You Run the Business. Your Team Does the Repairs.
A TrustPro appliance repair franchise is an owner-operator model: you build and lead a team of technicians, and the Home Alliance platform supplies the leads, booking, technology and training. You don't fix appliances. You run a company that does.
How the TrustPro Model Works
- 1
A homeowner needs a repair.
They search online or see a TrustPro ad in your territory.
- 2
Home Alliance generates the lead.
SEO, paid advertising and brand reputation route the call to your territory.
- 3
The call center books it.
Trained dispatchers qualify the job and schedule the appointment.
- 4
Your technician completes the repair.
Routing software assigns the job to the right tech.
- 5
You manage the business.
CRM, phones and analytics show bookings, completion and revenue in one dashboard.
Three Revenue Streams
Brands your technicians service
TrustPro territories serve both ends of the market, so your team isn't limited to one customer segment.
- Luxury and built-in: Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador, GE Monogram, KitchenAid, Bosch
- Everyday brands: Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Frigidaire, Maytag, Kenmore, Electrolux
High-end appliances bring higher-value repair tickets; everyday brands bring volume. Training covers how to book and route both.

A Day in the Life of a TrustPro Owner

| Evening | Territory growth planning |
Owner-Operator or Semi-Absentee
You choose how involved you are day to day. Many owners run the business themselves in the first year. Others operate semi-absentee by designating a Principal Executive — a manager who owns at least 10% of the business — to handle daily operations while the owner focuses on growth or additional territories.
Either way, TrustPro is home-based: no storefront, no warehouse lease, no retail overhead. You manage from a home office and technicians work from stocked vehicles.
Why the Market Supports the Model
- The U.S. appliance repair industry is a $7.4 billion market in 2026, growing about 2.8% a year since 2021 (IBISWorld).
- 95% of homeowners have had a major appliance break down (Allstate survey via ConsumerAffairs).
- The top four companies earn less than 40% of industry revenue, so the market is fragmented and open to well-run local operators (ConsumerAffairs).
- Appliances fail in every season, so demand doesn't depend on weather or holidays.
