Just before Christmas and the turn of the New Year, Rhydon Atzenhoffer welcomed Jimmy Abraham of Bosch Home Comfort USA to the show to discuss how to make the most of the 25C and Inflation Reduction Act tax credits as an HVAC or Plumbing contractor.

The two dive into the tools and information available through Bosch Home Comfort as well as urging contractors to do their own local research to be able to best serve their customers while also using the incentives to help drive sales of Bosch IDS Inverter Heat Pumps and their Greentherm and Greentronic Water Heaters.

Make sure to take some notes on this one as there are some great nuggets of information to help you grow your business and properly communicate to customers how these incentives work.
