Smaller Market, Wetter Air, Colder Winter
Alabama is the smallest of the three states we expanded into — 8,260 technicians statewide — and we would rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. It is also a market where good systems are rarer, which cuts the other way for an owner who builds them.
Two facts that surprise people. Birmingham records more freezing nights than Atlanta (47.0 versus 35.7), and at 56.62 inches of annual precipitation it is the wettest market we work in — wetter than Houston, Orlando or Atlanta. Alabama is a humidity market and a real heating market, and Birmingham records more heating degree days (2,533) than cooling degree days (2,177).
JordanWORX is headquartered in Orlando, Florida. We work with Alabama owners remotely and on-site. We are not going to invent a local office or a local phone number to look like something we are not.
Alabama shares Florida’s Hot-Humid Southeast, so the latent-load and labor-market playbook transfers well. What it adds is a genuine winter Florida never taught us to plan for — and we plan for it with your numbers, not a template.
For context: the largest names in HVAC coaching run out of Washington State, Minnesota and New Jersey and sell nationally. Remote-delivered coaching is the norm in this industry, not the exception.
Leonard has spent 34+ years building, running, repairing, scaling and selling HVAC companies — starting his first from scratch in 1993 as the one man doing nearly everything. These systems were built under real pressure, with real payroll on the line. Not in a classroom.
