Heating + Air Paramedics

The vendor opportunity at Heating + Air Paramedics

Heating + Air Paramedics presents a compact but high-value target for software vendors. The system consists of 22 franchised units, with no company-owned locations reported. This means your entire addressable market is composed of franchisees operating under a unified brand. The average unit volume sits at $1,920,527, and the brand is growing at a 37.5% year-over-year clip. For a vendor, that growth rate signals new location openings—and new technology needs—on a regular basis. The initial franchise term is 10 years, with a 5% royalty on gross sales. The brand is independently owned, with no parent company on file, which can mean a more direct and less bureaucratic sales process than you would find inside a large portfolio.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing authority rests at the headquarters level. The 2026 FDD lists five key individuals in Item 1: Jordan Lajoie (Chairman of the Board of Managers), Caroline Quoyeser (Vice President and Manager), Stephen Rice (Vice President, Secretary and Manager), Ryan Farris (Manager), and Steven Siegel (Manager). In a system of this size, these executives are your buying center. Your initial outreach should target the VP and Chairman level, as they hold both operational and strategic oversight. There is no CIO or CTO named in the filing, which is typical for a 22-unit home-services brand. Expect that any software decision will require direct engagement with this small leadership team rather than a dedicated IT procurement function.

Mandated and current tech stack

The most recent FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology systems. Item 11, which typically lists required POS, CRM, field-service management, or accounting platforms, contains no named vendors or systems in our extraction. This absence is a critical signal. It means either the franchisor does not mandate specific tools, or the mandate is communicated outside the FDD. For a vendor, this represents a potential greenfield. You are not displacing an entrenched incumbent; you are making the case for becoming the first system-wide standard. However, you must validate this directly with HQ, as some franchisors enforce tech standards through operations manuals rather than the FDD.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Procurement signals from Item 8 are not captured in the available data. We cannot confirm whether Heating + Air Paramedics uses a designated supplier model, an approved supplier list, or an open procurement process. This lack of visibility means your first conversation should include a discovery question about how they currently source and approve vendor partners. On the renewal side, Item 17 provides a clear trigger: franchisees in good standing may renew for one additional term equal to the then-current term offered to new franchisees. With a 10-year initial term and 37.5% unit growth, the system is likely adding new franchisees who need to stand up operations quickly. That onboarding window is your most natural entry point for software sales.

How to read the Heating + Air Paramedics FDD

The 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document is your primary source of truth for understanding this brand's technology posture. Focus on Item 11 (obligations) to see if any software requirements are listed in the operations manual cross-reference. Scrutinize Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services) for procurement model language that may not have been captured in our extraction. Item 19 (financial performance representations) gives you the $1.92M AUV figure, which helps you build an ROI model for your software. The full FDD is embedded below for your review.
