"Air Conditioner Repair Business": How to Get Started

---

Air Conditioners have become a significant part of our lives, both for residential and professional use. And due to this fact, the demands for regular service maintenance are very steady now.

Starting an air conditioner service business can be very viable, due to its ability to withstand its ups and downs.

To start, you can either be an experienced technician looking to start an independent business or a businessman who wants to hire several technicians to manage and market the business. Both ideas are promising in their own way and can turn into a sustainable business in the long run.

Interested to start this business? Here are a few tips to help you get started:

---

1. Startup Investment
Your startup investment will mostly go to repair equipment and transportation means. If you already got a reliable vehicle, you can certainly utilize it. The equipment required is relatively affordable, and you can always look for second-hand equipment as an option. If you're considering buying second-hand equipment, make sure you do enough research and comparison to make sure that it's still in good condition. Most likely you won't need office space, but if you do, the rent cost can vary depending on your location. You can safely start with around $3,000-$10,000.

2. Franchising
Getting a franchise license (on www.incorporate.com/blog/start-a-franchise) is a viable option, with many established air conditioner service franchises available. It can help you with your credibility and customer base, saving you a lot of time and effort. However, getting a franchise license can be costly, and can range from $10,000 to $100,000 depending on sizes and brands. If you are considering a franchise option, make sure to do enough research and calculate whether the cost can be justified.

3. Marketing
Make brochure with your package and rates, and spread it to residential and commercial venues. It's an age-old marketing technique that's still proven to work for these kinds of businesses. Maintain good relationships with existing clients because in this business you will make lots of repeated orders and you will depend on the reviews and recommendations that you will get by your clients.

4. Certification
Some states will require certification for this business. If you're not an experienced technician, simply hire or partner up with a certified technician. Even in states where certification is not a necessity, getting one will be a good idea to increase your credibility and marketability. Consult your local authority to get better information regarding the required license, permit, and certification.

As you'll be dealing with other people's air conditioners, getting insurance might be a good idea. In some locations, insurance will also be a necessity. Research your options for third-party liability insurances before settling on one.

Earning Potential

The U.S average earning for this industry is $45,110 per year or $21.69 per hour. The growth of the industry is also much higher than average at 14%, so it's certainly a good time to enter the business.

After you built an established business, you can expand to open franchising opportunities, as well as opening a branch in another location. With the expansion, your earning potential will also increase significantly.

Technical proficiency, as well as a marketing effort, will be essential as the key to success in this business.
