In this episode of the Greg McAfee Show, Greg exposes the hard truth about home warranty work—and why it’s one of the biggest traps small HVAC and service companies fall into. He breaks down how warranty jobs keep you busy but broke, explaining why these customers aren’t truly yours and how this kind of work prevents you from building a strong, profitable brand. Greg also dives into how low-margin warranty work hurts your ability to attract top talent and how what once helped your business survive can later stunt its growth. Instead, Greg shares what to focus on: reputation, customer experience, and brand ownership. Because when you own the customer, you own the future. Build your brand, not theirs—and build a legacy that lasts. 💼🔥 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:17 Why Working With Home Warranty Companies Will Kill Your Business Long Term 00:03:15 The Truth About Home Warranty Work 00:05:42 Warranty Work Keeps You Busy, But Very Unprofitable 00:10:05 Warranty Customers Aren't Your Customers 00:17:18 You Can't Build $1 Million Brand On Customers Who Aren't Even Yours 00:13:04 You Cannot Attract Top Talent With Bottom Tier Work 00:14:57 What Helps Us Survive Early On Will Hurt and Stunt Our Growth Later 00:20:05 Work On Your Reputation 00:21:51 Focus On Customer Service Experience 00:22:12 When You Own The Customer, You Own The Future 00:23:19 Build Your Brand, Not Theirs 00:23:24 Build Your Legacy, Not Theirs 00:23:37 Outro

In 1990, Greg started McAfee Heating and Air Conditioning Co., his only capital was a meager $274 and a well-used truck. Today, Greg runs one of the most successful HVAC companies in the Midwest and is called upon to share his expertise with other business owners all over the nation. In his new book, “Build and Grow Your HVAC Business”, Greg shares nine elements that will guide you in growing your business. He loves to inspire others to chase their dreams at full force, just as he has in his own life and business. Greg is still the working President of his company and puts the same systems and ideas in to place at his own laboratory, McAfee Heating and Air Conditioning Company, in Dayton, Ohio. Greg resides in Beavercreek, Ohio. Several years ago, Greg sent articles to national trade magazines and many were published, which led to coaching, which led to business boot camps/revivals, and now The Greg McAfee Show. All these services help HVAC business owners think different and help grow their companies. One of the most fun things I’ve done is disrupt the HVAC industry in our market. Are you a disruptor or a disruptee in your market? You have to change some of the ways you do business, you can’t do the same old things and expect different results. I talk about how you can still generate business in the slow seasons. One of the biggest ways I set my HVAC corporate office feel, started 8 to 8 at the same great rate, and same day installation or it was FREE! (We never had to give anything away)

In this episode of The Greg McAfee Show, Greg challenges us with a simple but powerful truth: you’re either going to climb, or you’re going to quit.
