The Digital Advantage

When you decide to retire your analog gauge and move to a digital manifold, you will quickly discover all kinds of efficiencies and advantages.

First, your measurements will be more accurate. You will also be able to get more work done in one day, which means more calls completed and more income for you!

One question we regularly receive is how to protect your digital manifold investment. One simple, but often overlooked action is always check your grounds. Before you put your manifold to metal, check that your grounds are set and clean. It is especially important to check the outlet/incoming power. Improper ground is dangerous for your new manifold, but more importantly it is dangerous for you! Make sure you are always safe on every call.

The Importance of Having Your Own Website for your HVAC/R Business - Part 1

What is a domain name and why do I need one for my HVAC/R Business?

A domain name is what people type into their browser to get to your website, such as www.Testo.com. It is also the place where your website resides and where search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) send people looking for what your HVAC/R business provides, such as your services, pricing, appointment-booking options, contact information and location.

A domain name of your own makes it simple for your customers to find your business on the web and also gives you a place where you can establish your own unique online presence. While social media sites such as Facebook have a place in your brands marketing, nothing takes the place of having a domain name of your own—which also lends itself to a more professional image.

An added, and very important, benefit of having your business’ own domain name is that you will have a domain-based email address, such as you@yourcompany.com. This adds to your brand’s credibility and also serves to advocate your business every time you send out an email.
