Grow your knowledge. Grow your business.

December is upon us and with a new year comes time to set new goals and expectations. While you're evaluating annual performances and value to your company, you can identify where certain improvements can be made.

In the HVAC industry, there is always an appetite for new customers and jobs. Acquiring quality leads can be difficult for a company for many reasons. Such as, not getting in front of ideal customers, having a weak online presence or not having one at all, not offering the right services to the needs of ideal customers, or not offering competitive prices for their services.

If you are an HVAC professional, then you’re probably familiar with regulating airflow issues. Whether it be leaky air ducts, a clogged air conditioner coil or just lack of return air; these air upgrades are what lower the total static pressures to improve a fan's airflow. But, how do you know if there is a problem with the airflow, to begin with? A way to determine what air upgrades are necessary for your costumers is by conducting a static pressure test. This test is used to uncover hidden problems that other technicians might have missed. But, before performing any kind of test, you must collect certain information from both the indoor and outdoor equipment that you are working with.

Providing positive experiences for customers can drastically affect the development of any business. Therefore, hiring great field technicians to support and greet your customers is critical. These field techs are up close and personal with clients the most. Which begs the question, how can your field technicians provide a great customer experience?

When working in the HVAC, plumbing or electrical industry, you are asked to perform some rather meaningful jobs in both commercial and residential sites. Whether you are installing new ceiling fans and light fixtures or designing the heating and cooling systems in a home, you are trusted to do the job correctly to receive payment. However, it is rather challenging building the appropriate price for your product and/or service. Many companies experience conflict with selecting prices because they don’t want to overcharge and end up driving away customers.

Working in the plumbing industry takes more than just being handy. It is necessary to be aware of how to securely explore your way through a work-site and more importantly, your tools. Experts in the trade business maneuver around various problems and perils, to give the best plumbing solutions and encounters to customers.
