Despite 2020 being a tough year for many businesses to stay open, HHO Carbon Clean Systems launched in the midst of the craziness. It’s an eco-friendly, Illinois-based brand that is committed to reducing carbon emissions while safely cleaning carbon buildup from engines. A recent Franchise Times article shares more about how the brand got its start.

The brand’s founder, Jared English, worked in the automotive industry after graduating from college. He went on to open his own repair shop at 23 years old. He witnessed the negative impacts of carbon buildup throughout his entire professional career.

“The old way of doing carbon cleaning was using harsh chemicals, stuff that burns your hands and is bad for the environment,” English told Franchise Times. “So my main goal during the pandemic when I had down time was to think about an eco-friendly way to handle this problem, which led me down the road of hydrogen cleaning systems.”

English looked at Australia and the United Kingdom as prime examples of countries that have stricter emission regulations. He learned there was a clean energy solution that uses hydrogen to release carbon. Since no one in the U.S. was following this method, it became English’s sweet spot and passion.

As he was getting started, he offered free services to some customers and the business took off from there. English decided to franchise the company right away, and he even signed his first franchisee before the end of the year. Looking ahead, he plans on signing 10 franchisees by 2022.

The initial investment for an HHO Carbon Clean Systems franchise ranges from $80,700 to $131,600.
