"These are folks that love to work with their hands and also love customer service," Comerford said.
According to Comerford, safety has always been a priority.
"We deal with the three most volatile elements inside the home. You've got carbon monoxide, you've got 220 volt electricity, and then you've got natural gas, very explosive. So once the pandemic hit us, we needed to make sure that A our clients were protected, and B that our team members were protected."

Comerford's numbers represent the whole company. You don't need skills in any of these departments to land the job. Service Champions hosts an employee training called Champions University, where people learn the ropes and get paid at the same time.
"The slogan is, 'A High Paying Career Without a Four Year'," Comerford said.
