How A Second Generation Owner Grew A Plumbing And HVAC Team To Thirty Two Employees

Peakzi Podcast: A lot of home services growth advice sounds clean on paper. Then you meet someone who actually lived the messy version: long days in the truck, late nights doing deposits, and the gut punch of realizing there are no profits to split. We’re joined by Michael Moffett, President of Moffett Plumbing and Air in Orange, CA, to unpack how a family business that started in 1969 evolves into a modern plumbing and HVAC company with a real operating system behind it. Michael walks us through taking the baton in his mid-20s with no leadership experience, managing older techs who once trained him, and learning the difference between being busy and building a profitable service business. We dig into the practical changes that helped him break the hamster wheel: tracking numbers, creating structure, and shifting service calls from “fix and run” to solving the root cause so customers aren’t calling again next week. If you care about customer experience, technician performance, and sustainable margins, this part hits home. We also get into what separates Moffett in a crowded marketplace: deep training four days a week, clear expectations on how a call should go, and hiring for core values like integrity instead of chasing resumes. Then we shift to what’s changing right now in local marketing and SEO: customers using AI tools like Grok and other LLMs to find home services pros. Michael shares how Peakzi helps them understand what AI is pulling from the web and how that visibility is driving more call volume. If you found this useful, subscribe for more home services success stories, share it with an owner who needs systems and not slogans, and leave a review so more contractors can find the show.
