From cellphones to pipe wrenches, software to hand-held diagnostic devices, and everything in between – our tools are our “force multipliers.” They enable us to do things that no man, woman, or team of pros could do just a generation ago.

And to think, you almost unleashed them on your gorgeous, newly installed hydronic system. Talk about creating your own risk of callbacks. 

There’s no such thing as magic in hydronics. There are no magic boilers, controls, or circulators that know what to do. If someone can’t explain to you exactly how a delta (Δ) P or a ΔT variable-speed circulator works, and why, without using the word “magic” or some derivative thereof, they don’t really know.

It happened abruptly — I woke up one morning and decided I wanted to try something new. Little did I know then that the path I’m on now would be so affected by some very special mentors. Heck, I didn’t even know what “hydronics” meant back then, but, now, it’s both a passion and a profession.
