Progress report: morale’s high, productivity... questionable. 😂

This is why I fell in love with the HVAC trade.
You never know what you’re gonna find on a callout.
This old girl’s been sitting at a local hinterland dairy since 1959.
Imagine how many litres of milk she’s helped keep cold over the years.
Stuff like this is what I love about the trade. Old gear, good yarns, and seeing equipment that’s outlasted most of us.
What’s the oldest bit of refrigeration gear you’ve come across?

Big call to make this one. Website live 👍

15 years in this trade taught me two things: good businesses can’t find good people, and good tradies can’t find the right move. So I’m doing something about it.

Still on the tools. Now also helping HVAC+R and electrical businesses hire the right people, so their projects keep moving — and helping tradies find the roles that actually fit.

I’ve done the job. 15+ years in HVAC+R. That’s the edge I bring.

This page isn’t going anywhere — same content, same me. Just more happening behind the scenes now.

You’d be surprised what a tiny dent can do.
This suction line was restricted just enough to kill the system’s performance.
Easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.
What’s the smallest fault you’ve found that’s caused the biggest drama?

Friday Smoko ☕ New series. First up: resi vs commercial HVAC .

*WARNING you will fundamentally love me talking about the fundamentals and intricacies here*🤙

Resi’s split systems, single-phase, quick diagnostics. Commercial’s VRF, chillers, three-phase, BMS integration, bigger fault-finding puzzles. Different skill set, different ticket depth.

Which one are you picking?
