How Many Calls In ONE Day Is Too Much??

How Many Calls In ONE Day Is Too Much?? | HVAC Life

I often ask myself, how much is too much in one day?? At what point does it become inefficient to add more calls in a single day. Obviously taking care of the customer is high priority, but at what expense? These are the things I think about as the calls are rolling in. This HVAC industry is very demanding, but it is our job to regulate quality and thoroughness. What are your thoughts? How many service calls in one day is the right amount for you?? Let me know down in the comments!

Been in the trade about 10 years Got licensed and working for myself the last year roughly. The days you are backed with calls/ jobs are rough but the money makes it worth it. Plenty of days out running calls from 7am-8pm Than in my office sending out estimates from 8pm 10-pm To wake up the next day and do it all again. What most of summer looks like for us "One man shows" It has its ups and down however nothing is like working for yourself. No more watching your boss go on vacation every month while you bust your ass everyday for a 2 week vacation every year. No shitty co workers you have to cover up for or apologize for to customers. Especially when your the "lead" tech and get sent to every angry customer or every afterhours difficult job. No more nasty office girls who hate their life and take it out on the techs. My advice to anyone in the field , Put your time ,get licensed and go on your own.

Gotta get in with the right company. That evap job would of been my whole day. If my torch comes off the truck, that's an 8 hour day. Which means I roll in at 9am and leave at 2. Also stay away from residential. Did that for 2 years. Nothing pissed me off more working 8-9 hours installing a furnace and a/c, by myself, and then being the on call and having three calls waiting for me. Those companies run you ragged. Go commercial. I do my one service call a day, maybe change a filter, drive to the parts house, do some grocery shopping, whatever. The customer leaves me alone, I dont go over prices or have to fight to collect the check. And I'm not even union. All my union buddies tell me I work too hard! 23.5 years in HVAC and I love it.

As technicians its easy to become tunnel visioned on just fixing the problem you were called there for. Remember you get paid for the problems you solve, not the amount of calls you run. Personally I find running 3-4 calls allows me time to do a thorough evaluation of the entire system and fix the multiple problems most systems have, but the customer is unaware of.

My GM doesn't think that she's burning us out. She was hired last year and has no knowledge or experience in trades. She wants us to run as many calls as possible because "there's money left on the table". I spent 3 hours on a maintenance, because customer was 2 lbs low on charge. So I and the new tech did a leak search starting at the evap coil working back to the condenser, found a bad Schrader and fixed it/ charged for refrigerant and labor. She was mad I only brought 460 and spent 3 hours. I told her now we won't have a call back on it.

@AtticusWayne 10 ай бұрын

Yeah. In a perfect world i’d say 6/7 calls with attention to detail is a happy career. But when I was residential, 10 was a slow day and it didn’t give me the time I needed to learn the systems properly and set me up to take shortcuts I never thought I would. You can have the best intentions and become a product of your environment. My advise is to tell any hvac company you’re looking to work at that you want the time to not only learn but to do your job properly once you have learned. If a company isn’t willing to be patient enough to let you become a proper technician then they aren’t respecting you enough for you to work for them

Working mostly restaurants for a few years was excellent, and working for a plumbing/HVAC helped as well. So many techs get a narrow field of experience, limiting their options. I now service everything in a restaurant, boilers, dehumidifiers, pool heaters, and HVAC from mini-splits and pack units to 30k CFM air handlers.

I told my boss that I wasn't getting enough sleep and he said that he didn't care. I fell asleep half way to Dallas and wrecked the company truck.

20 service related calls in a day during the winter here is the north east is the max I have done in the 23 years as an oil heat/HVAC tech. Everything since then for number of calls in a day is a walk in the park. That was a long Saturday. 6am-9pm. I called another tech out to cover the last of the 22 that came in that day. The only other day that was that bad was in the middle of a blizzard. Worked the normal 8 hrs., then had an hour to eat supper, back out until 12am, sleep for an hour then back out 1am until 8:30am the next morning, back home to sleep for 4 hrs. then back at it until 6pm. Those days are far and few but they can and do happen. These two particular days were 8 years apart. I think anything over 8 calls in a day can be a bit much if it is everyday.

You could just bypass the board with a 2 pole contactor for the blower and wire up low voltage with common and green. Wire up Low voltage with reversing valve directly from tstat to condenser board and cooling.

The most i did was 84hrs in a 6 day period, and i've worked from 6am to midnight. I figured if i'm going to work this many hours, i'm going to quit, go back to auto body, and start a side business. there was quite a few calls that turned out to be the emergency switch was turned off by someone trying to turn off a light switch thats right next to it. and i really loved it when the company didnt fill someones tank. Id have to go out all hours of the night because the company i worked for screwed up. im still glad i i did it though because now can fix my equipment

Thanks for posting another “day in the life” video. It’s always a pleasure to see your techniques. I have the SMAN wireless and the wireless probe kit. Do you find you usually just use the wireless probe kit with Measure Quik for checking charge, etc? The wireless probe kit is certainly less bulky.

@QualityHVACR 4 жыл бұрын

Yes I typically use the wireless set up most of the time. I very rarely use the SMAN.

I think as long as you can be consistent and thorough then do as many as a day will allow. I did 10 last week in a 12hr day. I've seen guys spend all day on 2 calls and still have a call back after. It depends on the tech.

as an appliance service tech, it is really joyful to watch other tradesman doing a good work. but one recomendation to you, get some knee caps, those will save your knee for the long run, when I first started in my trade my journeyman told me that knee caps is so much more important than even a good drill, after 5 years to be on the road, I agree with him and now I never work without one, it is so much more comfortable to have it on.
