5 brokers with hvac specializations in Columbus, Ohio. Deal range: $500K–$3M · Multiple: 3–5× SDE
Ohio's four-season climate — with heating season running October through April and hot, humid summers driving air conditioning demand — creates year-round HVAC revenue. Columbus's expanding suburban corridors in Dublin and New Albany and Cincinnati's Mason–West Chester growth corridor are the most active HVAC acquisition markets, with PE platforms competing for operators who have built documented maintenance contract bases.
Why a HVAC Specialist Matters
HVAC businesses with strong recurring revenue command 4–5× SDE multiples. A broker who understands service contract transferability and technician retention can capture $200K+ in additional value compared to a generalist.
