The archive has no HVAC Services category of its own. These figures are for the broader Construction sector it sits within, September 2014 to July 2026, and they describe how that sector trades, not what a business like yours would fetch. The deals behind the EBITDA median had a median value of $115M, larger than most owner-operated businesses. Who buys in Construction

The recorded deals price below the indicative estimate on revenue (median 0.5x, n=13, against 0.9x to 1.3x). The two sources measure different businesses: the estimate is for a business of this kind, the recorded deals are the larger companies in the broader sector. Neither is a valuation of yours.

Apply the indicative estimate to your earnings: EBITDA if the business has a management team, revenue if it does not yet make a profit. The calculator below does exactly that with that estimate, and shows the range, not a single figure. It is a benchmark, not a valuation.
