Investera Holdings is a family-operated buyer that acquires HVAC and mechanical contracting companies and keeps them running for the long haul. We are not brokers listing your company, and we are not a private-equity fund looking for a quick exit. We are operators who install strong systems and a professional management layer, so once we own your Jacksonville mechanical business, the service calls, install crews, and maintenance agreements keep moving whether or not you are on the truck or in the office. If you have built steady commercial or residential HVAC work across Duval County, we would like to carry it forward.
Why Jacksonville owners are thinking about selling now
Few markets need heating and cooling like Jacksonville does. Summers here are long, humid, and unrelenting, which keeps air conditioning running hard from spring well into fall and makes reliable service a year-round expectation rather than a seasonal spike. The region’s growth compounds that demand: new rooftops across the Southside, Baymeadows, and the Westside near Cecil Commerce Center, expanding distribution and cold-storage space around JAXPORT, and steady commercial build-out along the Butler Boulevard corridor all translate into equipment that has to be installed, maintained, and eventually replaced.
Coastal conditions add another layer. Salt air out toward Mayport, the Beaches, and the Intracoastal accelerates corrosion on condensing units and shortens equipment life, driving a healthy replacement cycle. Hurricane season brings its own surge of inspections, repairs, and emergency calls. At the same time, many established Jacksonville HVAC owners are aging out while skilled techs stay hard to hire, so a company with recurring maintenance agreements and a trained crew has real, defensible value that deserves a careful owner rather than a fire sale.
Who we buy in the Jacksonville area
We are interested in established HVAC and mechanical contracting businesses in and around Jacksonville that run on repeat work and service agreements. The best fits tend to look like this.
- Recurring maintenance agreements or repeat commercial service work
- Roughly $500K+ in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Licensed, capable techs and a lead who can run jobs
- A trusted name with local GCs, property managers, or homeowners
- An owner ready for a clean handoff or a role staying on
If that describes your company, it is worth a conversation even if a sale is still just an idea. A first call decides nothing and comes with no pressure or obligation.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. There is no listing agent between us and no commission skimmed off your check. You negotiate straight with the family that will own and run the company after closing.
A confidential process. We keep a possible sale quiet so your techs stay focused and your competitors stay in the dark. Discussions happen under NDA and on your terms.
Creative deal structures. Cash at close, an earn-out, a seller note, or a phased transition are all on the table. We fit the terms to your goals rather than the other way around.
Operators, not a fund. Our family already runs hands-on service companies, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services. We acquire businesses to own and operate for years, not to package and resell.
How the process works
Getting started is simple and pressure-free. A first call lets us learn how your business runs and what matters to you; a mutual NDA then opens the door to a look at your financials and service agreements. We follow with a clear, no-obligation offer, and if the numbers and fit feel right, we move into diligence and a transition plan set to your calendar. With no broker relay and no outside investment committee, decisions come from us directly and you get straight answers fast.
We will take care of what you built
After closing, we protect what makes your company work. A dedicated general manager and dispatch and maintenance systems take over the day-to-day so the schedule, callbacks, parts, and billing do not hinge on you. Your reputation with Jacksonville customers, your license structure, and your techs’ jobs stay in place, and your maintenance base keeps getting the responsive service that earned it. We build on the foundation you laid instead of tearing it down.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my HVAC business worth in Jacksonville?
Most solid HVAC and mechanical companies sell in a range of about 2.5x to 4x SDE, with your recurring maintenance base, service margins, fleet condition, and crew depth deciding where you land inside it. Treat that as a typical range and not a promise. A confidential review of your books is the only way to pin down a real figure, and we are happy to do that with you.
Is the process kept private?
Completely. We know rumors of a sale can rattle techs and tip off rivals, so we hold conversations under a mutual NDA, involve only essential people, and leave your customers and staff undisturbed until you decide the time is right.
Are there fees I have to cover?
None on our side. We purchase directly, so you owe no brokerage commission or advisory success fee. The price we settle on is what flows to your side of the table, not something a middleman takes a cut of first.
Can I keep working after selling?
Absolutely, if that appeals to you. Owners sometimes retire the day we close and others stay on to lead the transition or simply keep doing the parts of the job they love. We shape the role around your wishes.
What is the typical timeline to close?
For most deals it runs from a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on how organized your records are and how quickly we both want to move. We can accelerate when there is a reason to, and we will never push you faster than you are comfortable.
What areas around Jacksonville do you buy in?
The whole Duval County footprint and the towns around it, from Orange Park and Middleburg to Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, St Augustine, and Fernandina Beach. If you serve the greater Jacksonville market, your company is in our range.
