As the world evolves and generations come and go, we all have a civic duty to understand the communication patterns of the different generations of our fellow citizens. In this episode we hang out with Greg Crumpton and discuss the various ways of communication and the importance of adding communication skills to our toolbag.

The ESCO Institute "Did you Know?" podcast provides HVACR professionals access to reliable, up-to-date, and relevant information, directly from trusted sources. The world of HVACR has been changing at an exponential rate over the last few years; new SEER ratings, flammable refrigerants, and an array of technological advances. Keeping up with all the changes in regulation, manufacturing, refrigerants and how to properly prepare students and technicians has became daunting. Many of our guests are speakers and exhibitors at the HVAC EXCELLENCE National HVACR Education Conference and represent every sector of the HVACR industry. Thanks for joining in!

As the world transitions into a new era of technological innovations driven by a global awareness for a reduced carbon future, the fuel industry is making many of their own transitions and technological advancements. The fuels we currently recognize such as fuel oil, natural gas, liquified petroleum and even aviation fuel will not look the same in just a few years. Joins us as we take a deep look at the fuels we currently know, and see what they will look like on the other side.... we want you to stay "In The Loop'

The Future of Fuel Oils, Natural Gas and LP- Bob O'Brien from N.O.R.A.

Ask anyone you know from the training side of our industry and they will all tell you the same thing...there has never been as significant of increase in the demand for training that Right Now! The industry is hungry for knowledge, driven by an elevated awareness of the importance our industry plays in global impact and the vital services we provide for our communities. I absolutely LOVE our industry and am filled with pride when I see our industry partners putting so much effort into training for their products. From chemicals manufacturers like Refrigeration Technologies, to our equipment and tool manufacturers, this industry is ON FIRE for education. Come hang out with myself and Ashley Lynds as we discuss the brand evolution and emphasis on training with Viper.

Since its inception in 1954, more than 70,000 engineers, contractors and other hydronic HVAC and plumbing professionals have been educated at the Little Red Schoolhouse. Known as the industry’s educator, Bell & Gossett’s Little Red Schoolhouse sets itself apart from other educational facilities in the industry by emphasizing a systems-based concept of teaching, rather than focusing on product features and benefits. Training modules are frequently updated to support advancements in equipment design and operation, along with the evolving focus on sustainability, decarbonization and electrification of hydronic systems. We spend some time with Bill Fisher discussing everything that Bell and Gossett offers for training including the virtual Little Red Schoolhouse.

The National HVACR Education Conference is typically a place for educators to gather to unite for the good of community and education. This year the conference had a fresh new aroma...the flavor of competitors joining forces to embrace a new era of education. Manufacturers that typically compete for sales showed up in groves to embrace change, encourage each other, and even share the stage to promote unity. Waves of change are upon us, and I like what I see.

Change Is In The Air- Tyler Nelson from Sauermann Group

OK friends in the south, especially those in the southeast, you know exactly what we are talking about. The HVACR industry has gained a new unwanted condition that, until now, has been very difficult to treat. We have seen crazy videos of slime snakes being flushed out of condensate lines in Florida. and mushroom looking blobs in the Carolinas. We have heard stories of using bleach but it is only temporary and will deteriorate metals and plastics. What is it? And how do you treat it? That's what our resident Research and Development Chemist, Fallon Dyle, is here to deliver.
