in THE MAIN WALL
Does anyone have a form they use when replacing a residential furnace or AC? I saw one once where they had drawings where the salesperson could fill in dimensions? Thanks

    Doc Rusk had a course I took back in the day. The form was there in the old binder that I got when I took the seminar. I wish I knew where that binder is now.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    It was a seminar on "How to run a HVAC business". the basic point was How to get started in the Service Agreement business". The number you needed to crunch to figure out how to price the different plans. there were over 20 different service agreements in that binder, all printed from an office copy machine on different colored paper. Heat pump, Oil furnace, Gas furnace, Air conditioner, Oil boiler, Gas Boiler, even separate ones for steam boilers. And there were different levels of coverage from maintenance only to discount to full parts and labor coverage. He has a very logical approach to making up that price.

    The second day was all about selling new equipment and there was 4 different furnaces on a 17 x 11 sheet of paper folded in half. Side one was customer info. Page 2 & 3 was all the whole house Load calc info with a place to draw the house and answer the U factor questions. (Load calc was done back at the office before computers) Then the last page was the 4 different furnaces Up, Down, Horizontal and Low Boy or basement furnace. Even had smoke pipe size. I recall, forgetting that all the time.
