Regular interaction with customers in the field also positions you to stay informed about upcoming chiller replacement and retrofit projects, creating opportunities for future work. In addition, these service visits often present opportunities for incremental revenue through refrigerant top-off requirements. For example, a 100-lb drum of HCFC-123 can add approximately $3,500 to a job invoice. A service call that initially generates $2,500 in recovery revenue can expand to a $6,000 total invoice when refrigerant supply and related services are included.
