Service Experts has officially introduced a nationwide HVAC franchising program designed to help experienced home services entrepreneurs scale their businesses with the strength of a proven national brand. The new franchise model creates a growth pathway for locally owned HVAC companies seeking operational support, brand recognition, and long-term scalability in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
With nearly 30 years of experience in residential heating and cooling, Service Experts has built one of the largest home services networks in the United States. Supported by more than 3,000 professionals, the company serves thousands of residential and commercial customers every day, delivering essential services that include heating, air conditioning, indoor air quality solutions, plumbing, electrical, and other critical home services.
Meeting Rising Demand in a Growing Industry
As climate trends drive increased reliance on heating and cooling systems, demand for reliable HVAC service continues to rise nationwide. Service Experts’ franchise expansion is strategically positioned to meet this demand by enabling qualified owners to enter new markets faster while benefiting from established systems and operational expertise.
Through franchising, Service Experts is extending its footprint beyond corporate-owned locations and opening doors for local operators who want to grow without starting from scratch. Franchise owners gain access to time-tested processes, technology, and resources developed over decades of successful operation.
Leadership Focused on Franchise Growth
To lead the brand’s franchise development efforts, Service Experts appointed Nick Ridgway as Vice President of Franchise Development. A Certified Franchise Executive, Ridgway brings extensive experience building franchise systems across North America, with a track record of supporting hundreds of franchise launches in competitive service industries.
“Our goal is to help franchise owners succeed from day one,” said Ridgway. “That’s why we’re investing in advanced training solutions, including a mobile training unit that delivers hands-on education directly in the field. Franchisees can also offer the Service Experts Advantage Program, giving homeowners access to high-efficiency equipment, maintenance, and repairs through one predictable monthly payment.”
Built on Proven Systems and National Support
Service Experts’ franchise model is backed by a robust infrastructure designed to support sustainable growth. Franchise owners benefit from:
A recognized national HVAC brand
Access to preferred supplier and purchasing programs
Integrated marketing and lead-generation systems
Established operational processes
Ongoing, industry-leading training and support
According to Matthew Lefler, Vice President of Franchise Operations, the franchise program is an extension of what has made Service Experts successful for decades.
“Service Experts has earned customer trust through consistent service and strong operational standards,” said Lefler. “Franchising allows more local owners to leverage those systems while continuing to serve their communities with the highest level of care.”
Expanding Opportunities for Local HVAC Entrepreneurs
Service Experts currently operates a broad national network of service centers across 31 states, providing franchisees with the advantage of scale while maintaining local ownership and leadership. In today’s environment, where rising costs and increased competition challenge independent operators, the Service Experts franchise model offers a powerful solution for growth and long-term value creation.
The launch of the franchise program follows the successful transition of the Tulsa, Oklahoma location into the brand’s first locally owned franchise, signaling strong momentum for expansion nationwide.
A Trusted Brand With a 30-Year Legacy
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Richardson, Texas, Service Experts has served millions of homes over nearly three decades. With approximately 80 locations nationwide, the company continues to build on its mission of delivering reliable home services while creating meaningful opportunities for entrepreneurs through franchising.
