I’ve noticed a few big recurring misconceptions when it comes to the trades. (I’m a little self-conscious about this subject because I think the trades have an un-deserved negative connotation.) People outside of trades, teachers, professors, and high school students may think about it as a second-rate job but it’s really not. I always tell […]
You know the old adage, there’s more than one way to skin a cat? Everyone has their own way of doing things. When I talk about the Wisler way, I’m not saying it with arrogance, but as a way to describe our approach to getting things done. There are definitely many different perspectives and other […]
Most of us probably don’t think about routine maintenance very often. We wouldn’t want to either, because maintenance can be a pain. It costs money and it takes time out of our schedule. But I think we’d all agree that if we didn’t change our car’s oil, we’d have to buy a new one much […]
We’re Facing a People Deficit In any business, they say the hardest challenge is finding good help. The trades are one area where this is most prevalent. It’s relatively well-known that there’s a lack of skilled tradespeople right now. Although there are probably slightly more people now than five years ago, we’re definitely still in […]
All the Players Involved There are quite a few influencers who have really left their mark on Wisler Plumbing & Air. I think we have to just start at the beginning, and that means looking at the Wisler Family. My father founded the company and I grew up along with my siblings in the family […]
Things I Learned from My Mom In the last post, “Things I Learned from My Dad,” I talked about some of the things I’ve learned from my dad. I also picked up quite a few things from my mom while I was growing up. I remember it was very common for her to be […]
Everybody loves to save money, but sometimes we don’t really connect how much money our homes are actually costing us, especially when it comes to our utility bills. We just tend to pay our monthly bill without giving it too much thought. However, a home’s heating and air comprises 40%-50% of the utility bill. If […]
Right now, we’re really focusing on bringing on apprentices onto our team. We do hire people with no experience in all areas of the field, whether that be water treatment, plumbing, HVAC, HVAC/plumbing installation, or HVAC techs. Although someone might not have any experience or have absolutely no idea what they’re getting into, we can […]
The structure at our company brings a lot of value to our clients and employees, but sometimes structure can snub out some of the fun. It’s incredibly important for our employees to really enjoy coming to work every single day. That’s why we’ve recently been focusing on cultivating a welcoming and family-friendly culture. Over […]
There are definitely both pros and cons for one-truck plumbers and larger plumbing companies. At one point in time, I was a one-truck company as well. (Everyone has to get started somewhere.) I think most people initially consider how much it will cost to hire a one-truck plumber versus a larger plumbing company. It is […]
