Hello
i am evaluating a HVAC business in Ohio focused on commercial space. I would like to discuss with people
working in this space or having made acquisition in this space. I am open to partner with other investors in a roll-up strategy.

As I am preparing my LOi I would like to discuss to someone about the following g
- competition for acquisition of small HVAC business and multiple for $0.5 Million EBITDA and some key-man risks
- long term trend for PE acquisition of HVAC
- differences between commercial Vs residential (Margin, models…)
- typical function and organization of HVAC teams (engineering, installation, maintenance, trucks…)
- typical synergies in roll-up
- any advice

A whole lot of competition for smaller HVAC companies from PE and from other searchers.

Check out their tools, integrations, and software. There can be significant differences between commercial and residential contractors.
