Why HVAC Today is Different
If you’re a new reader, you might be wondering what makes High-Performance HVAC Today different. In short, this publication and the HVACToday.com website were created to provide a voice for the growing group of industry professionals who are setting a higher bar.
These individuals are not satisfied to just service or install HVAC equipment. They are the caretakers of the entire HVAC system who know that to deliver high performance, they must test the systems they maintain and install. These contractors document performance, diagnose problems, and offer verifiable solutions to their customers. They see it as both a responsibility and an opportunity to improve safety, health, comfort, and energy efficiency in the homes and buildings they touch.
Can you imagine watching a baseball game where there’s no scoreboard, no umpire to call balls and strikes, and everyone on the field is wearing the same jersey?
High-Performance professionals embrace NCI’s motto, ‘If You Don’t Measure, You’re Just Guessing.’ This approach goes far beyond the technical aspects of testing and improving HVAC systems. For many HVAC contractors, it applies to the performance of their businesses as well.
When you set measurable goals and track how you perform against those goals, you experience meaningful growth in virtually every aspect of your business. Your KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), should track marketing, lead conversions, closing rates, operational performance – virtually every aspect of your business.
Can you imagine watching a baseball game where there’s no scoreboard, no umpire to call balls and strikes, and everyone on the field is wearing the same jersey? There would be no way to know what inning they’re in, and who is winning. But how many HVAC companies’ operate today with virtually no scoreboard? Your tax return doesn’t count. It’s too late by then.
