I recently returned from an ACCA convention where I enjoyed eating with a number of contractors while they poo poo'd, trashed, and otherwised bad mouth sevice agreements. Service agreements are the life blood of my business. My son works as an HVAC salesman in Oregon for a company who relies on a big box store for leads ... they have almost no service dept and no sevice agreements. And you are absollutely correct. My closure rate is 80% nearly 100% for service clients and his company is lucky to close 20%. Love the information on your site. Seriously, what else do you do?

You can get a couple of free proposals from reputable AC contractors and see what they say. A package unit would be the lowest first cost. For energy efficiency I would recommend using ductless mini-split systems or even VRF mini splits. It’s easier to run pipe than duct. The indoor units (one for each room) can be wall hung, recessed or even recessed in the ceiling. Another option would be floor mounted units. The condensing unit or units could be located out of sight outside. Another benefit of mini-splits is you have individual room control with a thermostat in each room. Get a proposal on both type systems. Daikin or Misubishi Sounds like that would work, but without looking I couldn’t say for sure.

The house is a 3 bedroom 3 level side split stick framed with vaulted ceilings and a 2:12 roof pitch. I am considering a rooftop unit on the lower roof and running ductwork along the ridge beam in both directions. Would this be a cost effective and efficient method of cooling this type of house.

This is often a coupon with an expiration date. Examples can be found at <a href="www.hvacsticker.com/postcards.html" rel="nofollow">HVAC Marketing Postcards</a> The coupon offer can be on the address side of the postcard. Giving the recipient a reason to call right away can increase the response rate from 1% t0 2.5%. Keep in mind that direct response marketing is a numbers game. Load your mailing list into a contact manager database to help you track the responses. Give each name a type code such as Prospect, Inquiry, or Customer. Then repeat the mailing every few months to the names still marked Prospect. Many people respond only after receiving the card several times. By mailing more than once, your prospects start to remember your name and logo. When sending a direct response marketing postcard, be sure to include a “call to action” offer.
