Dan VandeVoorde knows that HVAC field work takes time. Over the last 15 years, he has worked his way up from the role of apprentice to working for a supply house to eventually owning his own business. VandeVoorde has seen the business from all angles, and recognizes that in many situations, a technician may find himself stuck on pause.
While VandeVoorde’s task at hand may have oftentimes experienced downtime, his mind certainly did not. During these delays, he’d often find himself contemplating ways to make his job easier. It was during one of these brainstorming sessions when he first came up with the HVAC Strap, a magnetic HVAC manifold gauge holder that allows contractors to temporarily affix their gauges directly to the machinery they are working on, eliminating any need to hold the device or wrangle with hooks.
