India is situated north of the
equator so, the weather is most of the time hot and humid. So, the air
conditioner is a necessity for the maximum area of India, both in the
commercial and residential establishment. Approximately 6 to 8 months from a
year, we all are turn up our air cooler/conditioner. Soon, the air conditioning
business has a lot of opportunities to come so it’s also an ideal money-making
business.
The Air Conditioner business is quite dynamic. Every year AC manufacturers update the technology in new models of AC. If we look at the history of AC, they are so bulky and cumbersome AC units of the early ’90s, now ACs are becoming smaller and smarter you can control on your AC through Smartphone. AC unit motors are more silent, and there are now more energy-conserving devices like inverter AC also available.
Before starting this business you must have complete knowledge of Air condition units to open a proper service center.
Before
starting your AC maintenance business, select the right area for setup. If you
start your businesses near high standard societies or Commercial Complex’s that
will help to grow. So, that a good amount of maintenance work should come. Then
you just need a GST number and shop registration.
1 Prepare
a blueprint for your business plan.
The
first thing before starting any business is to write a business plan. The plan
should include proper details, like how where to start the air conditioner
service business, the targeted clients, competitors, and the total budget for
the business.
2 Determine the area of Operations
Location
is a key factor for a new business. If you do a small survey yourself, it will
be beneficial for your startup to operate. If the place you have chosen for a
business, having too many competitors, then it will be hard to start up your
new air conditioner service. Especially when your competitors have already
established their names in that area.
3. Approx
budget for startup cost for your business.
Every
business requires some basic capital in the case of AC maintenance business
under one lakh rupees you can start your business. An Air Conditioner repair
business also requires a service van and a set of equipment. It’s better to
invest in a used set of equipment instead of purchasing a new set of equipment
for those who have just starting the business and not having sufficient
capital.
4. Marketing and Licensing
License
is mandatory documentation for a new business now the GST is required for every
small or big business. Some states require one more license for the employees
engaged in HVAC repair and installation. Having such licenses will add
credibility and stability to the business.
An
AC (air conditioning business) is very closely tied with the HVAC (Heating
Ventilation Air Conditioning) business. This is mainly because when heating and
installation are installed in buildings and other architectural structures, AC
is installed as well.
However,
an AC business is a separate entity from most HVAC businesses. HVAC contractors
usually hire 2 or more different companies to complete the HVAC installation,
from companies that supply wall insulation to ventilation parts to AC
businesses.
The
last and very important point is local marketing or advertising of your air
conditioner repair shop business. This can be done by simply printing business
cards, brochures, or banners for local marketing in the targeted areas you want
to focus on.

can also register your business with big brands for the franchise to provide maintenance
