Questions for HVAC Business owners?

[jackblue22]

Hey guys, I got a question. What is the most profitable service for a residential HVAC owner to do? I would assume its AC/Heating Furnace replacement/installs. I'm doing a research paper on HVAC businesses for my college degree thats why im asking. Thanks in advance!

If you aren't good at any of them, the answer is; none of them.

the most profitable service is called having common sense! if you dont know how to do the most basic checks, understand the SOO inside and out and know how to correctly install the systems you will not make any real money.. when you do the right thing, you will not need to advertise...

The most profitable part of a business is different for every business.
I make most of my money on service. And that is because I truly enjoy doing service. If I enjoyed installing as much then I'd make more money on that end.
However I'm a one man show.
For most larger companies there is better profit in installing and selling new equipment. And that's because the majority of the techs in this business don't understand how to actually fix things. So lots of wasted time and callbacks when doing service.
For an installation the techs just follow the instruction booklet and pipe the unit to code.....
Not much thinking or talent required. But that reference on installation is based on the larger companies where the techs are just a number
