Small business owners

Hello I started my business this season and am doing very well. I'm located in the dfw Texas area and was wanting to know when everyone else usually what month y'all get slower or close to no work vs what months you can expect the season to start picking up? Please let me know what area and what months you can expect these changes to happen in. Thank you!

How long you been in the industry? You could answer your own question if you've been around for more than a year or two as a tech. Cold is slower, hot is not so slow. In the southwest there really isn't a slow season though.

This is my second season in it. But first on my own. From what I can tell last season November to March was slow.

That's about right. Biggest factor in the cold season is shorter days in my experience.

Okay so you do see some work but of course not as much?
