How We Provide Franchisees With Guidance & Independence


October 15, 2021


Franchising Requires Teamwork & Compatibility

We understand that the decision to start a franchise deserves careful consideration. At One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning Franchise Development, we want to help you arrive at an educated decision that is best for you. In all business matters, that is our approach – assisting each franchise owner while also respecting their independence and autonomy. Our number one priority is to help you establish your business and sustain successful operations in the HVAC industry. As a result, our relationship is symbiotic. When we succeed, we succeed together.

There are many benefits of opening a franchise location in the HVAC industry. Those benefits will multiply by opening a franchise location with our elite brand name and network offering support. When it comes to daily operations, you will be the star of the show – performing maintenance and repairs, dealing with customers, and building a local community of satisfied customers. Behind the scenes, we will provide pivotal support. One Hour is primarily here to help your operations get off the ground and grow. With proprietary platforms, marketing support, state-of-the-art technologies, franchise discounts, and training opportunities, our goal is to invest in your future by paving the pathway for success.

The Franchising Process

If interested, one of our friendly regional Franchise Development representatives will be happy to have an in-depth telephone conversation where they can fill you in about our goals, systems, policies, and expectations. We are also excited to hear about your goals and expectations. If our business goals are compatible, we will continue the validation process by scheduling a webinar and an in-person meeting.

Each of these steps will offer you a deeper understanding of what franchising with One Hour is all about and whether we are the right fit for you. Many factors come into play when searching for the right match. We are eager to team up with motivated entrepreneurs whose aspirations align with our values and available for any inquiries. In total, it usually takes between 30 to 90 days to finalize an agreement. Our Franchise Development team will do everything to expedite the process when an approved franchisee is eager to get their business up and running right away.

In Business, Balance Is Everything

By joining One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning Franchise Development, you will inherit advanced business strategies. During the launch phase, our Franchise Development experts will be on-site helping you throughout the process. We provide proven ground rules and successful guidelines to help you stay organized and ahead of the curve. Our entire franchise network is required to follow One Hour’s essential policies. These are in place to uphold our respectability in the HVAC industry. They include:

  • Our “Always on Time…or You Don’t Pay a Dime®” policy
  • Our commitment to the UWIN® seal – which promises 100% satisfaction guarantees to all customers
  • Our reliance on a strict code of ethics that values teamwork, privacy, service, and safety, among other qualities

At the same time, we provide business owners ample space to make independent decisions. You are the expert on your specific region, market, customers, and operations. That is why we consistently strive to maintain a cohesive brand identity without overstepping any boundaries. We aim to be a reliable support system for every franchisee. Our goal is to give you the training, tools, and resources necessary to lead you to success. As Mark Baker, our president of the franchise department, recently stated in an article with Contracting Business: “You’re in business ‘for yourself,’ but not ‘by yourself, […] You have the power of the network behind you. Any challenge or problem you face has been faced by someone else who can help. That’s what franchising is all about.”
