Frequently asked questions
How is an HVAC company structured?
A typical HVAC contractor splits into Service and Install as two parallel tracks under the Owner, each with its own manager. A Dispatcher coordinates the trucks, a CSR books calls, and an Office Manager handles billing and admin.
What is a comfort advisor?
A Comfort Advisor sells full system replacements (the Install side, not the Service side). They walk the home, run a load calc, and present financing options. Most successful companies separate sales from technicians once Install volume passes about 8 jobs a week.
Should service and install report to the same manager?
No. Service is reactive and short-job. Install is scheduled and multi-day. Mixing the two under one manager makes both worse. Separate them at about 8 to 10 total field staff.
