We are thrilled to share that our SVP of Business Development, Jessie Barrack, was recently featured as an industry expert in this article from HVACR Trends, “Solving the HVAC Labor Crunch.”
This recognition reinforces our commitment to support contractors in the pressing challenges within the HVACR industry, especially in helping companies like yours navigate the ongoing labor shortage.
Addressing the HVAC Labor Shortage
The HVACR industry is currently grappling with a significant labor shortage, a situation exacerbated by the retirement of seasoned technicians and a lack of new entrants into the field.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the industry needs to add tens of thousands of new workers in the coming years to meet growing demand.
This shortage not only impacts service delivery but also limits the industry’s ability to adopt and implement new technologies effectively.
Our Proactive Approach
In the interview, Jessie highlighted our commitment at FieldEdge to helping our members navigate this ongoing labor crisis by modernizing their business practices.
Jessie sums up our goal to support contractors perfectly, saying “It’s not just about automation. It’s about creating a space for contractors to grow without hiring before they’re ready.”
Embracing Technological Advancements
Technology plays a pivotal role in modern HVAC systems. Used by over 4,000 contractors across North America, our HVAC software is easily adaptable to meet a wide variety of businesses: residential HVAC contractors, plumbing, electrical, and even light commercial operations.
Proactive Measures You Can Take Today
Jessie says it best, “This isn’t a dip. It’s a long-term structural shortage. The good contractors have figured out they need to recruit all the time.”
Here’s what some of the leading contracting businesses are doing right now:
- Build relationships with local schools before they need to hire
- Use social media not just to find customers, but to attract techs
- Market themselves as a great place to work: safe, stable and growth oriented
