Lessen Advantage Marketplace: Reduce Margin Compression this HVAC Season

HVAC season is here and property owners, facility managers, and maintenance companies are bracing for inevitable margin compression, when the cost of delivering a product or service increases faster than the revenue it generates. With demand for HVAC services rising with summer temperatures, it's crucial to find savings where you can. One of the most effective strategies to do just that is leveraging a partner with exclusive relationships and access to deep discounts. That’s where our new platform Lessen Advantage Marketplace can help. Now you’ll have access to deep discounts on HVAC products and thousands of other items from trusted home improvement suppliers like Lowe's, Sherwin Williams, and Goodman.

The importance of savings during HVAC season

And Lessen Marketplace couldn’t arrive at a better time because finding more effective cost-savings measures is more important than ever. Margin compression is a common challenge for facility managers and maintenance companies during peak HVAC seasons. The current inflationary environment doesn’t help. As a result, the average profit margins for HVAC companies dropped by 3-5% in 2023, according to​ (Motili)​​. In fact, the average profit margin for an HVAC business is now between 2.5% and 5%, with the top HVAC companies earning between 10% to 25% profit margins. (SBE)

Despite those earnings, the HVAC industry also experienced a significant rise in costs last year. Material costs increased by an average of 12%, and labor costs rose by about 8% due to inflation and labor shortages. Both are expected to rise throughout 2024, driven by ongoing supply chain disruptions and regulatory changes. For example, new SEER2 energy efficiency standards spiked HVAC equipment prices between 15% to 25% in 2023 alone​ (Motili)​​ (Motili)​​.
