TULSA, Okla. — Service Experts has welcomed Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning of Tulsa as its first-ever franchisee-owned center under the company’s recently introduced franchising model.
Formerly Jack Nelson Service Experts, the center is now franchised to Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning of Tulsa under the ownership of general manager-turned-owner Trey Thomas-Piazza.
“We know how closely people value shopping local, and are honored to become the first locally owned franchise location for this national brand,” said Thomas-Piazza in a press release. “It’s been an honor to lead this center, and I look forward to our continued growth and success as we enter this next chapter.”
Tulsa, Oklahoma, residents will continue receiving the service they’ve come to know since 1979, the press release said.
Service Experts announced its franchising model to expand and help more locally owned HVAC businesses enjoy the benefits of being part of a large and successful brand, the press release said. Service Experts’ team of nearly 4,000 serves more than 2,500 homes and businesses daily, delivering expertise in heating, air conditioning, IAQ, plumbing, electrical work, and other specialized home services, the press release said.
“Service Experts began in 1996 as a coalition of independent businesses that recognized the strength of uniting under a single brand,” said Matthew Lefler, vice president of franchise operations at Service Experts. “The group’s shared commitment to exceptional customer service established Service Experts as a trusted name, which franchising now brings to more local HVAC businesses like Service Experts Tulsa. Our goal is to see many local business owners across the country grow and create wealth with our proven systems and resources.”
Service Experts gives franchisees corporate support that includes access to national agreements with major suppliers, marketing and lead-generation tools, established operating systems, and industry-leading training, the press release said.
