Introduction

Did you know that there are roughly 166,000 HVAC Contractors throughout the U.S.?   Studies show they ALL share a single common goal.  They want to be successful --- for their families, their employees, their customers, and naturally for themselves. 

This sounds a lot like you and your company doesn’t it? 

Unfortunately, as reported by the US Census bureau, the average HVAC contractor makes only 2.3% Net Profit Before Taxes.   Now that’s powerfully close to making no money at all.  Therefore,10% of all HVAC companies easily experience serious cash flow problems, that result in some suffering business failures. 

It is true that most contractor owners and managers who get into the business have little experience or training in the BUSINESS of HVAC contracting, marketing, or selling.  Most are technicians who know how to work in the business.  Many owners make a fatal assumption: if you understand the technical work of a business, you understand a business that does that technical work.  The reason this assumption is so fatal. is that it just isn't true.  In fact, it's the root cause of why most HVAC contractors have poor profitability and needless business failures! 

What will make the ultimate difference between the success or failure of your HVAC contracting business, is first and foremost, how you think about your business, as opposed to how hard you work in it.  Let's think about improving you and your family's life through the development of a business built on extraordinary business processes; and all about getting a life that's yours. 

With this new thinking, let’s explore these questions that contractors typically ask us when they begin thinking about improving their business and their life.

  • How can I get my business to work, but without me?
  • How can I get my people to work, but without my constant supervision? 
  • How can I standardize my business in such a way that it could be replicated and run smoothly every time?
  • How can I own my business, and still be free of it?
  • How can I spend the time doing the work I love rather than the work I must do?
