HVAC maintenance visit capacity
Find annual visits possible from technician calendar and observed durations.
Your inputs
Complete the fields for your selected method. Zero means intentionally zero, not unknown. Currency selection labels amounts; it does not convert exchange rates.
How this calculation works
available technician hours/(service+travel+admin hours per visit).
Available time excludes leave and nonproductive time already removed; do not subtract per-visit administration twice. Average duration does not guarantee route or shift coverage.
What information do I need?
Use records for the same job, equipment or accounting period. Only the fields for your selected entry method are required. An unknown amount is not zero.
Input definitions and where to find them
- Annual productive technician time (person-hours/year): Annual productive technician PERSON-hours after leave/non-visit obligations; current max8784 assumes one-person scale.
- Service time per visit (person-hours): Use matching records or a clearly identified owner assumption for service time per visit, in the displayed unit and the stated row/period scope.
- Travel time per visit (person-hours): Use matching records or a clearly identified owner assumption for travel time per visit, in the displayed unit and the stated row/period scope.
- Administration per visit (person-hours): Per-visit admin not already removed from available hours.
Use the Where to find this value controls beside the inputs for available work-it-out helpers. Estimates remain your assumptions; a helper does not verify the source figures.
Worked example
Example amounts use US dollars (USD).
Example answer: Exact annual visit capacity is 711.11 visits/year for the illustrative inputs below.
Example inputs
- Annual productive technician time: 1,600.00 person-hours/year
- Service time per visit: 1.50 person-hours
- Travel time per visit: 0.50 person-hours
- Administration per visit: 0.25 person-hours
- Exact annual visit capacity
- 711.11 visits/year
- Whole annual visits
- 711 visits/year
These illustrative values are not recommended rates or industry averages. Replace every example input with your own figures.
Use the result well
Find annual visits possible from technician calendar and observed durations.
Keep inputs on the same scope and time basis. Calculations retain precision internally; displayed values generally round to two decimal places, with extra precision for very small values and whole-unit rounding where required. Economic comparisons describe your supplied assumptions and do not guarantee future results.
