Hi everybody,

Can you be more specific?

Are you searching for a pre-written PM contract?

Describe the units being included.

Are you meaning light commercial RTU's?

Glad you got a pending contract.

You might want to call it "planned maintenance". No guarantee that you are preventing anything. In most cases PM is a consumer scam intended to line the pockets of hvac companies and train rookies.

So Planned Maintenance Scam may be a better term.....PMS

from the HVAC's version of the John Birch Society-Steve.
Try Obrien Global for a inexpensive program your can customize. On a DOS based program but works OK. Also check out ESC's programs. There are others and I'm always looking for better ones. I'm not sure what all they do, maybe too much. But I'm still loking into them myself.
Steve, does it take more talent to fix HVAC/R equipment or more to keep it from failing? I know companies that don't even get out of their trucks to do the maintenance/"inspections', others who use it as a foot in the do to sell anything they can from systems to air purifiers to laundry soap-equally if not more who do a thorough job of cleaning and tuning to make it really profitable-allowing each following maintenance to be less time consuming. Making improvements, educating customers on using their equipment and other items.
I always wonder if you really practice what you "preach". Why not just close up shop and go work for the government-seems to be your calling. Office of Home HVAC Security?

A business that is not profitable will not stay in business long, or it will stay small.
1.) Don't be a whore. That is someone who will under cut every other companies prices just to get their foot in the door. Be competitive and do good work.
2.) Know your product and how it works. Most people do not know that the warranty on new equipment says that the warranty is valid only if service is done every season. That is a tool to use to come back two times per year.
3.) Most of the time you will be in the house with the woman of the house, teach your people to be clean, courtious and polite and keep their eyes focused above her neck.
4.) When some one says "thank you", you say, "you're welcome", not "No Problem". (That is one of my pet peaves.)
5.) Prices? we can not discuss that on this site, that's the law.
