Is it time for you to find a way to shake up your workplace, to make sure people aren’t too comfortable with the way things are being done?

I’ve heard a lot about power bills, even with new a/c units. New units show increased savings, but it’s nothing like the mini splits of today.

Unless you do financial training, your employees will see the “stuff” that it takes to run the business, but will have no clue of the true costs.

A friend of mine runs the mechanical systems group at a data center. It’s a decent job and he likes it most of the time. But, like many people, he sometimes wonders if there might be a little greener grass or new horizons to be found elsewhere. So when a local school district let it be known they were looking for an experienced HVAC guy to take care of the systems at their brand-new combined high school/middle school, he looked into it. And the interview experience was eye-opening.

Often, we focus so hard on the technical skills when hiring that we miss the skill sets that can indicate excellent future employees.

Have you ever calculated the cost of lost opportunities in your plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical business?
