Inform Contractors
Ruth King of hvacchannel.TV said it is important that contractors learn more about zoning, including how to sell it and install it. “Contractors need to hear about zoning success stories from other contractors,” she added.ZMA member Mike Reilly of EWC Controls, Inc., supported King’s statement. “Our estimates are that only 10 percent of HVACR contractors are selling zoning.”
Milt Baum, owner of Keil Heating & Air Conditioning, told fellow ZMA members about the need to educate homeowners on zoning.
Inform Homeowners
Milt Baum, owner of New Jersey-based Keil Heating & Air Conditioning Inc. is also a member of ZMA.
