Niche Commercial HVAC in NYC with High Recurring Revenue
Asset Sale Description
This business is a premier provider of cooling-tower and water-treatment services for commercial and institutional buildings across the New York City metro area. 100% of the revenue is commercial, with absolutely no new construction revenue and virtually all revenue coming from repairs and maintenance work. A very high percentage of the revenue is recurring.
The current owner is working 100% remote and it looking to sell the business to spend more time with the family and pursue real estate investments. Although he wants to sell the company, he is committed to ensuring a smooth transition period of 12 months.
With a 20+ year legacy operating under the same name, the company has become a trusted partner to top-tier property-management firms and mechanical contractors, delivering essential, high-margin services that ensure regulatory compliance, operational uptime, and tenant comfort. It’s important to note that although the company name has been in operation for over 20 years, there was a 6 year period during which the company name wasn’t used and the entity being sold right now has only been re-established as of March 2025.
The company operates in a highly fragmented yet high-barrier market where reputation, responsiveness, and relationships drive purchasing decisions, making this business a compelling acquisition target for private-equity investors or strategic HVAC consolidators seeking regional expansion.
