Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a HVAC equipment shop:

#1: Bill Spohn, founder of TruTech Tools, LTD:

We chatted with with Bill, founder of TruTech Tools, LTD ($2.29M/month). In our interview, Bill says:

We have learned the importance of listening closely to customers, as they have the answers for success in our business. They don't; always know exactly what they want, it is up to us to synthesize what we hear into a business proposition that works for all involved.

Additionally:

If you are just getting started, please be sure you understand the market you are getting into or you have a business partner that understands the market.

#2: Mike Luongo, founder of Total Home Supply:

We chatted with with Mike, founder of Total Home Supply ($375K/month). In our interview, Mike says:

Staying focused was the most important lesson I learned. We wasted time and money trying to be in too many categories in the beginning.

Additionally:

We learned to focus on the areas of the business where we excelled and bring in help for the rest. Once we brought in a digital marketing agency, it allowed us to focus on the higher-level issues.

When creating your company culture, make sure that you include a way to make a profit by finding something that gives you an advantage over the competition.
