Note to the HVAC commission employees

Whats the note to the HVAC tech that works for 33.5% commission of service ticket...?

If you're working for commission, maybe its time to go and get a real job.

I love customers, they help pay my bills and I provide a service. Its a nice relationship. That is the same attitude all HVAC related service used to have years ago

What I've seen for so many years is how the HVAC business corps and LLC's love to hire a gaggle of techs that really correlate to sales people, why tho? Because they ARE commission HVAC sales techs and in some cases, not even techs, just scammers and hackers.

Here is one I come across today.....

• Customer has issues with their Nest thermostat.
• NEST thermostat worked, fine yesterday.
• HVAC company came out the day it worked.
• HVAC company installed TWO UV air cleaners.
• HVAC company wired in said air cleaners to HVAC control circuit.
• NEST stopped working.
• Blamed bad wires, bad circuit boards, bad NEST....

Guess what the HVAC company whom installed the UV cleaners didn't do?
They didn't Disconnect and or blame the Air cleaner........

$3,000 for two air cleaners..... and "Service"........
Customer didn't need two UV air cleaners. That's another story as to why...

As soon as those UV air cleaners were disconnected, miraculously the NEST worked great...
Again... The NEST then worked GREAT.
You would think the HVAC company that was out could have thought it was the Air cleaners, wired into the low voltage control circuit causing the issue.... Nope, tech would have lost his COMMISSION!!!

Its a plague, HVAC up selling is a big problem.

-Homeowners, I always say.. Get second opinion and ask the tech if he works for a monetary commission.

-Techs, quit ripping customers OFF.
-Techs, not smart to wire up multiple low voltage ADD-ons for benefit of your WALLET.
You should know better, it causes issues.
