The BetterHVAC Movement

Raising the bar. Providing a level of training that will transform the HVAC industry. Equipping the future labor force for excellence for the customer, the business owners, and the employees.

BetterHVAC…its a way of life, seeking to “push” the boundary, the line in the sand. Being able to adapt and overcome with the moving tides. In the end, Colossians 3:23

BetterHVAC means to me that we make the trade more inviting to new minds. Changing the way people look at the HVAC Trade. Reinventing the way Everyone interprets Comfort. Training more Streamline and A Standardized Curriculum for All. Just Changing the way everyone thinks about HVAC.

BetterHVAC is what I hope blossoms into “The People’s Voice”. A place for contractors to be heard and voice their opinions about the direction of the industry while influencing change. Collectively supported driven mission statements could make real change that could make the industry better. To give an example of what I mean: What if collectively the industry influenced the code to remove duct and equipment from unconditioned spaces for residential new construction. This would be good for energy efficiency and make the work environment more pleasant for technicians. Maybe leading to more people joining the trade.

Contributing insights and better understanding for every installation and repair project so the next technician can be the best person for the job and never feel bad for asking questions to confirm and understand what they are encountering or simply showing them where and how to proceed to find the information they need. It’s all about passing it along. Also I’ve said this before and probably will again to a younger technician, the equipment you work on is not yours, you’re only called to get it running properly and make the system work the way it was designed. So you will never know exactly how to install or repair it but you will know the right people to ask for help.

I would be happy to join a community with similar values and founding a platform that supports escalating the status quo. As an owner, I am faced with many challenges, including finding qualified help, so I fully endorse setting a high standard. As technology advances, learning in our industry is a never ending task, contrary to popular opinion from colleagues in the field.
