"When you're taking a huge step with your company you lay awake at night worrying if you've made the right decision! Glenda & Margie managed to take away a lot of that worry for me instead...I'll be calling them back for sure...knowing they are there to help eases my mind!"

"I have 30 years in the plumbing field and in business overall. I have also taught technical classes for over 10 years as well. My wife and I attended one of your seminars, and my wife told me that if she closed her eyes during the seminar, she thought I was up there talking. The sad thing is that many contractors can't or won't grasp on to your message or priorities. I was very impressed with your presentation and wanted to let you know that you are on the right track."

"After doing my homework and researching all the flat rate pricing companies I could find, it became very clear to me that Jamie and his staff have my best interests in mind. After speaking with Jamie personally, I decided to "go all the way"; I purchased Flat Rate Plus in March 2004. The decision was easy; MrHVAC has all the tools necessary to smoothly run my company. They truly cover all the bases!"

AIR, Inc.
Wayne Krasnow wrote:

"I am an HVAC contractor for 14 years (Business Owners) I was a negative $30,000 net profit in 1998. Since I went to Flat Rate Plus, I have been profitable since then. I have experienced a much easier life since then and I am trying ot help other HVAC business's do the same.

I am doing a lot of profit consulting with other companies and I recommend they go to your flat rate system and buy other products of yours. I learned a lot from Jamie in the past 6 years and I want to spread the word.

So far this year: Our Accounts Payable is 1/3 of what it was for the past 5 years and our accounts receivable is about 1/2 of what it should be due to our COD (cash on delivery) policy. Oh yeah, and a 17% net profit (before taxes). For a slow starting year, that's not too shabby."

"Wanted to drop you a line and say how impressed we have been with your software. After I received your initial training course I have only had one question on how to accomplish something within the Flat Rate Plus program that I was unable to figure out on my own. That is what I love so much about Flat Rate Plus... the software is so user-friendly I can navigate easily through the program to accomplish what we want to do (keep in mind... I am not very computer savvy). We are just about to begin testing with a few of our technicians and are excited to see the results. I'll keep you posted. Take care."

"We saw you at the MrHVAC booth one year at Comfortech and then another and another....flat rate was the talk of all the conferences and in all of the industry literature. All the successful contractors told us they were using flat rate. Yet, for reasons that sound foolish NOW, we were resistant to make the change from "the way we had always done it" to something new. MrHVAC's Flat Rate Plus software finally got us to take the plunge..." Click here to read the entire quote

"Jamie Leichter changed my husbands way of thinking. Yes for two years I said the same things, but it takes a meeting away from the office and field, and a man.

"James, just wanted to let you know how happy I am with all your products. We purchased many products together about a year ago. Flat Rate Software, and several systems that you have created. The last one that we just dug into was the performance review system. What an eye opener. I would have never imagined how useful this could be letting three people fill out the review including the person being reviewed."

"I just moved from an HVAC company where we use flat rate pricing, to an electrical company which uses time and materials billing. What a hassle and profit killer T&M has been. In comparison we have to subscribe to an expensive invoicing program, processing is delayed at five days, whoever we hire for invoicing must know or learn some electrical, customers are trying to tell me how much an hour our company is worth, and they refuse to pay for part acquisitions.

The average time I spend on damage control per incident is about 40 minutes on the phone (20 minutes hearing the complaint, 20 minutes calling back fixing the complaint), and 40 minutes off the phone meeting the electrician that did the work, and strategizing my justification or imagining negotiations, which will only result in the lowering the price, all to retain the customer for the future, if I'm lucky.

Fact being, the company's services is worth at least $20.00 more an hour to properly fuel growth and the employee retention benefits. I just don't have enough staff to handle damage control the potential complaints of a raised open hourly rate. Right now T&M is the greatest inhibitor of future growth, and it is my number one problem. Once I found the flat rate system [Flat Rate Plus], I ordered it next day air."
