Established Florida HVAC Business for Sale | $815K+ Revenue | 18+ Year
Port St. Lucie, FL

$447,000
Cash Flow
$550,000
Asking Price
This Port St. Lucie HVAC operation is printing money with a stunning 55% cash flow margin—$447K on $815K revenue represents some of the cleanest economics we've seen in home services this year. The 1.23x revenue multiple is remarkably low for a business with active service agreements and 18+ years of operating history in Florida's year-round HVAC market. What really stands out is the predictable recurring revenue model: service agreements create baseline cash flow while the Treasure Coast's population growth (one of Florida's fastest-growing regions) provides natural expansion opportunity. At this price point, you're essentially buying $447K in annual owner benefit for half a million—a sub-14 month payback that's almost unheard of in established service businesses.

Verdict: Best cash flow deal of the week—rare sub-1.5x revenue multiple on a high-margin HVAC business in a growth market
