Class Description

Managing & Growing Service Profitably is an in-depth review of the principles and strategies necessary to run a profitable service department or division. Many dealers view their service department or division as a necessary evil or loss leader, not a profit machine. In this course, dealers will learn the correct approach to running a profitable service department or division that can generate 20-35% net income each month.

Class Mission

• Learn the top five keys to managing and growing your service department along with the tools to put them in place.
• Determine how to correctly charge for technician labor.
• Turn your service department into a profit machine.
• Manage, motivate and maximize service technician’s performance.
• Learn what the service department’s potential is and how to capture it.
• Maximize performance through efficient dispatch and scheduling.
• Proper management and pricing of maintenance agreements. (Residential & Commercial)

This class offers NATE and Factory Elite Hours. No state CE hours are offered for this course.

Advanced Multimeter Techniques for Heating Tune‑Up Success is a focused, technician‑driven training session designed to elevate diagnostic accuracy and confidence during heating system tune‑ups. Using the Fieldpiece SC‑series meters as the primary diagnostic platform, this class teaches participants how to apply advanced multimeter functions to verify electrical health, identify performance‑limiting faults, and ensure safe, efficient system operation.

Technicians will learn how to interpret real‑world readings, validate component performance, and apply measurement strategies that reduce callbacks and speed up troubleshooting. The session emphasizes hands‑on practice with live circuits, proper test‑lead placement, and safe measurement habits that align with industry best practices.

Key Learning Outcomes
Participants will learn to:

• Perform precision voltage, amperage, and resistance tests on heat strips, sequencers, contactors, and blower circuits.
• Use inrush, microamp, and capacitance functions to evaluate ignition systems and motor performance.
• Apply advanced continuity to verify control circuits and safety switches.
• Interpret multimeter readings to identify failing components before they cause system failure.
• Integrate Fieldpiece JobLink features in a structured heating tune‑up workflow.
• Follow safe, repeatable testing procedures that protect both the technician and the equipment.
