Tradify data shows HVAC and refrigeration firms taking the top spot for revenue generation among UK trade businesses.
Latest figures from job management platform Tradify reveal that HVAC and refrigeration businesses generated the highest average annual revenue across the UK trade sector this year. The data highlights a growing trend of trade firms building substantial multi-million-pound operations despite challenging macroeconomic conditions.
Specialist trades have benefited from steady demand for energy-efficient heating solutions, commercial cooling upgrades, and heat pump retrofits. The shift towards greener heating technology and stricter energy efficiency standards across UK housing and commercial properties has kept skilled climate-control contractors in high demand compared to broader general building sectors.
What does this mean for a UK tradesperson or DIYer actually buying this kit — does it change what they should pay, buy, or watch out for?
High turnover in specialized sectors like HVAC directly impacts the purchasing decisions of active tradespeople. Higher revenues allow sub-contractors to invest more heavily in high-end specialized equipment, such as digital manifolds, vacuum pumps, thermal imaging cameras, and premium cordless press tools from brands like Milwaukee or Rothenberger. For general builders or DIYers, this strong market positioning indicates that HVAC and heat pump specialists will likely maintain firm labor prices, while merchants will prioritize stocking advanced climate-control tools and fittings to cater to high-spending specialists.
