Why You Can Trust Toro Growth Group’s HVAC & Plumbing Experience
HVAC and plumbing companies operate in a highly competitive and operationally intensive environment. Performance is driven by technician productivity, dispatch efficiency, service pricing, maintenance agreements, and customer retention. At the same time, labor shortages, rising equipment costs, and fluctuating demand place constant pressure on margins and cash flow.
Toro Growth Group partners with HVAC and plumbing business owners and leadership teams to provide strategic finance, operational insight, and transaction advisory support. Whether you are scaling your platform, improving profitability, preparing for a future exit, or pursuing acquisitions, we help you build a financially disciplined and operationally strong business built for long term value creation.
HVAC and plumbing are not traditional service businesses. Revenue is driven by a mix of service calls, replacements, maintenance agreements, and commercial projects. Costs are dominated by technician labor, fleet operations, inventory, and marketing.
Many owners focus on top line growth without clear visibility into technician productivity, job level margins, and route efficiency. Without strong financial infrastructure and operational reporting, leadership teams are forced to make decisions based on incomplete data and lagging indicators.
Toro Growth Group brings deep financial rigor and operational understanding to help HVAC and plumbing leaders gain clarity into what is driving performance and where value is being created or lost.

HVAC & Plumbing Industry Challenges We Solve
Technician Utilization and Dispatch Inefficiency
Technician utilization is the single biggest driver of profitability in HVAC and plumbing businesses. Underutilized technicians create hidden cost. Overloaded schedules increase burnout, callbacks, and customer dissatisfaction. Without clear utilization tracking, owners are forced to hire more technicians instead of improving productivity.
We help HVAC and plumbing companies gain real time visibility into technician utilization, route efficiency, and capacity planning. Our work allows leaders to right size staffing, improve scheduling, and scale revenue without sacrificing service quality.
Job and Technician Profitability
Most HVAC and plumbing owners know their revenue but lack clear insight into which jobs, technicians, and service lines are actually profitable. Labor overruns, inefficient routing, untracked callbacks, and material waste quietly erode margins. By the time leadership realizes performance is slipping, profitability has already suffered.
We help owners implement job level and technician level profitability reporting that shows exactly where money is made and lost. This gives leaders the ability to price accurately, coach technicians effectively, and eliminate margin leakage across the organization.
Sustaining Recurring Growth
Growth in HVAC and plumbing often creates operational complexity before it creates financial benefit. More trucks, more technicians, more locations, and more customers all introduce execution risk. Without the right financial infrastructure, owners lose visibility and decision making becomes reactive.
We help HVAC and plumbing companies scale with confidence by building the financial and operational foundation required for sustainable, recurring growth. This includes KPI reporting, pricing discipline, margin management, forecasting, and strategic planning that supports long term value creation.
Client Testimonials
Get Started with a Confidential Consultation
We want to learn about your business and goals. Our process begins with a private strategy conversation to understand your business, your market, and your long term objectives. From there, we provide a tailored information request designed to support a market informed valuation and strategic assessment of your company.
Our valuation process goes beyond surface level multiples. We evaluate your business through the lens of a sophisticated buyer by combining industry transaction data with our own proprietary insights. The result is a customized valuation analysis that reflects how the market is likely to view your company, supported by a clear explanation of the factors that influence value. In parallel, we work with owners to identify opportunities to strengthen positioning and improve valuation. This includes assessing margin quality, backlog reliability, customer concentration, labor efficiency, cash flow durability, and operational scalability. Our goal is to help you understand not only what your business may be worth today, but what it could be worth with the right strategic improvements in place.
If you choose to pursue a transaction, we design a confidential go to market strategy that outlines exactly how buyers will be identified, qualified, and engaged. We prepare a detailed confidential information memorandum that presents your company in a clear, credible, and compelling way to serious buyers.
