uncledj Posted August 6, 2015 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2015 I'm one of those "HVAC Guys"...I know exactly what you're talkin' about. I never thought about it in any way other than cleaning as a HVAC Service issue, but if you can get it done for less than what a service tech would charge, .....you may have something there. Best of luck to ya with your new enterprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted August 6, 2015 Share #7 Posted August 6, 2015 glad to hear you got yourself some work it's kind of a bummer having to go without being needed and with a feeling that nobody wants you.not a pretty job job that you picked out for yourself but it should provide what is needed, a need fulfilled for you and a blessing to those you serve i don't think that i will be applying for employment with your company anytime soon but at least it better than having to clean up behind some of the folks that visit these places and leave their junk behind wishing you the best in your endeavor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear things are turning around for you and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, as long as the light isn't a train coming! Keep the faith and if you need help just ask.

pmelah Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share #13 Posted August 7, 2015 thank you everybody for the thoughts and prayers Bob yes i do need help but Marcarl said he was not appling for a job lol and uncledj i knew you would know about this and yes i have figured a way to just offer a cleaning service alone on these units my company can go in and clean the coils drain pan and sleves on all the units on one visit versuse going out to clean the unit when it stops working while i am in there i can inspect it and have the hotel call out certified hvac techs to fix it if there are other problems like refrierant leaks or bad swithes and boards since im not certified to do that work (at least not yet) but i can clean the units and will be getting mfg certified for each mfg like goodman ge in the next 6 months to 1 yr. as for help im trying to raise the rest of the funds i need thru gofund me and SBA loan but my first job will allow to start without an SBA loan i prefer to be debt free rather than a slave to the banks but sometimes you have to make the sacrifice for the short term for the long freedom of owning your own business and being debt free i just wish i would of done this back in the begining of April instead of the end of may i would already be working lol i do have some of the equipment just waiting to get the rest to start it will indeed be a good adventure that i look forward to and will feel the need to be needed again the good thing about this is i will be able to travel all over the country with this again thank you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
