  • Watching the growth of Gary & his company

    I have been a digital friend of Gary’s for several years now. I enjoyed following him even before he started his own firm. It has truly been fun watching him grow as a technician, as a person, and ultimately as a entrepreneur.

    Gary is a fine man and is certainly a great representative of the HVAC industry … High integrity goes a long way, Gary gets it.

    Enjoy the podcast, I sure do!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is New HVAC Technology Making Technicians Better or Too Dependent? with Don Gillis Part 2
Q: How do you respond to engineers releasing new equipment before it's fully field-tested?
Don explains there is pressure to be first to market, leading to recalls and field fixes, but stresses the importance of field testing across different climates and setups to ensure reliability before widespread deployment.
Is New HVAC Technology Making Technicians Better or Too Dependent? with Don Gillis Part 2
Q: What's your view on training younger techs with the latest technology versus sticking with traditional methods?
He advocates teaching new techs using a full kit of Bluetooth-enabled tools and keeping a path for practical problem-solving, while acknowledging the need to walk them through older, analog methods to preserve the foundational knowledge.
Is New HVAC Technology Making Technicians Better or Too Dependent? with Don Gillis Part 2
Q: Talk to me about that transition from analog gauges to digital tools and how new techs should be taught.
Don emphasizes a balanced approach: embrace digital tools and apps, but also ensure the fundamentals—like understanding refrigeration cycles and mechanical know-how—are not lost; teach with hands-on practice and real-world calibration to keep the core skills alive.
How AI and Commissioning Are Changing the Future of HVAC Service with Jim Bergmann
Q: Jim, I'm curious next to go to, I mean, you guys have built some new products with AI Assist, and you have a new systems profile or measure quick too. Thinking ahead about where things are going in the future, if you could project out five or ten years in terms of diagnostics, what is AI going to be doing versus where is human judgment still necessary?
AI will mainly assist with data synthesis, system profiling, and summarizing operation, while human judgment remains critical for interpreting measurements, handling unique or complex scenarios, and performing proper commissioning steps that require expertise. The goal is to use AI to augment technicians, not replace them, by providing guardrails and reliable data inputs.
A Practical Guide to R290 and A3 Refrigerant Safety with Eric Ruggles Part 1
Q: What tips can you share about the kit and process for charging A3 systems like R290 and 600A?
Use the kit to charge, then crimp the pipe, purge the line of residual gas, and braze with the crimp still in place to maintain seal integrity; always cap the joint after purging and verify there are no leaks before applying heat.
