The Great Resignation is positively impacting the franchise industry as first-time franchisees take advantage of established operational models that they can leverage to run their own businesses. <a href="https://www.heatingairparamedics.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Heating + Air Paramedics</a>, the HVAC concept backed by multi-brand home services franchisor <a href="https://www.thresholdbrands.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Threshold Brands</a>, is helping pave the way for resignation-to-franchise owners.&nbsp;“People want control over their careers. They want to own something for themselves and Heating + Air Paramedics gives them that opportunity,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-carpenter-43900239/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Ryan Carpenter</a>, Heating + Air Paramedics’ brand president. “We have built an operating model that anyone can run with. The industry has changed over the past 15 years and we have developed a franchise model that reflects those changes. As a result, we’re seeing interest from independent HVAC business owners who want to convert to Heating + Air Paramedics to utilize our marketing model and resources.”For those interested in owning their own business, there’s never been a better time to join the home services industry. Over the past two years, the industry has not only weathered the pandemic but it has thrived, seeing a national <a href="https://www.verifiedmarketresearch.com/product/us-home-service-market/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965#:~:text=United%20States%20Home%20Service%20Market%20size%20was%20valued%20at%20USD,35.81%25%20from%202019%20to%202026." target="_blank" rel="nofollow">spike in demand for home services.</a>&nbsp;“Think back to the various waves of lockdowns we’ve experienced when businesses across the country were closed. Who has been out there, continuing to work? It’s home service workers: plumbers, HVAC —&nbsp;people providing essential services to those who need them while they remain at home,” said Carpenter.<h4>The Launching of the HVAC &amp; Plumbing Franchises</h4>Carpenter, much like the future franchise owners of the brand, has been involved in the heating industry for his entire life. Carpenter’s parents owned a small heating company in Michigan, and their customer-oriented work ethic inspired the core model of the franchise he runs today.“When you work in a small town doing service work, you have to be honest and live up to your promises. When I started working with other brands in the industry, I realized this wasn’t the norm. Most heating businesses are extremely sales-oriented. They are trying to sell customers as much as possible and both the quality of service and customer experience are afterthoughts.”&nbsp;In 2021, Carpenter teamed with Threshold Brands to launch two separate franchise concepts, Heating + Air Paramedics and <a href="https://www.theplumbingparamedicsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Plumbing Paramedics</a>. The brands join a growing stable of home-service franchises including <a href="https://www.maidprofranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MaidPro</a>, <a href="https://franchise.sirgrout.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sir Grout</a>, <a href="https://meninkiltsfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Men In Kilts</a>, <a href="https://usainsulation.net/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">USA Insulation</a>, <a href="https://www.pestmaster.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pestmaster Services</a> and <a href="https://flyfoe.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">FlyFoe</a>.&nbsp;<h4>Franchise Growth into Indiana, Tennessee and Beyond</h4>Now, less than three months later, Heating + Air Paramedics has welcomed two franchisees into its fast-growing network. With locations slated to open later this year, the franchisees will expand the brand’s footprint in its home state of Indiana while also marking its entrance into Tennessee.&nbsp;“Small HVAC companies aren’t what they used to be,” said Dave Carlile, new owner of Heating + Air Paramedics of Trafalgar, Indiana. “Google is the new phone book, and if you’re not heavily present there, you’re going to struggle. With the guidance from Heating + Air Paramedics, we get the support, marketing tools and presence that most larger companies have to set us up for success as we grow our franchise.”&nbsp;With the support and guidance of Threshold Brands, Carpenter is able to scale the business nationally while providing other local business owners with the chance to grow alongside the company. And it’s this support that has helped Heating + Air Paramedics expand its reach and resources at a critical time.“Heating + Air Paramedics and its sister brand, Plumbing Paramedics, offer the perfect complement to the six other home service brands within the Threshold Brands portfolio,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rscottsutton/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=heating-air-paramedics-signs-first-two-franchisees-focuses-in-on-industry-professionals-looking-to-go-from-employee-to-franchise-owner-2717965" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scott Sutton</a>, Threshold Brands’ chief growth officer. “As part of the Threshold Brands network, Heating + Air Paramedics franchisees have the opportunity to grow their footprint as multi-brand owners and cross-market their services to existing customers within their network.”&nbsp;With that support and a surge of interest from prospective franchisees, Heating + Air Paramedics is embarking on an ambitious growth plan in 2022. The brand is aiming to establish over a dozen locations by the end of the year, starting with development in midwestern states such as Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.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.
