3, B12 - Jerky Bits! - Balloon in a Can 17.12.2020

Argh!  More of this %#&]?  Jerky reindeer poop!  Alright, let these idiots make fools of themselves; what do I care.  Hey, do you want to see the quilt I'm working on?

The Christmas season is here, and The HVAC Jerks want to help you get in the mood with some Jerky Bits!  Might as well grab some eggnog, too!

3, 11 - Grills, & Diffusers, & Noise, Oh My! 06.12.2020

Now, calling The Boys "The Wizards of Air" is more than a stretch, but they can probably still teach you something on the subject, like why does one return grill make noise, but another doesn't?  More importantly, how can we tell before we install it?  You know what to do, click on that arrow!

3-B10 - Jerky Bits! - Condiments for Dinner 03.12.2020

More non-sense from The Jerky bastards.

3,10 - Contractors and Nest Thermostats; Uhhh... 29.11.2020

This week The Boys throw out the baby with the bath water, or, uh, they chase a bear into.., no.  They put three little pigs into a poke, er.., whatever.  This week The Boys stir the pot a little by talkin' to the nice people from Nest about why contractors seem to "pass on Nest", and how they can bust up some of the myths on the street. 

3-B9 - Jerky Bits! - Get the Holiday Started! 26.11.2020

A new Jerky Bits!, a four day weekend, and a pile of turkey; life is good!

3-9 - Humidity and Covid19 with Dr. Taylor 22.11.2020

This week The Boys get the skinny on how humidity affects the transmission of the scary Covid 19 virus from Dr. Stephanie Taylor.  Dr. Taylor is not only a medical doctor from Harvard University, but also an architect who designed IAQ systems for hospitals.  Listen up, boys and girls, Dr. Taylor is a true authority on the subject and what she has to say may surprise you.  (How did they get HER on...

S3B8 - Jerky Bits! - Turkey Time 18.11.2020

Look at this, the Thanksgiving Jerky Bits! bonus episode released a week early.  They can't even get that right!  That's why they call them Jerks; turkey Jerks?

S3E8 - Are You Being Understood? 15.11.2020

Do your customers understand what you are trying to tell them?  (I'm frustrated that I can't put any of my funny stuff in here because it keeps getting rejected by FB, etc!)  How you speak to a customer will affect your personal level of success.  The Jerky Bastards preach!

S3B7 - Jerky Bits! - A Little Bread with Your Salami? 11.11.2020

Maybe we should call it "Jerky Bits and Crumbs"!  (Ugh; those idiots.)

S3E7 - Energy Recovery Ventilators 08.11.2020

The Jerks remind us that fresh air is NOT over rated!  With homes getting tighter every year and airborne diseases now all the rage, your customers need to breath clean and healthy air if they're going to live long enough to pay your bill!  Remember that YOU are their home's family doctor.

Its still Halloween in the Jerks' studio, but that humor of theirs' may be the scariest of all!

S3E5 - The Great Johnny White of TacoComfort 25.10.2020

The Boys have a blast with the always fun, Johnny White from TacoComfort.  People, innovation, and a nod to history seems to his forever focus, that is, when he's not flyin' the ponytail by way of a V-twin.  Get pumped up! 

S3B4 - Jerky Bits! - Halloween, part 1 21.10.2020

Jerky Bits!, Halloween season, you know what's comin'...

S3E4 - What About the Warranty? 18.10.2020

You know, warranties are supposed to be a good thing; they help a service provider make a sale, and they make the buyer more comfortable about their decision.  But instead, they seem to result in a big pile of steaming frustration for all involved when they are needed most.  No, The HVAC Jerks do not come with a warranty; no backsies!

S3B3 - Jerky Bits! - A Dog to Light Up the Party! 15.10.2020

Yo, banana bread, dude!  Whoops, that was a different episode.  In this Jerky Bits!, Kevin describes how his dog gets the party started.  

S3E3 - Its All in the Details 11.10.2020

Its natural to look at the big picture and be happy and/or proud of the work we have done.  But its those little details that are overlooked that can make or break the job.  Although The Jerks have talked about the details before, especially when discussing financials, they bring it up again in this episode because your reputation depends on it! 

S3B2 - Jerky Bits! - Pt3, Unions in the Big City 07.10.2020

The Boys with the funny accents expand on the "good 'ole days" with the unions in the Big Apple.  Interesting stuff; and can you believe that Anonymous Joe's family was in the carting business?  Hmmph; that's a surprise.  Hey, you! Stop askin' so many questions!  Have a nice day.

S3E2 - Trivia is Back! 04.10.2020

S3B1 - Jerky Bits! - What do You Mean by "Connected"? 30.09.2020

More from The Boys in the big city, back in the "good 'ole days".  Just don't ask too many questions.  That's enough.

S3E1 - Time to Switch Refrigerants Again? 27.09.2020

Is it really time to switch to a new refrigerant again?  Well, it looks like it might be, but don't sweat it, Anonymous Joe and The Boys will give you a quick run down of what it all means to you and why.
