The past two years have forced every industry to navigate countless operational restrictions, delays, and shutdowns induced by the COVID-19 pandemic. Although still present, the ramifications of the pandemic have finally begun to subside — along with the restrictions on businesses. Now, those in the HVAC industry are gearing up to return to pre-pandemic performance levels.

Every business owner — and their team of talented technicians — deserves fair compensation for their services. However, compensation can only be as fair as the established price of services allows.
