Seller's market: M&A advisor says now is the time to sell an HVAC business

M&A advisor Dena Jalbert argues it is currently a seller's market for HVAC businesses due to favorable conditions and increasing PE competition, with strong multiples unlikely to recur until the next cycle.

“Timing is everything and the time for HVAC M&A is now. Competition for strong assets is high and the next cycle may not come for another decade. Multiples are strong and the highest they’ll be until the next cycle. It’s a seller’s market, so you are more likely to get agreeable terms that meet your needs.”
