Labor Intro VideoPlease be sure to have a look at our new labor pricing introduction video (to the right). This 2.5 minute video asks the question "Why do other industries charge so much more than HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies do and what can we do about it?"
FREE Labor Cost Worksheet
With the help of James R. Leichter (Mr. HVAC), UMKC's school of business, Small Business and Technology Development Center (SBTDC), Aptora Corporation has developed an accurate and easy to use labor cost worksheet. This worksheet will allow service managers and contracting business owners to calculate the proper retail price of labor in just minutes without advanced accounting knowledge or financial reports. We now include a spreadsheet version (MS Excel required) in addition to the paper worksheet. You may get it here.
New Labor Intro Video
We have completely redone our very popular video called An Introduction to Flat Rate Pricing. This 41 minute video is a comprehensive overview of flat rate pricing. The intended audience is service technicians, service managers, and owners of HVAC, plumbing, and electrical companies. See for yourself if flat rate pricing is appropriate for you and your contracting/service business.
