Break-Even Calculator for HVAC
Pre-filled with real hvac industry benchmarks
HVAC businesses operate with a seasonal revenue pattern - heating season and cooling season create peaks, while spring and fall can be slow. Your break-even must account for this seasonality: you need peak-season profits to carry you through slow months. Parts and materials typically run 25 to 35% of job revenue, with labor at 25 to 30%. Maintenance agreements provide predictable recurring revenue that lowers your effective break-even. This calculator uses typical HVAC company benchmarks.
