The HVAC Jerks

Uhhh ....

It's so basic, yet so important; staying organized.  The Boys know that this isn't always easy, especially when you've got so many things going on in your life.  Lets all try it again.

Hey! Who doesn't like a good sports car?  Let's see what these guys have to say.

Here we go again.  It looks like it's time to switch refrigerants one more time, but will it be R32 after all?  Maybe not.

This week The Boys ask "To mask, or not mask?  That could be the question." 

In this episode The Big Jerks discuss the idea that winning the battle doesn't always mean that you'll win the war.  Sometimes you need to bite your tongue and listen to what the customer (or, whoever!) has to say first, then respond with your business in mind, not your ego.

Is it soccer season again?  Oh, they do this every year?  (They really are Jerks...)

The Boys take a look at some career choices in our industry (you know, the HVAC industry).

Anonymous Joe entertains with tales from the past.

If you don't keep track of the numbers, how will you know if you're getting better, making money, or even when the strudel is done?  Keeping score is critical to your success; don't strike out.

It's time for JERKY BITS!!! Have you ever had truffle oil?  Well, before you do, listen to this.

Do you know what cogeneration is?  Well, lucky for you (and The Jerks) the knowledgeable Eric Morrow from Lochinvar joins us this week to introduce to this fancy technology, and how it can further the drive to "green-ness".

What's for lunch?  Jerky Bits, of course!

Are you kidding me!?!  It costs HOW MUCH now!?!  Have you said this in the last month?  Well, you're not alone.  Inflation is back.

You can't win if you're not in the game!

As silly as it seems, many of us go to work every day without the tools to do our jobs properly.  Sooo..., yes, that's what The big Jerks are chewing on this week.

Good ole' Anonymous Joe gives us a peek at how he looks at the world.

Primary/secondary boiler piping involves concepts and terms that are often misunderstood and misused.  In this episode The Boys speak to well-known trainer Dave Hartwell to begin the discussion around the topic, and for some reason, also learn that Kevin likes 55 gallon drums.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if I want to be involved in this one...  Uhhh, The Boys ...., "what's that noise!"  Uhhh, The Bo ... "I gotta go!" 

Most companies and technicians in our field offer annual maintenance services and/or contracts, but are their customers getting what they pay for?  The Boys discuss what should be included with an annual check-up.

 The HVAC Jerks walk into a bar ...

The HVAC Jerks don't usually attract many "non-hvac" industry listeners, but one found them and sent an email.  Apparently, Ohio Bob can't find anyone to address his air flow issue, they just want to, well, take a listen and see what you think. 

Whoops!  It looks like somebody may have just one too many...

After The Jerks finish with their ridiculous discussion about mattresses, the talk turns to brand loyalty, and why it is so difficult to get some people to consider something different.  Why are you using the yellow one instead of the red one?

Sometimes I just like looking back on some older stuff.  Here's a few things NOT to do.
