Heating + Air Paramedics Sets Its Sights on Columbus, Ohio for Franchise Growth

Heating + Air Paramedics, the emerging HVAC service concept backed by multi-brand home services franchisor Threshold Brands has identified Columbus, Ohio as a prime market for franchise expansion. With capacity for eight locations in the area, President of Startup Brands Ryan Carpenter says he is excited to bring Heating + Air Paramedics’ unique customer experience to the local community, and owners who establish businesses in the area will be relatively close to the founding store.

“Franchise owners who open in Columbus will have an attractive proximity to our founding store in Indianapolis, Indiana,” Carpenter said. “It’s about two hours away, so franchisees will be able to come to the corporate headquarters very easily should they need some additional training or in-person support.”

While Heating + Air Paramedics welcomes new franchise owners to the network, Carpenter notes that converting to the model can be a game-changer for individuals with an established small business. By joining the Heating + Air Paramedics team, owners maintain control of everyday operations while gaining the expertise and support of the franchisor. Business owners in neighborhoods outside of the city of Columbus, like Westerville, Dublin, and Grove City, are also encouraged to explore ownership with Heating + Air Paramedics.

“When we convert an existing business, we bring the owners to the next level. We have the financial expertise to run the business in a profitable way, and we bring the buying power of a national company for equipment and materials,” he added. “Marketing support is another really big benefit. From marketing to operations and understanding the finances of the business, we allow owners to continue to be 100% owners of their business while helping them to scale and run their business in a stronger way. They’re able to be in business for themselves but not by themselves.”

The Columbus area has been steadily growing over the course of the past decade, and its strong population base presents a great opportunity for owners who are interested in entering the market. As a founder-led brand, Heating + Air Paramedics also provides key differentiators to both franchisees and their customers. Staying true to its purpose, the entire Heating + Air Paramedics network maintains an emphasis on a great customer experience and prioritizes customers’ best interests.

“It brings a really large value to be able to serve your community in an essential on-demand business, and the timing could not be more perfect for people who are entrepreneurs or those looking to convert an existing business into a Heating + Air Paramedics,” Carpenter added.

The total initial investment to open a Heating + Air Paramedics is between $105,240 and $205,800 and includes a $40,000 fee that must be paid to the franchisor. For more information about Heating + Air Paramedics, visit https://www.heatingairparamedics.com/.
