Patrick Lange is back on the show to share the latest in HVAC business ownership opportunities. He helps people buy and sell heating and air companies.

According to the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA): The U.S. HVAC services market is predicted to grow to $35.8 billion by 2030. This growth is partly fueled by the demand for energy efficiency, and booming construction.

Patrick Lange with Business Modification Group specializes in the sale and acquisition of heating and air companies. Patrick has been an entrepreneur his entire life buying, growing, and selling businesses in multiple industries, including owning a residential heating and air company.

Patrick is considered an expert in the field of business brokerage, having earned multiple awards for transactions and dollar volume of business sold.

Patrick decided several years ago to focus exclusively on heating and air companies after seeing a need for someone with specific knowledge of the industry as well as the ability to market these businesses in an effective manner to help his clients achieve predictable results. Since he made that transition, he has sold more heating and air companies than any other broker.

In addition to facilitating the sale of heating and air companies, Patrick also provides valuations for those who are interested in learning the current value of their business in the market as well as strategies to increase the potential selling price..
