Minnesota — Level Index
How do Minnesota contractors compare to the national average? Bill rates, collection rates, margins, and utilization data from 58+ Minnesota contractors across HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, and more.
Key Finding
Minnesota contractors bill $17/hr above the national median
Minnesota's harsh winters drive heavy HVAC and plumbing demand from October through April. Contractors who offer service agreements with guaranteed response times during heating season command significant premiums.
For a 10-tech shop, that $17/hr difference means $340K per year in additional revenue compared to the national median.
