The HVAC Jerks

Happy Thanksgiving!  Have a little Jerky Bits! with dinner.

Did you ever work with someone for years then suddenly realize that you really don't know much about them?  Well, here's your chance to find out a little more about one of our hosts.

In this bonus interview The Boys interview Michelle La France, aka Smarty Pants and discuss "Why They Buy" and "Ductless Direct".  (I'm not going to give it away, just go listen; its really good!)

Jerky Bits! is back!!!  Well, it's about time.  Finally, those Jerky bastages (quick, what movie is that from?) are back in the groove; wait, that means more of those stupid stories ...

Our old friend Dan Holohan stops by to say hello and tell a story or two, before Kevin tries to get him in our proposed dunk tank in Las Vegas.  Will he bring his trunks?  We'll see ...

Meet Corrie Phillips, this year's scholarship winner from the Women in HVACR!  She's got a great and inspiring story for those who want to get into our field on an unconventional time-line.  (And she wears a cool hat!) 

Ah, yes, thermistors; they're everywhere!  Simple little buggers, they are, yet we don't give them much thought.  Well. here's your chance, and just in time to get ready for that deep conversation around the turkey!

Jennifer Milazzo, president of Dykstra Home Services, sits down with The Boys to discuss how it's done in the windy city.  Street politics and tommy guns were not included.  They were warned ...

Back from their fancy trip to the Women in HVACR convention, The Boys roll back into the studio and try to put a cohesive thought together about the state of PVC venting. (Ewww, those Jerks make my blood boil!!! I really need to find another job; hmmm, maybe with the post office...)

Ah, you noticed!  That's right, we're skipping this week's Jerky Bits! to bring you our interview with Melissa C.  She is the owner of D&D A/C Service, and is going to tell us how they do it in the state with the big star in the middle; yes, yes, TEXAS! 

Meet Jaimee G., a young, bright female installer from up in the north country that The Boys met recently at the Women in HVACR convention in Florida.  She's a great inspiration, and now she's got a few extra Milwaukee tools, too!

While at the Women in HVACR's annual convention in Florida, The Jerks came across Claire from CompanyCam.com and tricked her into an interview.  As it turns out, you can do a lot more with jobsite photos than we thought!  (Doesn't Rich sound like he's just waking up?)

Wild bulls, cats and coyotes, mountain goats and grizzly bears, oh my!  It sounds like the animals are in charge!!!

Taylor S. joins us in St. Pete's Beach, Florida at the Women in HVACR's annual convention to update us on what's new at FreshAireUV, how to make some extra money, and deliver some great giveaways to the attendees.  Hope you were there!

Really? Are we doing this again?  Who knows what that means!  These guys are shot!  This is like listening to a love-sick groundhog after eating a box of gummi-bear edibles singing the National Anthem!  Just run away now; RUN; and DON'T look back!!!

This week The Boys sit down with Johnny White and Cheryl Merchant of the Taco companies.  Nothin' crazy, just good times with great people.  Don't miss it!

The most important meal?  I don't know, but if you look at these Jerks, you'll be pretty sure that they're not missin' any!

Everywhere in life you will find yourself in situations that can determine how people see you or your company.  Will you be a positive force?

Aaannnd ... here we go back into the sea.  Why do we put up with these Jerky bastards?  Yeah, I guess you're right; they're better than listening to the news, but that's not sayin' much. 

As always, (that sounds familiar) everything is easier if there is a process in place.  That goes as much for giving the customer the price, as anything else.  But what if your company doesn't have one?  Sounds messy!

Lets take a vote; Should The HVAC Jerks go to Mars?

In the last episode of season 3, The Boys speak to Steve Grady, a rep for Bosch products, about heat pumps.  Facts, fiction, and folly, it's all here.

Last week they were in the ocean, now they're talkin' about space!   Jerks.

It's that time of year again; did you get through all of your furnace cleanings yet?  Lets talk about it a bit.

It's a big, wild world out there, and The Boys keep on proving that to be true!
