Heating + Air Paramedics Meshes a Family-Owned Feel with Big-Name Support Structures

Heating + Air Paramedics, the HVAC franchise backed by multi-brand home services franchisor, Threshold Brands, has enjoyed over a decade of longevity thanks to its unique business model and ability to position itself favorably in the market. When founder Ryan Carpenter launched the business, he was looking to bring a new level of professionalism and personalization to an industry that, historically, had not provided great experiences to customers. With this, he quickly built a strong customer base and began to grow the model.

“When you work in a small town doing service work, you have to be honest and live up to your promises,” said Carpenter. “That philosophy remains at the core of our model, both in terms of how we service our customers and how we treat our franchise owners and their employees. We think of our franchise owners and our clientele as family, and in return, we’ve earned the kind of customer loyalty most brands only dream of.”

While the culture at the heart of the brand has been instrumental to its success, there have certainly been other factors that have propelled the brand to the level of success it has today.

Customer Care in a High-Demand Segment Encourages Repeat Revenue

Like many home services, HVAC services are something most homeowners are going to seek regardless of the economy or other extenuating circumstances. Maintaining heating and cooling systems and indoor air quality is important to the majority of homeowners, but being able to call in experts that they trust sweetens the experience for everyone.

Heating + Air Paramedics businesses are built on a foundation of trust and honesty, always doing what’s best for the customer rather than leveraging high-pressure sales tactics in an effort to drive revenue.

“It is a cultural expectation that we put the customer and their needs first. We are there to take care of their needs with quality products and technicians that can do the job right,” explained Carpenter. “We educate customers and treat them like a part of our family. We give them the background information necessary to understand their options and make the decision that makes sense for them.”

This model encourages customers to trust and feel confident in the support of Heating + Air Paramedics technicians, and the culture also supports franchise owners in hiring and retaining great talent.

“HVAC technicians did not get into the business to be salespeople,” added Carpenter. “They want to take care of people and their communities, and our franchise owners give them a platform to do that.”

With nearly 80 million owner-occupied homes in the U.S., all of which require HVAC service, there is a clear, consistent demand for HVAC services. The Heating + Air Paramedics platform positions franchise owners to address this demand, and with the culture of service baked throughout the system, owners can quickly build trust in their communities and encourage repeat revenue.

While the culture that is front-and-center in nearly everything Heating + Air Paramedics owners and teams do is certainly important, the internal support available to franchise owners ensures that they have the practical skills necessary to follow through in every situation.

Robust Training and Ongoing Support Prepares Owners to Make the Most of the Market

Just as Heating + Air Paramedics franchise owners treat their customers with care and respect, the franchise support team does the same for franchise owners. Prioritizing education and ongoing coaching , available when each individual owner needs it, encourages franchise owners to make the decisions they feel are right for their businesses.

“Our franchise owners go through a pretty intensive onboarding process with our onboarding manager where they interact with all of the vendors, set up their accounts, get to know the Heating + Air Paramedics team and really begin to embody the values that we have,” explained Carpenter. “The process culminates with them coming back to Noblesville to do a week of management training and get back out into the field with the techs and be a part of the hands-on training that happens there.”

Even after the initial onboarding process, Carpenter encourages franchise owners to visit the Noblesville headquarters whenever they need for more training, a refresher session or time for hands-on practice in the skills lab.

As a supplement to the Heating + Air Parameds headquarters and team, franchise owners also benefit from the brand’s relationship with its parent franchisor. With over 500 units nationwide, spanning multiple home services segments, Threshold Brands has teams of experts that can guide owners through marketing, leadership, recruiting, sales and more.

“Joining Threshold Brands took our franchise opportunity to the next level,” added Carpenter. “Now, not only do we have the resources of a much larger company, but we have an extensive network of franchise owners with different brands in markets across the country to share best practices with. And crucially, we can also share referrals. That means that our franchise owners own their own business, but they run them with the support of a vast, national multi-brand support system.”

With strong ideals and a practical application that allows for great follow-through, Heating + Air Paramedics ensures franchise owners feel supported in the franchisor-franchise owner relationship and are well equipped to operate their business in line with the ideal Heating + Air Paramedics model. It is this very culture and practical application that continues to set Heating + Air Paramedics apart in both the franchise and HVAC spaces, allowing individual owners and the larger system to continue its healthy growth and meaningful local service.
