I often ask myself, how much is too much in one day?? At what point does it become inefficient to add more calls in a single day. Obviously taking care of the customer is high priority, but at what expense? These are the things I think about as the calls are rolling in. This HVAC industry is very demanding, but it is our job to regulate quality and thoroughness. What are your thoughts? How many service calls in one day is the right amount for you?? Let me know down in the comments!

Been in the trade about 10 years Got licensed and working for myself the last year roughly. The days you are backed with calls/ jobs are rough but the money makes it worth it. Plenty of days out running calls from 7am-8pm Than in my office sending out estimates from 8pm 10-pm To wake up the next day and do it all again. What most of summer looks like for us "One man shows" It has its ups and down however nothing is like working for yourself. No more watching your boss go on vacation every month while you bust your ass everyday for a 2 week vacation every year. No shitty co workers you have to cover up for or apologize for to customers. Especially when your the "lead" tech and get sent to every angry customer or every afterhours difficult job. No more nasty office girls who hate their life and take it out on the techs. My advice to anyone in the field , Put your time ,get licensed and go on your own.

As technicians its easy to become tunnel visioned on just fixing the problem you were called there for. Remember you get paid for the problems you solve, not the amount of calls you run. Personally I find running 3-4 calls allows me time to do a thorough evaluation of the entire system and fix the multiple problems most systems have, but the customer is unaware of.

My GM doesn't think that she's burning us out. She was hired last year and has no knowledge or experience in trades. She wants us to run as many calls as possible because "there's money left on the table". I spent 3 hours on a maintenance, because customer was 2 lbs low on charge. So I and the new tech did a leak search starting at the evap coil working back to the condenser, found a bad Schrader and fixed it/ charged for refrigerant and labor. She was mad I only brought 460 and spent 3 hours. I told her now we won't have a call back on it.
@AtticusWayne
@AtticusWayne Жыл бұрын
Yeah. In a perfect world i’d say 6/7 calls with attention to detail is a happy career. But when I was residential, 10 was a slow day and it didn’t give me the time I needed to learn the systems properly and set me up to take shortcuts I never thought I would. You can have the best intentions and become a product of your environment. My advise is to tell any hvac company you’re looking to work at that you want the time to not only learn but to do your job properly once you have learned. If a company isn’t willing to be patient enough to let you become a proper technician then they aren’t respecting you enough for you to work for them

Gotta get in with the right company. That evap job would of been my whole day. If my torch comes off the truck, that's an 8 hour day. Which means I roll in at 9am and leave at 2. Also stay away from residential. Did that for 2 years. Nothing pissed me off more working 8-9 hours installing a furnace and a/c, by myself, and then being the on call and having three calls waiting for me. Those companies run you ragged. Go commercial. I do my one service call a day, maybe change a filter, drive to the parts house, do some grocery shopping, whatever. The customer leaves me alone, I dont go over prices or have to fight to collect the check. And I'm not even union. All my union buddies tell me I work too hard! 23.5 years in HVAC and I love it.

You do a good job of being balanced it seems to me. Good job! I am a tech also. I was a little surprised that you didn't check the new part before you cut the old one out. Maybe the old one was doing nothing anyway so it didn't matter. I have figured out to compare before I disable the existing one because sometimes it's the wrong new part and t he old one is still working part of the time. I'm sure you can figure out how I learned that 😌

If you ets in the next few years make sure to check out the UA VIP program. It’s mostly an army thing, but they train all branches. Your last 4 months of active duty they train you on pipe fitting, sprinkler fittings, or in your case you could go HVAC, then they guarantee job in any city of your choice when you get out. You can make anywhere between 32 to 55 an hour depending where you go. Way better than Private pay!! Good job 👍🏽

20 service related calls in a day during the winter here is the north east is the max I have done in the 23 years as an oil heat/HVAC tech. Everything since then for number of calls in a day is a walk in the park. That was a long Saturday. 6am-9pm. I called another tech out to cover the last of the 22 that came in that day. The only other day that was that bad was in the middle of a blizzard. Worked the normal 8 hrs., then had an hour to eat supper, back out until 12am, sleep for an hour then back out 1am until 8:30am the next morning, back home to sleep for 4 hrs. then back at it until 6pm. Those days are far and few but they can and do happen. These two particular days were 8 years apart. I think anything over 8 calls in a day can be a bit much if it is everyday.

I used to not care when I was younger. 12-21 calls in a 24 hrs period working overnight. Now I'm 40 and the max I'm gonna do is 5. I'm just done with it. People want me around cause I'm older and can have tons of experience. So far in my career I believe I'm somewhere around 44,000+ service calls. Man it shows. The young bucks love having me around they feel bullet proof when they're with me or if they need to call me. I'll be starting up an affordable training academy for HVAC hopefully by March. I bought some land with a 20x30 shop on it. At this age I like training the new guys more than I like running calls. I had a really good lead tech train me when I was younger and saw a lot of senior techs that were just mean to the new guys. I never wanted to be like them. We need the new guys, we need the young bucks, they make the pack whole. If anyone is interested I'm in Austin TX

That's why I love working where I do we get our first call and have no idea about what's next that way we take our time aren't rushing and can focus on the customer and their needs. If one call takes all day No one is getting mad at me. They provide a nice fat hourly wage and a great commission add on so no pressure to sell. Only thing they pressure us about is to provide the absolute best service. Our prices reflect that tho. Thats dever for you.

How many call's are to much for a day? Depends really on what the calls are for. I do industrial refrigeration, I have a friend that own's a HVAC company on the weekend's I am usually off, if he get's swamped I'll jump in one of his truck's and lend a hand. I'll start at 8am and buy 1 or 2 pm I have all ready banged out 12 or 13 calls. Bad condenser fan motor 20 min's check system pressure's I am out, duel capacitor's fix check system pressure's and I am out. It takes me longer to use his apple billing laptop s#it then the repair. ( I am over 50 not techie like you guy's). Having the right tool's speed's up the process. You new guys' here is an excellent tip for you, get a cheap fan hub puller and a impact drill . We will use a A/C for this example, you have the top off of the unit the shaft is all rusty your like dam! I'll just get a new blade with the motor now you have to run to the supply house for the blade. Not me, quick sanding of the shaft put on the hub puller get out my socket and impact drill two pull's of the trigger blade is off PERIOD remember this for the rest of your career that goes for the blower motor also.

What I don’t understand is when your tripping a breaker on the condensing unit why you would change breaker should have gone through connections and contacts in contactor and Ohmed out compressor. Breaker was doing it’s job

First thing I do when the customer says tripped breaker on the CU is meg the compressor to ground. But in all fairness, we all get that tunnel vision including me, and don't look outside the box sometimes. It's called learning and gaining experience. You're always learning something new everyday I don't care how long you've been in the trade. Thanks for the channel Zack and keep em coming..

He changed the breaker because it wouldn't reset so he could at least get power on and check the starting of compressor, im sure he checked some basic wiring and capacitors, it wasn't tripoing everytime. I had one that did this checked everything couldn't find nothing conpressor ohm out fine, start cap and run cap was good. Let it run, checked disconnect, checked the wires from disconnect to crawl space before it goes up the floor into panel box and could see a burned spot were someone nailed a staple too tight and it finally rubbed through and would intermittently short to the staple. A bitch of a crawl too. Have you run into that often

The tripped breaker one. I would put the megohmmeter. Sounds like compressor might be going bad. I had one it would trip every two months sometimes ones a month until I bought a megohmmeter and I have been testing them like that ever since. Just in my opinion.
