How to Start an Air Conditioner Repair Shop Business

Are you interested in setting up your own air conditioner repair shop biz but have no idea where to start? After all, air conditioners are a necessity nowadays both in commercial and residential establishments. Look no further.

Here is a step by step air conditioner repair shop biz guide that will help you realize you dreams of owning your own business today.

Air conditioners have evolved from a luxury commodity to a necessity nowadays. Every industrial, commercial and residential establishment presented a need for this item as one of the most valuable addition in providing convenience and comfort to its patrons or residents. As the demand for air conditioners continues to grow, so is the need for accessible and reliable air conditioner repair shop.

To start an air con repair shop biz, one must consider several aspects of this industry to better realize the prospect this business has to offer.

Map Out an Air Conditioner Repair Shop Business Plan

The first and most important thing to do before starting any business is writing a business plan. With this, an entrepreneur will have a full view of every aspect involving the air conditioner repair shop business. The plan should include details including where to start the air conditioner repair shop biz, the target clients, competitors and the cost of establishing this type of business. With a business plan at hand, the entrepreneur will have a holistic view of the business and possible problems that may arise will be easily spotted and remedied.

Determine the Area of Operations

Another important thing to consider in starting your own air conditioner repair shop biz is the location for the operation. It will be beneficial to make a survey of the area one intends to operate in to determine the number and types or air conditioner repair shop biz competitors. Having too many competitors in the area will make it harder to startup the air conditioner repair shop biz, especially when such competitors have already established their names in the area.

Ascertain the Startup Cost for the Air Conditioner Repair Shop Biz

Starting this business will indeed need certain amount of capital. Depending on the intended size of operation, an air conditioner repair shop biz basically needs service trucks and a set of equipment such as Freon and the newer Puron refrigerant. It’s better to invest in new set equipment but second hand will do for those just starting and not having sufficient capital.

Marketing and Licensing

The next thing to do is to secure an air conditioner repair shop license. A number of states require licenses for the employees engaged in HVAC repair and installation. Having such licenses will add credibility and stability to the business.

Last but not the least is marketing or advertising the air conditioner repair shop business. This can be done by simply printing out business cards or flyers and distributing them to business establishments or residential areas, depending on which target market you want to focus on.
