I own a small chain of restaurants, all of which are in a warmer climate.
As a business owner, it is crucial that I do whatever I can to ensure the comfort of my patrons, as well as my employees.
Part of maintaining comfort includes the cleanliness of my restaurants, comfortable furniture, and most importantly, high functioning air conditioning. Unfortunately, last summer, the air conditioner failed in one of my restaurants. It wasn’t long before customers and employees all noticed how hot and uncomfortable it became in the restaurant, as soon as the air conditioner stopped working. When the manager called to tell me about the problem, I immediately contacted the commercial HVAC technician who comes to perform maintenance on my system, but it took him a while to get to the restaurant. In just under an hour, the restaurant was cleared, and there were no customers. Anyone who walked into the restaurant was immediately turned off by the warm temperature. The sales that day were the lowest that they had been in months, and I was beginning to get very frustrated. It only takes one bad experience for people to turn to the internet to write bad reviews of restaurants. Fortunately, the HVAC technician was able to quickly identify the problem, and had the air conditioning back on in about an hour. If you own a business, it is very important to make sure that you have a licensed commercial HVAC provider who you can trust to make sure that your air conditioner problems don’t cost you your business.
