Bubba,

There are 4 of us in the company, plus my wife does the bookkeeping
part time. (She Gets Paid For It by our company) We have health
insurance, paid vacation, paid holidays, profit sharing pension
fund/401K. The guys all take a truck home at night. We have a 2400
square foot shop. We pay an accountant to calculate our taxes at the
end of the year and do financials. We pay unemployment taxes. We have
a $2,000,000.00 Liability policy and have workers compensation
insurance. We carry $1,000,000.00 Vehicle insurance.

Most of our service calls are over 1/2 hour, but some fall under the
minimum charge for labor. I don't care what you charge, i charge what
I need to to make a profit, not what you need.

Our replacement systems have been 13 SEER and higher for years. We do
air balancing, mold prevention through humidity control, crawlspace
encapsulation, residential and commercial service work. We DO NOT do
new construction, not enough money in it.

I make more money than I ever did working for someone else, and will
make still more as the company grows.

Maybe you need to worry about yourself more instead of judging people
who do things that you can't.
