Installation work is at one location and lasts over several days and is not wasteful of time so is much more profitable.
Properly scheduled so the customer is aware of the outages then it should be possible on seven hour days with the assistant staying on the job whilst the principal leaves to do the odd repair and further repairs being done during the evening if necessary. Much better done when the family is away on holiday. I would never work in an occupied house!
Breakdown repairs have to be done the same day and are grossly inefficient due to travelling times and fitting in with customers own schedules. Except for BG's locked in maintenance agreements where people wait in for the whole afternoon and have to put up with return calls the next day with parts, the small firm can only do two or three general breakdown repairs in a day if they operate a same day visit/fix policy. Sometimes only two if trips to source parts are needed.
