The problem it solves
Many HVAC companies lack the manpower or expertise to clean coils, leading to inefficiencies and costly repairs; existing solutions are often subpar or neglected due to labor shortages.
How it makes money
Service-based business with recurring contracts.
Skills you need
Knowledge of HVAC systems, power washing techniques, and sales; experience in commercial service contracts is a plus.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of energy efficiency regulations for commercial buildings is increasing demand for proper HVAC maintenance, including coil cleaning. Target local HVAC contractors through community boards on platforms like Nextdoor to establish initial contracts and generate revenue. A significant risk is the labor intensity required for power washing, which may necessitate hiring skilled workers and investing in equipment upfront, impacting cash flow during the initial growth phase.
