As heat pump adoption accelerates across North America, contractors have an unprecedented opportunity to grow their businesses — but success depends on more than simply replacing HVAC equipment. In this episode, Ed Smith sits down with Brynn Cooksey, founder of Air Doctors Heating and Cooling and HVAC U, to discuss why building science is the missing piece of successful heat pump installations.
Brynn shares how his company transformed into a heat pump-focused business, expanded into multiple states, and why proper design, ductwork evaluation, and homeowner education are essential to delivering outstanding results. They also preview the upcoming U.S. Heat Pump Summit, where Brynn will deliver the keynote and present his session, Navigating the Heat Pump Jungle.
