Welcome to the first in a series of interviews with members of the contracting world, available online only for The NEWS Network members. This series allows HVAC veterans to share their insights on the current state of the industry and the issues facing contractors today. In this edition, Matt Marsiglio explains how his company, Flame Furnace, attracts both customers and employees in the competitive Metro Detroit market.
Marsiglio has been the operations manager at Flame for the past 23 years. The Warren, Michigan, company has been around for 70 years. It provides full-service electrical and plumbing services in addition to its main HVAC business, which is split about 50-50 between heating and air conditioning. About 80 percent of our business is residential and 20 percent is light commercial.
