Re: Keeping up with Cables in new installation

["R.H.Campbell" <rh.campbell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, that's worked for me over the years as well. Every can has my company
decal on it, plus two other labels -one giving all my calling information,
plus the second decal outlining what my monthly rate is and what it
includes.
Plus, inside, taped to the can cover is a complete wiring chart showing what
has been done and where all the wires go.

If the customer comes back to me, great ! If he doesn't, then the next
company that has to service the panel has a complete record to go on saving
everyone time and money. I figure the wiring chart is only part of a proper
installation and belongs to the homeowner, same as the panel itself. The
decals belong to me and are always removed (a clause in my contract)

Very rarely does the homeowner go elsewhere. If he does, it's usually become
of his having signed one of these abominable long term contracts in his
original house and now he's being blackmailed into taking their service
again in the new house.
