When I first began covering the HVAC industry almost eight years ago now, I was one of few women — if there were any others — in the room. Since that time, I have started seeing more and more women at the various industry events I attend, and I am overjoyed. 

From a very young age, we are taught the importance of having a successful career. Whether it’s our parents or a teacher, we know that by the time we reach adulthood, we will have a job. But not every job is created equal.

The home service industry is constantly evolving. Although they’re based on traditional trades like HVAC, plumbing, electrical and piping, home services are also expanding into less charted territory. Today’s homeowners are modernizing and aspiring to more eco-friendly living situations supported by radiant heating, geothermal and solar thermal energy.

Selling your plumbing company can be one of the hardest things in the world to do. You have spent your life building up your company, making it into a profitable venture and now, it is time to sell.

The pandemic has disrupted the world and how business today is done. Even in the construction industry, things have been disrupted and modified. 

Qualified leads are not cheap. As your plumbing business grows, it becomes obvious that upselling and upgrading materials is a skill that you need to develop to get the most out of your deals.

There’s no question that the demand for home improvement projects is red hot.
