DIY & In-House IT
Many HVAC businesses either try to manage IT in-house or rely on a staff member with some computer knowledge to “firefight” IT issues as they arise. While this may seem like a cost-saving measure, it can actually lead to inefficiencies, increased downtime, and security vulnerabilities.
How This Affects HVAC Businesses
Relying on a technician, office manager, or another non-IT professional to handle IT problems takes them away from their primary role.
They may be able to troubleshoot basic issues, but not have the skills and know-how to properly secure networks, manage backups, implement long-term IT strategies or meet compliance regulations.
Without a dedicated IT team, issues are handled reactively rather than proactively, often leading to recurring problems.
