Summary

I have worked as a HVAC Installer/technician for just under 20 years. I have done almost everything I could learn in this industry. I started out on new construction tract homes and learned to build metal fittings from the flat metal in the shop. I have worked on residential homes, commercial buildings, controls on commercial buildings, and retro installs on already built homes.I have also installed several residential tankless water heaters and tank water heater, attic fans, RTU’s, mini-split systems, and done maintenance on commercial and residential properties. My time in the field is equivalent to 15 years in residential and 5 years in commercial. I enjoy the retro installs the most as each install has its own challenges and I also enjoy connecting with the home owners and fulfilling their needs and wants.

I have completed several furnace, air conditioning, and heat pump trouble shooting classes, airflow classes, commercial controls classes, electrical classes, commissioning classes, and CAZ classes.
