Traveling from job to job, HVAC companies log lots of miles on the road. While more miles typically means more work, it also means higher gas and maintenance costs. To offset these added expenditures, many business owners are considering a more efficient fleet.
Matt Marsiglio, service manager, Flame Heating, Cooling & Electrical, Warren, Mich., refreshed his fleet in June with 45 new trucks, which increased the company’s average mpg from the 10-11 range to 12-13. Although it may seem insignificant, he said, the savings have already begun piling up.
