Sell Your HVAC & Plumbing Business in Canada
HVAC and plumbing companies sell for higher multiples than almost any other trade because they have recurring service revenue, sticky customer relationships, and increasing PE and strategic buyer interest. We've helped HVAC owners across BC and Alberta sell to private equity, regional consolidators, and individual operators — usually at multiples of 3.5x–5x SDE for owner-operated and 5x–8x EBITDA for established companies with management depth.
Typical Seller's Discretionary Earnings (SDE) for this sector: $150K–$2M+

Industry-Specific Challenges We Handle
The deal-breakers we've seen — and how we address each one.
If you're the master tradesperson, the buyer is buying a job, not a business. Document, train, and transfer responsibility before listing.
Buyers underwrite based on customer retention. Build a 90% renewal rate and your multiple jumps from 3x to 5x+.
PE buyers structure key-employee retention with stay bonuses. Plan for this in advance.
