Happy Thanksgiving!  🦃🍁
@Javier Colmenero 😂 I feel you. I don’t have a sweet tooth like my family does. But today is an exception with all the deserts.
@Carlos Aguillon 🤜🤛
Maintenance Check List
Where can I get (online) a good standard maintenance check list for summer and winter that would be a good guideline?
@Javier Colmenero glad that helped. This reminds me of the White Elephant exercise I’ll be sharing in the community soon. It’s true. Lots of hvac business owners go into business knowing their skill, trade, but not business unfortunately. Reason why there’s lots of small business. So in essence, the business does not have systems, as a tech, I recommend you also ask for clarification from your management team. If they don’t have the process/system for building a sandwich, everyone is delivering what their ideal of a sandwich. Glad you are here asking these questions.

@Javier Colmenero what time zone are you in? Had to clean out kitchen fridge and fix it at home this morning. Took out all my day. Water line freezes inside unit, so turned on freezer we have in the garage to freeze some food.. Cleaned out kitchen fridge and thawed it. Cleaned it. Put food back in. All while entertaining my two boys. Happens to lots of Samsung kitchen fridges if one of you has one. Hehe
🪳iOS 26 Bug “Liquid Display”
So I originally thought that it was my phone because I’ve been using it to film YouTube videos that I’ll be running soon. A few 25+ min raw videos without editing on my storage I figured it had to be my phone acting funky. However Skool founder just shared this week that it isn’t Skool app but that it’s iPhone’s new liquid display update on iOS 26. So if you are experiencing this issue when using the Skool app and you are an iPhone user. Updating to a newer update will fix the problem. I’ve updated to 26.1 and I’m still having issues. Tho a ton less than before. Hoping 26.2 is out soon. Therefore despite wrapping up Q4 for my company, this was the main reason why I was very absent in the community the last 3 weeks, as everything I do in this community I do on my phone. Hard to be present when you can’t post and comment. See screen recording attached, I’m pressing post, Giff , cancel, to a reply comment and nothing is happening, See screenshots where my comment line was displaying on my phone. Sharing this as this may be happening to our iPhone users as they join with iOS 26. Do not want a bad user experience.

Fall/Spring Maintenance Times
How long should a good Fall and Spring maintenance take if done properly? Trying to gauge different companies expectations, 45 minutes, 1 hour, etc.....

@Javier Colmenero pardon de delayed response. If you tag me I’ll see you messaged in the group. For one story home with one AC System performing proper maintenance takes 1 hr. A townhome with one AC that’s 3 stories could take a bit longer going up and down the stairs, checking zone dampers, and thermostats. With more air filters to replace and carrying a ladder around to replace the filters. Parking outside the gates 4 townhome community. Etc. But we pay 1 hr for one AC System maintenance no matter how much someone takes. Task based pay. So if you’re more efficient and can do a small one ac system home in less than an hour you get paid a full hour. Less efficient techs still get paid the hour but we see it as they get paid to learn. We pay $50 for that one AC maintenance. Travel time is included. Every additional AC is 30 min. We pay $25 for each additional AC system in the home. Repairs made during maintenance we pay tech according to their hourly rate. Green tech we pay at $20. Experienced tech can be at $35 per hour up to $45 per hr. We don’t like scheduling more than two maintenance services per tech per day so that don’t speed through the PM and can perform additional repairs and upgrades. We like bragging about our monster well performed Preventative Maintenances. The ones that will make homeowners not have urgency services.
Let’s All Welcome Erica!
(Ladies First) I have started this community by personally inviting you all. I know most of you IRL! I met @Erica Leonor when she came to Houston to Teach CSRs (Customer Service Reps)/ business owners/ techs how to answer the phones. A class I definitely did not think I needed. Until I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t having trouble booking HomeAdvisor and Angi’s leads, BUT my sister and anyone else I’d hire would hate those leads or any “price shopper” leads. Took her class and learned I could teach a process (system) to anyone answering the phones. That I wasn’t special. I just hadn’t laid it out to my team on how to do this very important task. You’d be surprised how much we can loose $$$ not knowing how to answer the phones properly! We have stayed in touch through the years! Cancer Survivor! 💪 Soon to be mother of Two! 🤰👧 And the best in our industry nationwide on what she’s doing in our industry! 🏆 We need more Women In HVAC! 👩‍💻👩‍🔧 🎉🥳🎈🎊🎁🍾🎉🥳🎈🎊🎁🍾🪩🪅🎈🥳🎉 (I will be growing this community by running a YouTube Channel and some ads. You are all my founding members and have access directly to me).
