Technology makes the world a much smaller place.
It’s easy to be connected no matter where you are, which is something that has made my life a lot better. When I was coming up in this business, I needed to be centrally located. I had to be physically close to the business itself, because almost everything was hands-on. Now virtually every aspect of the business can be managed remotely, and with modern day wifi capabilities and private server farms, I can live way out in the country and still effectively run my HVAC business in the city. To be clear, I am not the type of business that sends HVAC techs out to people’s houses for repair calls. I don’t do repairs or service of any kind, in fact I only work with the HVAC contractors themselves. Where do you think these companies get their furnaces, air conditioners, and other equipment, anyway, you think they go to Walmart? Nope, they have to call a specialist HVAC manufacturer like me, who runs a couple of different factories and warehouses where this equipment is made and stored. So more or less I am a high end salesman, only I deal directly with HVAC businesses to provide equipment for them to resell. The truth of the matter is that I really don’t know the first thing about HVAC equipment, my speciality is just in business, and making money. When my air conditioner at home breaks down, I have to call a repair tech just like anyone else, the only difference is that they are selling what I make!
