The Mechanical Contractors Association of
America just finished up its 2010 meeting here in San Francisco. The March 28-April 1 event
brought hundreds of mechanical contractors from across the country to listen to
prominent keynote speakers and participate in valuable educational
sessions.
While the weather in the city was not tourist
friendly (cold wind and rain), the educational sessions seemed to offer a
positive future outlook for the HVACR industry. Most of the seminar speakers
said the economy has finally bottomed out. And while business is still slow,
they said this is a great time for contractors to start planning ahead for the
business that is going to come rolling in.
So what does that
mean? Start taking advantage of low interest rates right now. Also, renegotiate
vendor contracts while vendors are looking to make cash. Get your workers
trained so that they are prepared to take on the new work load. And start
investing in new technology that is going to make all those job offers easier
to deal with.
The MCAA conference will be covered in an
upcoming issue of Snips.
