Increasing the Value of Your HVAC or Plumbing Business starts with understanding that your company is worth far more than its annual revenue. Whether you're planning an exit, seeking financing, or building a legacy, maximizing business value requires a strategic approach.

Improved indoor air quality has become a game-changer for HVAC contractors looking to expand their services and boost revenue. With homeowners spending more time indoors than ever before, the demand for cleaner, healthier air is skyrocketing.

Benefits of HVAC Service Contracts deliver measurable value for contractors looking to stabilize revenue and strengthen customer relationships. Here's what the data shows:

Welcome back to JB Warranties Monthly Round-Up! After a well-deserved Labor Day weekend, we’re sliding into September: the unofficial sweet spot for AC tune-ups and getting heating systems primed for the chill. But while temperatures are starting to dip, industry headlines are still running hot. Before things get too busy, we’ll catch you up to speed.

For HVAC and plumbing business owners, great technicians are the backbone of your operation, but they alone don’t guarantee sustainable revenue. Winning in today’s competitive market requires more than just technical skill; it demands a repeatable, scalable sales framework. This system ensures every customer interaction—from the initial call to the final follow-up—is an opportunity to build trust, demonstrate value, and secure long-term profit. Without a structured process, you're leaving money on the table and relying on luck rather than strategy.

When a customer purchases a new air conditioning unit, they expect reliable performance. Yet, even the best HVAC systems can hit a snag — and that’s when AC coverage matters most. Unfortunately, most air conditioner warranty coverage is limited at best and non-existent at worst, which can lead to surprise parts and labor repair costs if something goes awry. 

An HVAC business exit strategy is your roadmap for leaving your company. A proactive plan helps you maximize your company's value, ensure a smooth transition, and protect the legacy you've built. After years of hard work, a well-planned exit secures your financial future.

July brought plenty of reasons to celebrate, from Air Conditioning Appreciation Day on the third and fireworks on the Fourth to a month-long spotlight on Smart Irrigation. With all that going on (and a packed service schedule to match), it’s no surprise if you didn’t have the time to catch every industry headline. Luckily, that’s what JB Warranties is here for. 

Hiring Veterans for Your Plumbing Business offers a strategic solution to one of the industry's most pressing challenges. The plumbing industry faces a critical workforce shortage, with a recent AGC/Autodesk survey finding that over 75% of construction companies reported difficulty filling positions. This challenge intensifies as an estimated 41% of the construction workforce is set to retire by 2031.

Misplaced tools, missing inventory, and messy records cost HVAC pros more than just time. Every lost part or forgotten piece of equipment can snowball into delayed jobs, frustrated technicians, and unhappy customers — all of which impact your reputation and, more importantly, your bottom line. While mental checklists and sticky notes may have worked back in the day, today’s operations demand a more proactive approach to run efficiently.
