Why I'm Letting HVAC Old Timers In for Free (And What That Means for Your Business)

Let’s face it—some of the smartest people in the HVAC industry are no longer running service calls or building estimates. They’re the old timers—the men and women who spent decades sweating in crawlspaces, navigating boom-and-bust cycles, and building businesses before Google reviews were even a thing.

And I believe their knowledge is too valuable to retire.

That’s why I’m inviting HVAC veterans over 65 to join my Growth Groups for free.

If you're an experienced contractor or business owner who wants to give back and help the next generation of HVAC professionals, you’re welcome in the room—no strings attached. Just your wisdom, your stories, and your guidance.

What Are Growth Groups?

Growth Groups are a mastermind-style experience I offer through newhvacguide.com. They’re designed for HVAC business owners and managers who want to grow smarter, faster, and with more intention.

We meet regularly in small groups (virtually) to talk about what’s working, what’s not, and how to build HVAC companies that are profitable, efficient, and sustainable.

Whether you're a one-truck shop trying to break through the noise or a multi-location operation looking to tighten up your systems, these groups are built for you.

We cover topics like:

How to scale your business without burning out
Lead generation strategies that actually work in 2025
What to do about the 410a phase-out and the rise of A2L refrigerants
How to turn your trucks, tools, and technicians into income streams
Hiring and training strategies that reduce turnover

And for those new to mastermind-style groups, here’s a helpful Forbes article on why mastermind groups work.

Because experience is the one thing you can’t Google.

These groups thrive on real talk, and nobody brings more to the table than someone who’s weathered the storms, made the mistakes, and kept the business alive year after year.

If you’re over 65 and want to be part of something meaningful—sharing your hard-earned lessons with a new generation—I’ll reserve a seat for you. Free of charge. All I ask is that you show up ready to encourage, challenge, and inspire.
