Some of the ways HVAC contractors take to improve employee morale and create company culture bring an unrealized risk of workers’ claims and other liabilities.
Crime is a growing problem in many parts of the country, and it’s affecting HVAC contractors. Thieves are stealing tools out of work trucks, along with the catalytic convertors — and in some cases, they are stealing the trucks. Thieves are also targeting the copper and other metals inside of HVAC units, and sometimes even the units themselves.
Add “increased risk of theft” to the growing list of concerns HVAC contractors face as they grapple with a shortage of supplies and equipment. Both HVAC equipment and service vehicles prove prime targets for thieves.
Equipment still fails like it did before 2020, but depending on your customer base, scheduling jobs can be a little more frustrating since the start of the pandemic.
