Building a successful HVAC company takes more than technical expertise. In this episode of Beyond the Truck Roll, we sit down with Jason Boehning, owner of Uniserve Air Conditioning, to discuss what it takes to grow an HVAC business while maintaining a strong culture, earning homeowner trust, and creating long-term customer relationships. Jason shares his journey from engineer to business owner, the lessons he's learned since acquiring Uniserve, and why finding technicians who genuinely care about people has become one of the most important parts of building his team. We also dive into membership growth, proactive maintenance, technician development, customer service, and how technology is helping contractors deliver a better experience while creating new opportunities for growth. Along the way, Jason shares stories from the field, lessons learned from scaling a home service business, and one unforgettable service call involving a snake inside an air conditioner.
