Snow is in the forecast, and once again management has to decide how to operate a HVAC service company in the winter months. Take the time to review your procedures so decisions do not have to be made at the last minute. Make sure you have an up to date list of employees with accurate contact information. This will allow you to convey important company information to all of your employees. This can be accomplished by an email blast, or perhaps a recorded message that is sent out by phone. Establish procedures to make sure your technicians are prepared and capable of responding to emergency service calls. If you decide to limit your operations during a snow storm, make sure you can receive phone calls from your customers and have the capability of dispatching your service technicians.
I want to thank everyone who attended the February meeting at Westbury Manor. It was nice to see many of the existing members, as well as some new faces. Special thanks to John Franceschina and the staff from PSE&G.
