Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated buyer that acquires HVAC and mechanical contracting companies in Manchester, NH and keeps them running for the long term. We are not a broker, and we are not a passive fund parking money. We buy a single business, put strong operating systems and a professional management layer behind it, and run it. If you have spent decades building a loyal customer base, a trained field crew, and a name Manchester homeowners and building managers trust, we want to carry that forward, not strip it for parts.
Why Manchester owners are thinking about selling now
Manchester sits in a climate that keeps HVAC and mechanical work busy in every season. Winters are long and genuinely cold, with heavy snow and stretches well below freezing, which means furnaces, boilers, and heat pumps get pushed hard for months. Then humid New England summers turn around and load up the cooling side. That four-season swing produces exactly the kind of steady service, maintenance-agreement, and replacement demand that makes a mechanical business durable, and it is a big reason this market rewards companies with real recurring revenue.
The building stock adds another layer. The Amoskeag Millyard’s converted mills, the older triple-deckers and North End homes, and newer construction out toward Bedford and the South Willow corridor all need different mechanical solutions, from steam and hydronic retrofits to modern high-efficiency and ductless systems. Institutions like Elliot Health System, Catholic Medical Center, and SNHU keep commercial mechanical demand steady year-round. Many established Manchester HVAC owners are now reaching the point where they want to slow down but do not want to hand their techs and customers to a national roll-up that treats them like a spreadsheet line. That is where we come in.
Who we buy in the Manchester area
We are a strong fit for established Manchester HVAC and mechanical owners who care about what happens to their crew and customers. The best fits usually share these traits:
- Recurring revenue from service agreements or repeat maintenance
- Roughly $500K+ in revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Skilled, licensed techs and a capable field lead
- A solid reputation across the Manchester area
- An owner open to a clean handoff or staying on short term
If that describes your company, it is worth a conversation, even if you are only starting to think about the next chapter. Talking early gives us both more room to build the right deal.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees, ever. We buy directly, so none of your proceeds disappear into a brokerage commission and you are not stuck waiting on a listing to draw serious buyers.
A confidential process from day one. Your techs, your Manchester customers, and your competitors do not learn anything until you decide the moment is right.
Creative deal structures that fit you. A full exit, a seller note, or a phased transition where you stay licensed for a stretch, we build terms around your goals.
Operators, not a fund. We own and run service businesses ourselves, including CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services, so field labor, dispatch, and margins are not abstractions to us.
How the process works
It starts with a short, confidential call about your service mix, your team, and what you want from a sale. If there is a fit, we sign a mutual NDA and review the essentials: revenue, the split between service and installs, maintenance-agreement counts, and how the shop runs day to day. Then we bring you a clear, no-pressure offer. Because we are the buyer and not a middleman, your business never gets listed or shopped around Manchester, and you are not fielding calls from unqualified prospects who just want to poke around.
We will take care of what you built
After closing, our priority is stability. We add proven systems for dispatch, maintenance renewals, and quality control, and we install a dedicated general manager and put-in-charge team so the company no longer depends on the owner being on every call. Your customers keep the same trucks and the same reliable service, your techs keep steady work with real support, and the reputation you built in Manchester stays intact. We plan to be servicing the same neighborhoods and buildings many winters from now.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my HVAC business worth in Manchester?
Well-run mechanical companies typically trade around 2.5 to 4 times SDE (seller’s discretionary earnings), influenced by your service-to-install ratio, maintenance-agreement base, and how independently the business operates. That is a normal range, not a promise. Share your numbers and we will give you an honest, specific read.
Will you keep our discussions confidential?
Absolutely. We treat confidentiality as the starting point, sign a mutual NDA early, and keep everything private from your techs, customers, and competitors until you choose otherwise. Leaks damage businesses, so we guard the process closely.
Are there any broker or listing fees?
None. We are the direct buyer, so there are no brokerage commissions or listing costs pulled from your proceeds. Selling to an operator instead of going through the open market keeps more of the value with you.
Can I stay involved after selling?
You are welcome to, but it is optional. Some owners stay on to transition licenses, vendor relationships, and key accounts; others prefer a clean exit. We put a general manager and support team in place regardless, so the company stands on its own.
What is the typical timeline to close?
Most straightforward deals run from first conversation to closing in roughly 60 to 90 days, depending on your records and the structure. We are happy to move faster or slower to fit your plans.
What areas around Manchester do you buy in?
We consider HVAC and mechanical businesses throughout the Manchester region, including Nashua, Concord, Bedford, and Derry, plus the surrounding Hillsborough County communities. If you serve that area, let us talk.
