The HVAC business brokerage firm reports a sharp rise in buyer inquiries and completed sales in 2026, helping owners sell faster and at stronger prices.
Horseshoe Beach, FL (PRUnderground) June 23rd, 2026
Business Modification Group, a brokerage that specializes entirely in the sale of heating and air businesses, reports a marked increase in buyer activity across the HVAC market in 2026. The rising demand is helping owners sell their companies faster, and in many cases at stronger prices than in years past. As a firm led by a former HVAC business owner, Business Modification Group tracks buyer behavior closely and views the current market as one of the most active in recent memory.
The firm has tracked a clear jump in buyer interest this year. Through the first half of 2026, Business Modification Group has received more than 3,023 requests for information on its for-sale listings, compared with about 2,400 over the same period last year. “We’re seeing more interested buyers than at any point I can remember,” said Patrick Lange, President of Business Modification Group. “When more qualified buyers come to the table, owners get more competition for their company, and that usually means a better deal.”
Several factors appear to be fueling the demand. Interest in the skilled trades has grown, with national programs promoting them as a solid path for new owners. Economic uncertainty has pushed more people toward self-employment rather than depending on an employer for their future, and the pandemic showed how resilient heating and air companies can be while other industries struggled. As more buyers compete for established companies, the value of a well-run business has climbed, and many owners are taking a fresh look at what their heating and air business is worth in the current market.
Completed sales tell the same story. Through the first six months of the year, the company has sold 18 heating and air businesses, putting it on pace to pass the 26 it closed in all of last year. Last week, the brokerage closed its 168th heating and air company since it began tracking results six years ago. “Selling a heating and air business used to take longer and draw fewer offers,” Lange added. “Right now, good companies are moving quickly, and the owners who built them are getting rewarded for the years of work they put in.”
An aging base of HVAC owners is adding to the activity. Many built their companies over decades and are now reaching retirement, and the strong buyer pool is giving them a reason to act. With a database of pre-qualified buyers and a focus only on heating and air, Business Modification Group helps owners who are looking to sell their HVAC businesses connect with serious, vetted buyers. Founder Patrick Lange sold his own HVAC company before starting the firm, and he stays personally involved in every transaction.
