Ask Ava anything about the information on this page.
The Boise City metro has 719 larger buildings in HVAC-buying categories, led by medical and dental office buildings (255), and 74 nonresidential plumbing and HVAC contractors working them. It over-indexes on medical and dental office buildings, which should anchor a target list. Start in Ada County and Canyon County, where 98% of them sit.
These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for HVAC work, with how many of each are in the Boise City metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Boise City leans toward medical and dental office buildings (1.71x), hospital campuses (1.50x) and hosting and data processing companies (1.37x). Build the list around those categories. Hotels and senior living and skilled nursing are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.
Locations are establishments with 20 or more employees (U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023); property management and similar companies are counted in full, whatever their size. Change and concentration: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, private ownership, 2026 Q1.
Buildings per contractor: Boise City and nearby markets
74 nonresidential plumbing and HVAC contractors are based in the Boise City metro. That is 5 fewer than a year ago. When a contractor closes or sells, its customers go looking for a new one. The trade is at about the national concentration. 9.7 larger HVAC-buying buildings per contractor puts Boise City 51 of 100 markets. That sits mid-pack: real room to grow, but the best accounts are contested. If you can serve Salt Lake City and Spokane, they have more larger buildings per contractor than Boise City.
