Ownership Model: Semi-Passive Ownership (With Structure) 🧠⚙️

AireServ is designed for Semi-Passive Ownership, but with important guardrails.

Neighborly allows semi-passive ownership from day one provided:

  • The owner hires a manager approved by Neighborly, and
  • The manager completes training alongside the owner.

Fully passive ownership is not offered 🚫🛋️.

This model works well for owners who want to lead the business, not necessarily turn the wrenches—while still maintaining visibility and control 🔍📈.

Training & Support 🎓📞

AireServ franchisees receive comprehensive onboarding and long-term support, including complete management, marketing, sales, and startup training; national conferences and reunions; regional training events; ongoing telephone and on-site support; and continuous access to Neighborly’s marketing and franchise consulting teams.

This is a system built for owners who want to scale with guidance, not figure things out alone 🚀🤝.

Who Is the Ideal AireServ Owner? 👤👥

AireServ is not about being the technician—it’s about building and leading a team.

The ideal candidate is a leader of people and teams, is comfortable relying on operations managers to run day-to-day workflows, enjoys working with consultants and marketing teams to drive growth, and wants a proven service business with recurring demand and operational depth.

You don’t need HVAC experience—but you do need leadership skills, accountability, and the desire to grow a real HVAC Franchise 💪❄️🔥.

The Neighborly Advantage 🏆

As part of Neighborly, AireServ benefits from national brand recognition, shared best practices across multiple home-service brands, centralized marketing and operational resources, and a franchisor focused on long-term franchisee success.

Neighborly’s scale gives AireServ owners leverage—without losing the local, owner-operated feel customers value ❤️🏡.

Final Takeaway ✅

AireServ is a strong fit for owners who want a scalable, service-based business with semi-passive potential, backed by one of the most respected franchisors in the home-services space.

If you’re a people-first leader looking to build a business—not buy yourself a job—the AireServ Franchise under the Neighborly umbrella offers structure, support, and room to grow 🌱💼.
