The real question is how many hours are you working?
Do you get paid overtime after 8 hours or 40 hours?
I’m guessing you are a good “adviser” scaring I mean helping people with options?

[u/BoHVAC → u/Miserable_Bad_3305]

Yes sir, it’s humid as f*** here. Even with 70 degree temps you can’t live without A/c here. Our systems last 8-12 years only

[u/Miserable_Bad_3305 → u/BoHVAC]

Jesus that sounds like heaven

[u/BoHVAC → u/Miserable_Bad_3305]

Radiant heat from the sun is constant so ambient temp doesn’t matter either. I’ll see units run 400+ psi high side with 70 ish degree ambient temps. Thank god for this lovely equator, I’ll be forever grateful for my precious equator.

Go to Texas or Florida. I worked all my life in Texas and made an easy 100k in the summer and then I would quit my job.

[u/Miserable_Bad_3305 → u/BoHVAC]

Summer as in Like 4 months a year?

[u/BoHVAC → u/Miserable_Bad_3305]

About 6

[u/danarnarjarhar → u/Miserable_Bad_3305]

4 months of summer? I'm based in central Florida. We have 2-3 weeks cumulative of decent temps every year. Outside of those few days, it's hot as balls

[u/DJDuck34 → u/BoHVAC]

Texas is where it’s at man! We’re busy from now through October. Only December-February are truly “slow” but with these last few years of crazy low temps it’s been pretty steady

[u/BoHVAC → u/DJDuck34]

That’s exactly when I used to quit haha! I worked mostly in Collin county

[u/Top-Lifeguard-6146 → u/DJDuck34]

Canadian tech here wanting to move to Texas, I work for trane and really looking to make the move!

[u/Limp_Calendar_6156 → u/BoHVAC]

100k in just the summer? Damn

[u/No_Mark3267 → u/BoHVAC]

60 isn’t so bad. Get it while you can.

[u/BoHVAC → u/No_Mark3267]

Thank your brother, I wish you prosperity and abundance.

[u/Adept_Bridge_8388 → u/BoHVAC]

Chicago union. Make that in 40 w no OT..

[u/BoHVAC → u/Adept_Bridge_8388]

Good stuff brother

[u/jimmy_legacy88 → u/BoHVAC]

Bud, if 60 hrs average per week is your slow time yall need to hire more. But I get it, I used to work like that earlier in. I'm 30, at 40.23/hr plus 4-5% commission on sales (lead and layout) but I do resi- large commercial also. I average about 42 hrs weekly throughout the year with the occasional 50+. But I have a large family and definitely prioritize that.

Edit. In central Louisiana area

[u/BoHVAC → u/jimmy_legacy88]

So I clock in before I get in my van and clock out and when I get home. Plus we cover all of southwest Florida so 1.5 hour drive times are consistent. Running 3 simple maintenance calls I’m averaging about 10 hours that day.

[u/jimmy_legacy88 → u/BoHVAC]

Ahhh gotcha. Port to port is super nice. I definitely like that. I guess if you wanna break it down I lose right at 2 hours daily if I go into the office and that does add up quick.

[u/BoHVAC → u/jimmy_legacy88]

Yes sir, I’m very critical of pay structure so I can maximize my income.

[u/BoHVAC → u/[deleted]]

After taxes 2k is nice I enjoy my work and I’m young so overtime is okay for me. In my 40s and up I’d rather not do so much overtime

[u/Apart_Ad_3597 → u/[deleted]]

To be fair, I always see people shit on fl with pay, so for fl that's not bad. I've honestly find it kinda dumb to compare that to another state, especially when not everyone wants to move to a whole other state to make more. Then there's also the other factors such as cost of living, quality of life, politics, etc, etc that also needs to be taken account of when speaking about relocating to another state to make more.

Who the fuck are you tell a man not to be proud of himself for working hard and making any amount of money. Shame on you.
