How to Start a Heating and Cooling Business

In general, heating and cooling business can be a lot difficult than other businesses out there especially on its starting point.

This is why you should be knowledgeable on how you will start this kind of business and be successful on it.

Start like Others

Starting this business can be a little more complicated and requires a hard work than putting up most other businesses as you should have enough HVAC training or employ someone who is equipped with complete supervisory training and management skills required by the business. The starting point should be like other business. You should ensure that the business is legal and registered with your state and your business has all the necessary and proper licenses for its operation. This would make your business legal.

The location of the business is not that important because the job is done outside your shop. Thus, you should have excellent advertising strategy so that you can obtain service calls from potential clients. Before the big opening day, you must put up some fliers in some local establishments in your area announcing the date of your opening. You should also advertise your shop in the yellow pages on your local as well as in the World Wide Web where it can reach as far as many people. In addition to that, you should have at least 2 phone lines so that customers can easily reach you. You can have one telephone line and one cell phone line. Remember that if a customer can’t reach you immediately then he or she would simply call other business offering the same service as you are.

Tools, Equipment, and Vehicles

Heating and cooling business requires transportation of used and new air conditioners and furnaces or heaters. This is why, proper tools, equipment, and vehicles are necessary. Heating and cooling units are big so you need a van or truck that can hold your units as well as your tools. Choose the right vehicle that would be suitable for your business size. Make sure that you are equipped with the appropriate tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, stripping tools, electrical wire, leak detector, as well as ohm meter. You should also have supplies of thermostats, duct tape, sockets, and wirings.

Uniforms are also essential and make sure that each one of your worker is on their uniforms before you go to clients’ home. This would serve as your identification before clients will allow you inside their homes. Your truck or van should also be marked well with your company name so that clients can identify it. This would make them trust you and this is very professional too.
