The Trickle Up Affect
Look at the reality on what is actually happening
Customers may pay a little more in investing for this to happen instead of paying later. In the chance the cost is equivalent, in the end it is less headaches & the impact to their customer would be huge. You cannot even put a cost on that.
LABOR SHORTAGE
On contractor side & the Supplier side. Driving equipment cost down can directly affect quality of labor and labor shortage.
HIGHER TURNOVER
Training, Retraining, Quality of Labor, Poor Installations. Worse impact during remodels and night work. Consistent across many industries
FALSE SENSE OF SAVINGS
Upfront savings does not take into account total cost of ownership.
ISSUES = ADD ONS
We know in terms of refrigerator contractors, everything is priced for a smooth install. Without so, it impacts the store customer if the store cannot open, or needs to shut down to fix bad install
