TemperaturePro is a leading heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) franchise that provides residential and commercial services across the United States.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana, TemperaturePro began franchising in 2014. The company has since expanded to over 189 locations nationwide, offering a range of services including HVAC installation, maintenance, repair, indoor air quality solutions, and energy efficiency audits.

TemperaturePro distinguishes itself through its commitment to professionalism, transparency, and customer convenience. Each franchise is independently owned and operated, yet benefits from the support of a nationally recognized brand.

Training

TemperaturePro provides a comprehensive suite of training programs to equip franchisees and their teams for successful operations. These structured initiatives are designed to cover both the technical and business aspects of running a franchise.

1. Franchisee Orientation and Training Program
   This mandatory training is conducted at TemperaturePro’s offices in Lafayette, Louisiana or another specified location, and must be completed before starting operations. The training covers management, marketing, communications systems, bookkeeping, and employer-employee relations. It typically lasts four days and is provided at no extra cost, although franchisees must cover their own travel, lodging, and meals.
2. HVAC Technical Training
   Franchisees must ensure that employees receive sufficient HVAC training, either through the franchisor’s designated HVAC training school or another approved institution. This ensures all service is performed in line with TemperaturePro standards. Training is required within 90 days of notice when new or additional services are introduced.
3. Sales Training Program
   One owner or employee must complete the Initial Sales Training through an approved provider. The program costs $1,526 and is aimed at boosting the franchise’s revenue-generating capabilities. Completion is mandatory prior to beginning sales operations.

Territory Protection

TemperaturePro grants franchisees a defined “Franchise Area” prior to signing the Franchise Agreement. This area is usually large, with a minimum population requirement of 500,000, and the franchisor commits not to allow another franchisee to locate an office within an already licensed area.

Franchisees retain rights to their territory even if the population increases over time. However, the territory is not fully exclusive. TemperaturePro may still use alternative channels like internet or telemarketing to make sales within a franchisee's territory if the franchisee does not properly service required accounts.

Also, the franchisor explicitly states it has no plans to operate competing businesses under different trademarks or distribution channels, which suggests some level of territorial integrity, though not complete exclusivity.
