Summer is kind of a double-edged sword for HVAC contractors. On one hand, it’s among the busiest and, therefore, most profitable times of the year. On the other hand, it’s one of the most demanding times of the year, and technicians can easily work 70-80 hours a week. With those long hours, employee burnout becomes a concern, but that is not the only danger techs face in the field during the dog days of summer.
For many contractors around the country, heat stroke and heat exhaustion remain the top safety concerns for technicians.
