Questions
How many HVAC and plumbing companies are in Texas?
As of September 2026, map listings count 8,710 HVAC and plumbing companies in Texas. 359 of them (4%) are chain locations. The listings count heating and air-conditioning companies and plumbers. Official counts show 8,966 businesses with payroll classed as plumbing, heating and air-conditioning contractors in 2023, up 14.1% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on home repairs, maintenance and insurance?
About $33.1B a year, or $3,015 per household. That is in line with the U.S. average (an index of 100, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 8,710 HVAC and plumbing companies on map listings, it comes to $3.8M per company. That spending covers all home repairs, maintenance and insurance, which HVAC and plumbing companies share with other businesses in the trade. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for HVAC and plumbing companies?
Texas has 7.9 HVAC and plumbing companies per 10,000 households, 25% above the U.S. rate of 6.3. Spending per company is $3.8M, 20% below the U.S. figure of $4.8M. At the U.S. ratio of HVAC and plumbing companies to household spending, Texas would have about 6,966, against 8,710 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 1,226 households, against one for every 1,162 across the U.S. The official count rose 14.1% from 2019 to 2023, against +7.6% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for HVAC and plumbing companies?
Among 26 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos metro area scores highest, at 78 (high). Among 33 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Jacksonville area scores highest, at 77 (high). Among 120 scored counties in Texas, Chambers County scores highest, at 95 (very high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Texas scores 50 for HVAC and plumbing companies (upper middle), #28 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Texas. It maps the HVAC and plumbing companies on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
