For more than 30 years, I’ve watched the hydronics industry evolve. Sadly, at a time when there are so many new possibilities for water-based heating and cooling — and with a giant helping of new technology at every facet of the playing field — we’re losing the very essence of what’s needed most — a new generation of energetic, inspired young trade pros.
As a business owner, I see that, as professionals, we can’t get by with just basics in our trade. To be at the top of our game, and to win budgets that let us do our best work, we must provide ongoing education and training for our existing employees. This is also a great way to appeal to the younger set and other trade pros, considering a career change into hydronics, by the way.
