Homeowners are staying put — and that could mean big things for the home services industry.
According to new 2026 research, 72% of homeowners plan to stay in their current home for the foreseeable future. At the same time, 69% are living in homes more than 20 years old.
For HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses, that creates an important opportunity.
As homeowners choose to invest in the homes they already have, aging equipment and home systems will continue to need maintenance, repairs, and eventually, replacement.
It’s another reminder of the essential role our industry plays: helping homeowners protect the place they plan to call home for years to come.
