Tax Credits, Energy Efficiency, And HVAC Provisions Thank you very much, Mike Murphy, for your Aug. 29 column on the new Federal Energy Bill ("Don't Need No Stinking Tax Credits"),
A few months ago I provided a report on developments at the mid-point of my annual fall swing to some of the major refrigeration-related conferences and trade shows. With those travels done, here are some final thoughts.
The new year usually brings with it an assortment of personal resolutions for some people. Occasionally, some business resolutions find their way into the annual ritual. Goal-setting is a different animal, though.
Reminding Us How To Live [Editor's note: This letter is in response to Mark Skaer's editorial "What's Next? Uniform Fashion Show?" Sept 26.] We all know of ruthless bean counters
As 2005 comes to an end, I believe it's appropriate to look back and see how we as contractors have progressed. I may seem paranoid about this, but I am determined to see the image of our industry continue to improve.
The big news this year has been, in my opinion, the biggest news in the HVAC industry since consolidation. The impending move to the 13 SEER standard has everyone talking, and with good reason.
In my estimation, there is a great void in this grueling world of running a contracting business. It's time for a traveling door-to-door HVACR inspirational speaker.
The year has only two weeks left, and I have only one more opinion column left in the bag. I think of a few claims and predictions of years past. They are a bit like New Year's resolutions - some came true, some didn't.
In the haste to do things right and fix a callback problem once and for all, contractors often turn to the most reliable person they can find. But it may be more cost-effective to send the original tech back to the job.
We're closing in on what is going to be another record year for A/C and heat pump shipments. Why is business so good? William Sutton, ARI president, said one reason is new home construction. Another might be the hurricanes. Still another may be the 13 SEER transition.
