Varsity Zone is the 9th brand in the rapidly expanding portfolio of HorsePower Brands, entering the HVAC industry with a disruptive, modern approach. Backed by a leadership team with over 50 years of experience in HVAC, Varsity Zone brings a powerful mix of expertise, innovation, and operational excellence to an industry that is essential and consistently in demand.
Designed as a semi-involved franchise model, Varsity Zone is ideal for investors seeking the best of both worlds—high-ticket service potential with consistent, recurring revenue. With proven systems, national support infrastructure, and a strong brand legacy from HorsePower, franchisees can tap into a recession-resistant market with confidence and scalability. Varsity Zone is more than HVAC—it's a future-forward opportunity built for growth.
