HVAC contractors looking to expand have a few options. They can expand geographically, by offering service in new locations. Or they can add new services. The usual choices for new services include related trades, such as plumbing or electrical. But what about something a little different, such as pest control?
With both HVAC and pest control, the goal is getting into a consumer’s home as often and as regularly as possible. HVAC contractors who do both trades do say pest control provides the opportunity to increase contact with consumers, along with very high margins. But they caution there are reasons why most contractors stick with more familiar offerings.
