LINC SERVICE

FDD Year:

Linc Service franchises enable the operation of businesses specializing in the maintenance, repair, and replacement of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, equipment, and controls, using a proprietary Linc System that includes management methods, marketing techniques, software tools like LincWare, and trademarks. The business model grants franchisees rights to operate service establishments within defined primary or shared marketing areas, targeting owners and managers of commercial, industrial, institutional, and multifamily residential buildings. Primarily offered to existing HVAC professionals or qualified newcomers, franchisees compete in a developed market against independent contractors and manufacturers' service offices.
