Service Call Flow

Every JL visit, same 16 steps. Same pro shows up every time.

JL HEATING & AIR — SERVICE CALL FLOW

⚠ Red flags — stop, do not decide alone

Gas smell · suspected heat-exchanger crack · CO reading · burnt or melted electrical

1) System OFF  →  2) Photo  →  3) Call Josh: 720-404-6680

Shutting it down is never the wrong call. In Phase 1 you make zero solo safety calls — that's the system working, not a failure.

Before the door
1

Pre-arrival

Read the HCP job notes. Text ETA if running behind. Know the customer's name before you knock.

2

Arrival

Park on the street unless told otherwise. Uniform squared away. Grab what you need in one trip.

3

Greeting

Knock, step back, smile. Name + company + why you're here. (Opener is on the Communication card.)

Understand first
4

Listen

Ask what they've noticed. Let them finish. What the homeowner says is real data — write it down.

5

Protect the home

Shoe covers on. Drop cloth under any work area. Their house, their rules.

6

Diagnose

Follow the sequence of operations. Measure — don't guess. If you're not sure, say so and find out.

7

Verify the diagnosis

Prove it before you say it. Can you make the failure repeat? Confirmed issue → confirmed fix.

Talk, then work
8

Explain findings

What I found → what it means → what I recommend. Plain language, no jargon, no fear.

9

Present options

All real options, no pressure. Prices come from the book or from Josh — never from memory.

10

Perform the repair

Approved work only. Nothing extra without a yes.

11

Verify operation

Run a full cycle. Watch it work. Never leave on an assumption.

Finish strong
12

Educate the customer

One simple takeaway they should remember, and the signals that mean "call us back."

13

Document

Photos before/after. Readings and work notes in HCP while you're still on site.

14

Collect payment

Per the invoice in HCP. Unsure about anything on it? Call Josh before collecting.

15

Leave it better than found

Area cleaner than you found it. Thermostat set back. Gates and doors as they were.

16

Follow-up

Flag anything for Josh's follow-up in the job note before you drive off.
