Advisor forecasts 2025 HVAC M&A rebound across manufacturers, distributors, contractors

Uplift Partners managing director Quinn Carlson told HARDI's conference that M&A activity is set to rebound in 2025, especially in HVAC, after a cool period driven by inflation and high interest rates.

“Inflation, higher interest rates, and election uncertainty are among the factors that have kept many investors cautious for a while, but mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity is set to rebound in 2025. That activity should be especially strong in the HVAC sector, across manufacturers, distributors, and contractors.”
