Acquire a rare, long-established SoCal commercial-focused HVAC service contractor with 30+ years of operating history, strong local reputation, and a built-in recurring service base. The business is primarily 80–90% commercial, supported by scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) cycles approximately every 3 months, which creates predictable workflow and repeat revenue without heavy marketing spend.

The current owner is semi-absentee, working half-days and primarily handling administrative oversight, and has intentionally cut smaller/low-priority accounts due to health and lifestyle goals. The owner did little to no advertising, did not expand to farther cities, and still maintained strong demand and recognition — making this an exceptional platform for a buyer who wants to add basic outreach and scale.

Importantly, the seller is committed to a smooth handoff and is willing to remain involved for up to five (5) months, a few hours per week, to introduce the buyer to key clients and help ensure a seamless transition of recurring maintenance accounts.
