the existing 1,600-client network to systematically upsell and expand the lighter HVAC arm of the business.
Transaction & Transition Structure
This is an orderly transition driven entirely by the founder’s planned retirement after a successful 25-year run. To ensure a seamless operational handoff and customer retention, the seller is offering a multi-month transition support period (terms negotiable).
The existing operating assets and turnkey infrastructure are included in the sale; physical real estate and the service truck fleet are available to be negotiated separately based on buyer preference.
