Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that buys HVAC and mechanical contracting businesses in El Paso and keeps them running. We’re operators and buyers — not a broker, and not a passive fund. The moment we acquire a company, we bring in proven systems and a professional management layer: a dedicated general manager and a put-in-charge team who run dispatch, technicians, and customer accounts so the business no longer lives or dies by the founder’s phone. Our own companies, CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, are proof that we operate what we buy for the long haul.
Why El Paso owners are thinking about selling now
Few places make an HVAC company as essential as El Paso. Summers here run deep into the triple digits under a relentless Chihuahuan Desert sun, and the long-running shift from evaporative ‘swamp’ coolers to refrigerated air keeps installers and service techs booked — especially once the July and August monsoon humidity rolls in and swamp coolers stop keeping up. Rooftop units bake on the warehouses and big-box stores along the Eastside and I-10, Fort Bliss and the hospital systems run enormous mechanical loads, and even El Paso’s occasional hard winter freeze sends furnace and heat-pump calls surging. Demand doesn’t take a season off.
That’s why the timing can be right to sell. Refrigerated-air conversions across the Westside, the Far East, and older Central and Lower Valley homes have created more work than many shops can staff, and finding EPA-certified techs is harder every year. Plenty of owners who built their business one service call at a time are ready to hand off the truck-chasing and the on-call nights — without shutting down a company their customers depend on. A sale to an operator who keeps the crew and the brand can be the cleanest way out.
Who we buy in the El Paso area
We’re not trying to buy every one-truck operation. We’re looking for HVAC and mechanical companies with real fundamentals:
- Recurring service agreements or maintenance contracts, not just install jobs
- Around $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close counts)
- Licensed techs and a lead who can run calls without you
- A trusted name among El Paso homeowners or property managers
- An owner ready for a clean handoff — or a period staying on
If that describes your shop, let’s have a quiet conversation — even if you’re just starting to think about it. You’ll learn your options and a genuine sense of what the business is worth.
What makes selling to Investera different
Zero broker fees. You talk straight with the family that will own and run your HVAC company — no listing agent, no commission, nothing shaved off what you walk away with.
Strict confidentiality. Your techs, your customers, and the other shops around town learn nothing until you choose to tell them; every discussion happens under NDA.
Flexible deal structures. We can shape terms with cash at close, a seller note, an earn-out, or a staged transition — built around your goals, not a rigid formula.
We’re operators, not a fund. No flipping, no gutting, no piling on debt. We put a general manager in place, keep your reputation whole, and run the company for years.
How the process works
We begin with a relaxed call about your service base, your technicians, and what you want life to look like after a sale. If it clicks, we sign an NDA, look over a couple of years of financials and your service-agreement list, and give you a clear valuation range. Diligence stays discreet, and we set the pace to your comfort — often a few weeks to a few months from that first conversation to close.
We will take care of what you built
After closing, your technicians keep their trucks and your dispatcher keeps their seat. We layer in our systems — scheduling, maintenance-agreement renewals, parts and inventory, and customer follow-up — and put a dedicated general manager over the day-to-day so calls get answered and jobs get done right. The homeowners and facility managers who count on your company through El Paso’s brutal summers keep getting the same reliable service, under a name that still means something in town.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my HVAC business worth in El Paso?
Most solid HVAC and mechanical companies sell in a range of about 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings). The exact figure depends on your mix of service agreements versus one-off installs, customer concentration, technician retention, and margins. Treat it as a typical range rather than a promise — we’ll go through the numbers with you openly and confidentially.
Will my sale stay confidential?
Completely. We work under NDA, so your technicians, your customers, and rival shops hear nothing until you’re ready. Protecting your privacy is part of how we do every deal.
Do you charge any fees or commissions?
No. You deal directly with Investera Holdings, the family that will own the business. There’s no broker in the middle and no commission carved out of your proceeds.
Can I keep working after I sell?
If you want to. Some owners hand over the keys and walk; others stay on through a transition or in an advisory role. Either way we install a general manager so the company runs without depending on you.
How long does the process take?
Usually somewhere between a few weeks and a few months, depending on the business. We follow your timeline and won’t pressure you toward a deadline.
What areas around El Paso do you buy in?
The whole region — Socorro, Horizon City, San Elizario, Canutillo, and Fabens included, along with the rest of El Paso County. Wherever your service area sits, we’d like to talk.
