Linc Network, LLC conducts extensive research before selecting a market area and awarding a franchise. To protect the integrity of the Linc System, only select contractors who share common business ethics, philosophies, and a desire to succeed are awarded franchises. Generally, only one contractor in 100 meets these criteria.

As a member of the Linc Service Network, you will have a distinct advantage over your competitors. That advantage is the Linc System, a practiced and proven format for operating a commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) service business. Linc Service Contractors follow the disciplines of the Linc System to deliver preventive maintenance and HVAC service – as well as bundled energy solutions – to the commercial market.

Why invest in a Linc Service franchise?
Owning a Linc Service franchise sets your company apart from the rest of the pack. But don’t take our word for it. Click here to see first-hand accounts from some of our Principals about how the Linc System has enabled them to build a more profitable business.

Is my market available for a franchise?
Franchise locations are assigned according to Primary Market Area (PMA). In most, though not all, cases, only one Linc Service Contractor operates in each PMA. However, in some cases – namely with larger cities – multiple franchise locations have been awarded in the same PMA.

My market is available. Now what?
Once you have determined that your market area is available for franchise development, the next step is to contact our franchise sales department (listed below) to begin initial discussions about how your organization can become a member of the Linc Service Network. If, after these initial discussions, you would like to pursue the opportunity further, the following steps will take place:

• Concept Meeting: You will meet with our franchise sales director to have a more in-depth discussion about your interest in becoming a Linc Service Contractor. He will explain in detail the concepts behind the Linc System, and how it is used by Linc Service Contractors to rise above the competition. We’ll also talk about where your company is now, what your corporate goals are, and where you want to be.

• Due Diligence: After the concept meeting has concluded, we will invite you to call some of our current Linc Service Contractors to hear about their experiences using the Linc System. During these phone conversations, we encourage you to ask the representatives from our franchise locations why they chose Linc, how Linc has helped their business grow, and/or any other questions you might have.

• Visit Our Headquarters: Once you have completed the due diligence, it’s time to take a tour of our corporate headquarters. Depending on your situation, you will spend about a day-and-a-half visiting either our Pittsburgh or Atlanta office. During that time you will meet Linc’s management team and witness a presentation explaining every component of the Linc System. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit the site of a current Linc franchise.

• Conclude Agreement: If, after careful consideration, you like what you’ve seen and heard, we’ll move forward with making final arrangements for signing an agreement for the purchase of your Linc Service franchise.

• Start-Up: After you’ve signed your franchise agreement, one of Linc’s Area Vice Presidents (AVP) will schedule a “start-up meeting” with you to begin operations as a Linc Service Contractor.
