We're excited to share that Derek recently had the opportunity to join Building HVAC Science with Bill Spohn! It was an honor to be part of a podcast that is so focused on advancing our industry through education, building science, and better HVAC practices.

We had a great conversation about why testing should always come before guessing, the importance of proper airflow and system performance, and how educating homeowners leads to better long-term comfort and efficiency.

A huge thank you to Bill Spohn for the invitation and for everything he does to help raise the standard of the HVAC industry. It was a fantastic experience, and we're grateful for the opportunity to share our passion for high-performance HVAC.

If you haven't listened to Building HVAC Science before, it's well worth checking out. We'll share the episode once it's live!

Quotes from the episode: "When your HVAC system is performing at 100%, but the home isn't, the problem isn't the equipment anymore." "Our job is to be investigato…

Don't Wait Until It's Staining Your Ceiling...

This is what happens when a small condensate drain leak is ignored.

The water stain on the ceiling didn't appear overnight. It started as a slow leak from a cracked PVC fitting at the air handler. Over time, that "minor drip" turned into:

• Water damage to the ceiling
• Saturated building materials
• Potential mold growth
• Costly drywall and paint repairs
• A repair that could have been prevented

The cracked fitting in the second photo is all it took.

Your HVAC system doesn't just heat and cool your home. It also removes gallons of moisture from the air every day. If that water can't drain properly, it will find another way out.

At DNA Heating & Cooling, we inspect condensate drains, drain pans, and safety switches during every maintenance visit because it's much less expensive to catch a problem before it damages your home.

If you've noticed water spots, musty odors, or your system has never had its drain inspected, don't wait until you're repairing ceilings instead of your HVAC system.

Protect your home before a small drip becomes a major repair.

When homeowners take the time to write something like this, it reminds us exactly why we do what we do. ❤️

At DNA Heating & Cooling, we know that HVAC is about so much more than heating and air conditioning. It’s about helping people feel safe, comfortable, and confident in their homes, especially when something unexpected happens.

Misty called us after heavy rain left her worried about strange gurgling noises coming from her crawlspace. What was originally scheduled for the next morning quickly turned into an evening visit because we knew she needed answers, not another sleepless night.

Our goal has never been to rush through appointments or sell something that isn’t needed. We believe in taking the time to investigate the problem, explain our findings in plain language, and help homeowners understand exactly what’s happening in their home.

Thank you, Misty, for trusting us and for sharing your experience. Your incredibly thoughtful review means the world to us. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve our community and earn the trust of homeowners one visit at a time.

If you’re looking for a company that believes in testing before guessing, honest recommendations, and treating your home like it’s our own, we’d be honored to help.

Next month, Lenora will officially be out driving on her own, so it was only right to get her work truck looking its best before she hits the road!

A huge thank you to Hawks Auto Detail for doing an incredible job. The truck looks absolutely amazing, and their attention to detail is second to none. If you’re looking to get your vehicle cleaned up, we can’t recommend them enough.

We’re excited for this next chapter for Lenora as she continues her journey in the HVAC trade. Be sure to give her a wave if you see a DNA Heating & Cooling truck out in the Richmond area!

Thank you again, Hawks auto detail, for helping us send her off in style! 👏🚐✨

Five years ago, we took a leap of faith.

No investors.
No fleet of trucks.
No marketing budget.

Just a belief that homeowners deserved better.

We started DNA Heating & Cooling with one simple mission: to do things the right way — even when it takes longer. To educate instead of pressure. To test instead of guess. To treat every home like it was our own.

Over the last five years, we’ve been trusted by hundreds of families across Richmond. We’ve grown, learned, earned certifications, made mistakes, celebrated wins, and continued to raise the standard of what HVAC service should be.

To every customer who has invited us into your home, referred a friend, left a review, or simply believed in us…

Thank you.

This milestone belongs just as much to you as it does to us.

Here’s to the next five years of creating healthier, more comfortable, and more efficient homes.

🎬 Coming soon on Netflix… 😅

The R-454B transition has been one of the biggest changes our industry has seen in years. New equipment, new training, new regulations… and somehow the first question is still:

“Can you just put Freon in it?” 😂

If you’re in the HVAC industry, you know exactly what we’re talking about.
