Selling my 1st a/c filter service

I got the call while in Vegas to do a quick flatwork cleaning (one of my normal accounts, so I didn't mind) as soon as I got in to have the place looking extra good for some vip's.

After pulling up at 12:30 I told the manager that I have a good working relationship with about my newly acquired skills in the a/c filter & coil cleaning field. She was happy to have someone she could trust & call anytime. She told me what they paid to have paper filters installed monthly and wanted me to take a look at what they had. After doing the flatwork, I scoped out 2 new Carrier units. I popped the panel on one and saw 4 paper filters stuffed in with a 2" gap in between 2 of them. I grab one to pull it out & the alarm starts in. Good thing crewmembers were inside scrubbing things down.

She just laughed it off knowing how embarrased it made me, and told me to she wanted to talk to her bosses that were gonna be in today about doing a 2 month filter service for stores in the mid-state area.

I explained to her that the price I qouted her was low because I am already there doing the flatwork so I don't have to charge for travel time, so the only way to get the best savings for the other stores was a package deal for both services.

Proof that the more you know, the more you're worth. Cha-ching, all thanks to Tony!

This is Tony, on Jim's computer, I just typed a long congratulations and then realized I was on Jim's login. Congratulations Jason, We drove Jim's rig back all day yesterday and got in last night. I'm headed to the airport to fly back home in a couple of hours. After about 3 days of sleep I think I'll be ready to go back to work :)
 
Ok, got my own login now.

Jason, was that a motion detector alarm. I'm seeing a lot of those lately with all the copper thefts.

Each unit by code has to have a fire alarm in it. There are two videos on youtube that show you how to reset them if there is no fire. I've never had one of those go off, but there have been times where I've pulled out filters so dirty I thought they were going to go off just because of all the dust.

Congrats again.
 
Yes indeed motion. The manager told me it was to prevent entry to the building thru the a/c vent system:confused: The theft issue would seem more logical, but I've seen many pics & heard stories of crooks coming in thru the KE system so why not try the a/c too...
 
Great job Jason! That is cool.

I talked to the PM that I do a lot of work for and told him about my new skills and he remembered that he has contracts for all that stuff but I did tell him that I would like to bid on that stuff when it is time.

I asked if I could go up on the roofs to take a look and he told me not to right now but when the time is right he would let me know and then I can.

I was very discouraged when I heard that but after talking to Tony, I got hope again, Thanks Tony.
