American Refrigeration Supply is offering an R-410A training and certification program, so that service personnel will understand the safe handling, proper charging, operating characteristics, proper applications, and general use of R-410A refrigerant.
As contractors with poor sales skills scramble to sell cold air at the lowest price, consumers who want to be comfortable are being underserved and undersold. This supply and demand imbalance creates an amazing opportunity for contractors willing to change what they sell and how they sell it.
Though your customers may be mellowing out in the last few days of summer, it's not too soon for you to begin thinking about fall tune-ups and the cold blasts of winter that are on the way. The NEWS' annual Residential Products Heating Showcase introduces the latest heating units available for the upcoming season.
"When mistakes happen - and we know they will - we make every effort to correct them promptly and to the customer's satisfaction," Dewey Jenkins said. "It is in those circumstances that going the extra mile is most important." It is this philsophy that made Morris-Jenkins Co. a success and earned the company a spot on The NEWS' 2006 Residential All-Stars.
Far more contractors involved in the replacement/add-on segment of the HVACR world responded to the search for entrants to The NEWS' 2006 Residential All-Star squad. Seven contracting businesses made the residential new construction squad and 22 contractors made the residential replacement/add-on cut.
Yes, most of the seven firms on The NEWS' 2006 Residential All-Star New Construction team are repeats from last year. As they say, when you are good, you are good - and one cannot disagree with this Select Seven.
The NEWS placed American Home Maintenance atop its 2006 Residential All-Star Replacement/Add-On team for the third consecutive year. American Home Maintenance's total replacement/add-on revenue for 2005 was nearly $5 million more than second-place finisher Morris-Jenkins Co.
In the days following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C., The NEWS spoke with some businesses that had been directly and indirectly affected. Five years later, the people involved in our original story - as well as others - speak about the impact of 9/11 and how they have moved forward.
Here's the dilemma. On an after-hours emergency, a customer says their water heater blew a temperature & pressure valve (T&P) and flooded the basement. The plumber makes the repair. But later the customer's insurance company says he's liable for damages. Why? His company sticker is on the water heater.
In the eyes of Terry Burd, one unmistakably necessary ingredient to be successful in the residential new construction market is making sure one has enough of the green stuff. This total was enough for Air Flow Designs Inc. to earn second place on The NEWS' 2006 Residential All-Stars - New Construction team.
