7 Hvac Equipment Shop Success Stories [2023]
Here are some real life success stories of starting a HVAC equipment shop:
1. TruTech Tools, LTD ($22.5M/year)
Bill Spohn (from Mogadore, Ohio, USA) started TruTech Tools, LTD almost 16 years ago.
Hi, I’m Bill Spohn, President, CEO, and majority owner of TruTech Tools, LTD. Eric Preston is my trusted business partner. Our business continues to grow as we complement each other's personalities so well. TruTech is one of the largest online stores in the niche market of tools and test instruments for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) Technicians. We are also the major supplier to a smaller market of technicians that do energy audits and assess building performance, including indoor air quality. We serve customers in the US and Canada.
I founded the company with Jim Bergmann, Jr, and his dad, Jim Sr. (who passed in 2016). The business was intended as a retirement “hobby” for Jim Sr. as both his son and I had full-time jobs. After I bought them out (with Eric noted above) in 2014, we have continued to have a great relationship with Jim Jr. and have continued to build each others’ businesses. The interesting thing is, I have always worked remotely (100 miles away) from the majority of the staff at the offices/warehouse.
2. Total Home Supply ($4.5M/year)
Mike Luongo (from Ohio, USA) started Total Home Supply about 13 years ago.
My name is Mike Luongo and I am the Managing Member of Total Home Supply in Fairfield, NJ. Total Home Supply was founded in 2010 by a group of disgruntled people working for other Internet companies. We were not happy with the direction of these companies so we got together under a common concept of creating a company that would treat our customers the way we would like to be treated.
We have averaged 20% growth per year with our biggest year almost doubling. Our customer base has also been growing at an average of 28% per year.
