At every opportunity, the federal government seems to make our jobs harder. What can contractors do about it? Simple. Pity your customers and recognize each change as an opportunity.
So how do the feds impact the industry? For starters, they use the power of government to jack up efficiency standards at every opportunity, reducing consumer choices and our product offerings. Then, the standards are regionalized so that what is legal in one location may be illegal across state lines. This is especially problematic for contractors with service territories straddling state lines.
