Not only are the contractors happy with the hot summer weather and the additional service and maintenance calls, their employees are happy to log some extra hours and have a marked increase in their income. And the extra money is not the only reason service techs are happy, at least not the only reason why service tech John Mudd is smiling these days.
Mudd hosted a ridealong for The News in mid-August and gave some insights into the HVAC market in and around the Davenport community. Mudd works for Gabrilson Indoor Comfort Solutions, one of several major union contractors serving the commercial and residential markets in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. His boss is owner Tom Gabrilson, a man that Mudd is very happy to work for.
