Customers are smart. They put that replacement idea in the call just to get a capacitor replaced ASAP lol

Looked entirely reasonable to me. You provide the guidance, and the customer makes the decision. Maybe he'll just let it ride until it needs something more serious.

@KoolinwithKrauss 18 күн бұрын

Exactly!! I always say if it’s a compressor or coil/leak type job and out of warranty, just about doesn’t make sense. Other then that let it ride until the wheels fall off

I’m up in middle TN. Ran in the same thing the other day bad cap. Mine was $ 311 with trip, part, labor and taxes. But that is taking the moment and checking pressures and making sure it’s working properly. Always like watching those videos 🫡

@KoolinwithKrauss 17 күн бұрын

Exactlyyyy!! Absolutely, as long as you have a good SOP like that it is well worth the cost to determine if there’s any other issues to note and let the customer know, to prevent the callback!! Appreciate you brother be safe 🫡 🙏

good job man. I heard 945 for the capacitor and i was thinking ouch. Then i heard the 3 something at the end. That seems reasonable. I keep an extra cap at my house just in case. Im not a hvac guy but i can do the basics. Good vids. I like ur guys weekly podcast.

I like to throw small jabs out there 😆 but ya it’s about 290 for cap, we are flat rate, that includes the dispatch/diagnostic fee and cap! Appreciate it Rob, definitely a good time to shoot the breeze

Why you got rolled up dollar bills in your wallet lol jkjk great video love when the customer just wants to replace it like that looking forward to a install video? Do you do your installs or sub them out. Stay safe summers here and MTT make that time for the fam much respect from cali. Still haven't started my channel I'm working on it

🤣 🤔 appreciate you dude thanks, be safe in Cali! You’ll just have to record and let it ride. So we were subbing them out in the beginning. But for now we have been doing them ourselves to keep money in house, tho it was actually cheaper to have the subs do it. But we the new branding and all we want to be present on the jobs

It’s good to hear your price on that cap. I have my own business here in North Georgia and I’ve struggled with what to charge on a simple capacitor replacement. My price is just a hair below $300 so that lets me know I’m at least in line with other guys.

@KoolinwithKrauss 18 күн бұрын

Absolutely brother!! That also includes the dispatch/diagnostic fee… however you want to categorized it for yourself!! I’m glad you watched that portion and saw, we are currently in a beta through our CRM for regional pricing average. And for some we have to lower others we raise

@AaronPowellvox 18 күн бұрын

@@KoolinwithKrauss That makes sense. Yeah my price includes the service call fee and labor. I end up charging some customers less depending on their situation. I just did a second opinion for a lady that told me she was very broke but needed air, the other company told her that she needed a blower motor and quoted her $1200. I went there and found nothing but a bad thermostat. I charged her less than $200 for the whole thing.

@KoolinwithKrauss 18 күн бұрын

@@AaronPowellvox my man!!! Sometimes that’s all it takes. Unfortunately either the other company was just ignorant and didn’t know what they were doing, or would change the motor then on top of that charge for a stat after the fact
