You have spent years building an HVAC and mechanical business that Morgantown families and property managers call when the furnace quits in January or the AC fails in a humid July. Investera Holdings is a Michigan family-operated company that acquires service businesses like yours and keeps them running under new ownership. We are not brokers and not a passive fund; we are operators looking to buy one HVAC company in Monongalia County and steward it for the long haul.
Why Morgantown owners are thinking about selling now
Few trades are as recession-resistant in Morgantown as heating and cooling. The city sits in the north-central West Virginia hills where winters bring hard freezes and real snow off the Appalachians, and summers turn hot and sticky along the Monongahela River, so both the heat and the AC get pushed hard every year. Behind that weather is a deep base of demand: tens of thousands of student apartments and rentals tied to West Virginia University, residential growth in Suncrest and around Cheat Lake, aging housing stock downtown that needs system replacements, and light-commercial buildings that all rely on mechanical contractors. A company with maintenance agreements and a loyal repeat base here owns something genuinely durable.
But running an HVAC shop is relentless. Emergency calls do not respect nights or holidays, skilled technicians are hard to recruit and keep, and equipment, fuel, and truck costs keep climbing. Plenty of owners who built strong reputations across Morgantown are ready to slow down but do not want to see the business, or their techs’ jobs, disappear. Selling into a strong, weather-driven market is not giving up; it is passing a proven operation to a team that will invest in it. The work is not going anywhere in a climate like this. The real question is who runs the company next.
Who we buy in the Morgantown area
We are a hands-on family business, not a fund flipping deals. We buy a single company and add a professional management layer so it runs smoothly without relying on the owner in the truck. If your HVAC business looks like the following, let’s talk.
- Recurring revenue from service contracts, maintenance plans, or repeat commercial accounts
- Around $500K or more in annual revenue or SDE (close is fine)
- Licensed technicians and a lead or dispatcher who keeps jobs moving
- A trusted name for quality work across Morgantown and the county
- An owner ready for a clean handoff, whether staying on or stepping away
Not a perfect match on every point? Reach out anyway. We would rather understand a solid mechanical company in person than pass on it from a checklist.
What makes selling to Investera different
No broker fees. We purchase directly from you, so there is no sales commission or brokerage cut skimmed off your proceeds at the table.
A confidential process. Your technicians, your customers, and the other shops in town will not hear a word until you choose to tell them; we keep it private start to finish.
Creative deal structures. Whether you want full cash at closing, an earn-out, or to keep a hand in the business, we tailor terms to your goals rather than a rigid formula.
Operators, not a fund. We manage what we buy, applying lessons from running CT Cleaners and Optimal Facility Services; we are building a company to keep, not an asset to resell.
How the process works
The path forward is straightforward. It starts with a private phone call about your service base, your technicians, and what a good exit looks like for you. If there is mutual interest, we sign an NDA and walk through a few years of financials and a picture of your recurring accounts. Within a couple of weeks we can usually share a candid view of value and a deal structure. No cost, no commitment, just an honest conversation.
We will take care of what you built
When we buy an HVAC business, we protect the things that made it valuable: the maintenance agreements, the technicians customers ask for by name, and the reputation for showing up and fixing it right. We put a dedicated general manager and dependable systems in place for dispatch, scheduling, and parts so the operation no longer hinges on the owner answering every after-hours call. Your team keeps working, your customers keep their comfort, and the name you built in Morgantown keeps its standing. We succeed only by keeping the business healthy, so that is exactly what we set out to do.

Frequently asked questions
How much is my HVAC business worth in Morgantown?
It varies by company, but HVAC and mechanical businesses generally sell for roughly 2.5 to 4 times seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE). Strong maintenance-contract revenue, a licensed team that stays, and tidy financials move you toward the top of that range. Treat it as a general guide, not a promise; we give you a real number after a confidential review of your books.
Will my techs or customers know I’m thinking about selling?
No. Every discussion is confidential and covered by a mutual NDA before we see any numbers. Your technicians, clients, and competitors stay out of it until you decide otherwise.
Do I pay any broker or advisory fees?
None. We are the buyer, not a broker, so there are no commissions or listing fees on your end. You deal directly with the family that will own and operate the company.
Can I stay on after selling?
Absolutely, if that is what you want. Some owners help through a transition or keep a defined role; others hand over the keys and move on. We add a management layer either way, so the business runs without depending on you.
How quickly can a deal close?
With organized financials, many deals run from first conversation to closing in about 60 to 90 days. We are happy to speed it up or stretch it out to match your plans.
What areas around Morgantown do you buy in?
Throughout Monongalia County and nearby, including Star City, Westover, Granville, Cheat Lake, and Sabraton. If your service area centers on Morgantown, we want to hear from you.
