Value Contrasts with Traditional Contractors
measureQuick Approach:
- "Our tools talk to each other and can't be fooled"
- Multiple sensors cross-validate readings
- Automatic fault detection algorithms
- Example: "We measure superheat and subcooling to 0.1 degree accuracy"
Traditional Approach:
- Analog gauges can be off by 5-10%
- No way to validate readings
- Miss subtle problems
- Example: "It's like using an old mercury thermometer vs. modern medical equipment"
Service Process
measureQuick Process:
- "Every visit follows the same thorough process"
- Can't skip steps or rush checks
- All findings documented with data
- Example: "It's like having a master technician checking every tech's work"
Traditional Process:
- Varies by technician
- Often skip important checks
- Limited documentation
- Example: "Would you trust a doctor who skips vital signs?"
Heat Pump Installation Focus
measureQuick Advantage:
- "Heat pumps are 300% efficient when set up correctly, but only 150% when done wrong"
- Proves proper operation in both heating/cooling
- Documents exact refrigerant charge
- Shows actual heat pump capacity vs. rated
- Example: "A 10% charging error costs you $300/year in extra power"
Problem Detection Comparison
measureQuick Detection:
- "Our software is like having a master tech with 30 years experience"
- Catches problems humans miss
- Shows exactly why something is wrong
- Example: "We can see small problems before they become big expenses"
Traditional Detection:
- Miss subtle efficiency problems
- Can't prove findings
- Often guess at causes
- Example: "It's like a mechanic guessing what's wrong without running diagnostics"
Handling Common Objections
Time Investment
When customers say "Why do you take longer than the other guy?":
- "Would you want your doctor to rush through your checkup?"
- "We take 30 minutes now to save you thousands later"
- "Proper diagnosis prevents repeat visits"
- "This thorough process is why we can guarantee our work"
Example Dialog:
Customer: "My last contractor was done in 15 minutes"
Response: "They probably just checked pressures. We're checking over 100 points to catch every possible issue. It's like getting a complete physical instead of just checking your temperature."
Cost Considerations
When customers say "Why does this cost more?":
- "Our process prevents expensive future repairs"
- "We find problems others miss"
- "This diagnostic prevents trial-and-error repairs"
- "Would you rather pay a little more now or risk a $3000 repair later?"
Example Dialog:
Customer: "Another contractor quoted half this price"
Response: "They're probably planning to guess at the problem. Our process proves exactly what's wrong and fixes it right the first time. Let me show you how..."
Annual HVAC Vitals Score™
When customers ask "Why do I need this every year?":
- "Track system health like annual medical checkups"
- "Catch problems before components fail"
- "Maintain peak efficiency to save energy"
- "Protect your warranty coverage"
Example Dialog:
Customer: "Can't you just check it when something breaks?"
Response: "By then, you've already wasted money on high bills and risked expensive repairs. Our Vitals Score catches problems early, just like checking your blood pressure prevents heart attacks."
