What It Took to Grow an HVAC Company Tenfold

September 30, 2026 · ACHR News · Score: 42

This is a story about the HVAC industry's business side, not a homeowner upgrade. It covers a podcast interview with Roy White, who grew his company, Fixed Right, from about $700,000 to $7 million in revenue. He talks about leadership mistakes he made along the way, including trying to control too many decisions himself, and how delegating to other leaders, building operational systems, and using a coaching program helped the business scale.

White plans to share more of these lessons at an HVAC contractor conference this fall.

There is nothing here about rebates, equipment, efficiency standards, or costs that would affect a homeowner's own house. It is aimed at people who run heating and cooling companies, not people deciding on an upgrade.
