I inspect HVAC units for free, and it has been the best decision that our HVAC company has ever made.
I am an HVAC technician.
More importantly, I am the owner of an HVAC company. When you own an HVAC company, you know that you are going to get a decent amount of work. Everyone has an HVAC unit in their house, which means that literally, everyone in my town is a potential customer. However, as the owner of a small business, even an HVAC company, I am constantly trying to figure out how I can grow my business. Since my town is not getting any larger, my customer base is not larger. Furthermore, I am not the only HVAC technician in this town, so I have to compete with others too. One way that I have grown my business recently has been to offer free HVAC inspections. Most HVAC companies offer inspections for HVAC units for a small fee. These inspections offer the chance for an HVAC technician to inspect your furnace before you need to use it. HVAC technicians are able to identify any parts that will need to be replaced before they are broken, and they can save you time and money in the long run. Unfortunately, most people are not willing to pay for an HVAC technician to inspect their HVAC unit when they can just wait for the HVAC unit to stop working on its own. That is why I offer free HVAC inspections. I will come in and inspect your HVAC units for free. If something is wrong, then I can offer to repair them. More often than not, I have to replace the part, and I get money for it. I have found it to be a great way to get a steady income.
