Benchmarking financial figures

John R. Hall

We have an interesting survey online at our website (www.achrnews.com). The topic is “What are the benchmarks for a successful HVAC contracting business?” I would like to assemble a summary of what our readers (and you) believe are the key business expenses of an HVAC contracting business and what the percentage breakdowns should be. This information could serve as a foundation for contractors who are looking for some benchmark numbers to base their own budgets on. It is not scientific, but the opinions of your peers can be very helpful. And having a grip on financials can make the difference between a successful business or one that struggles to turn a profit. The survey is available by clicking on “surveys” in the upper left portion. It will be online until tax day, April 15th. In advance, thanks!

Hopefully,

this will NOT be one of those surveys that we participate in; but are then denied access to the results because we are not paid "subscribers" to the ACHR-NEWS?

John R. Hall

Not at all Ken

Any participants will get a copy of the article and all others only need ask!

However the link I used finally is:

A mos anoying pop-up ad however prevents the viewer from seeinth the friggen questions! Rheem is the offender at this time.

Anyway around that?

Sorry John

I can't get past the Rheem pop-up.

Let me know when I can read questions one or two and I'll go back and respond.

Until then, I don't have time to play.

John R. Hall

Sorry, too

I've e-mailed our web editor to look into that annoying ad.
