In their final moments, this couple fought ferociously to repel terrorists who stormed their home.
They had barely enough time to hide their two newborn twins in a closet, before positioning themselves on the other end of the home to draw the terrorists their direction.
Some reports say they had killed as many as 6 Hamas fighters who entered their home that Sunday morning.
12 hours later, the twins were found by their grandfather.
Itai and Hadar Berdichevsky - their story sticks with me today.
As a parent with children their age, I can only imagine the intensity with which they made their final stand, and admire their quick action & heroism in the face of unbelievable evil.
In many Canadian homes, you'll find rental water heaters and rental HVAC equipment. Why hasn’t this model taken off in the U.S.? 🤔 I'll be exploring this in an upcoming article with @homeprosnews. #hvacnews
HVAC Contractors in Canada are going to continue to see an upward climb in clients obtaining various forms of financing when it comes to emergency equipment replacement, especially on tickets north of $10K.

Once met a contractor who literally had his budgeted bottom line slapped on a huge banner on the top of his website. Like "We budget 15% Net Profit on Every Job". He was also growing so..... 🤷♂️
Curious what you think of this strategy.

I pitch my startup tomorrow at @cultivatorsk Demo Day and have 3 mins to clearly define the problem and solution.
The value of being forced into this time constraint is huge because it really distills your messaging and gives you such a good tailwind as you go to market.

Another HVAC rental concept:
Each customer controls maint/repair tempo on their own equip now. This is kinda crazy if you were to compare this to other home services like internet/power/water. They are essential and should be left to the tech experts to make those decisions.

HVAC companies who haven't heard of furnace/AC rentals have a hard time wrapping their head around it.
The easiest explanation: think of heat/cool as the service/utility. Your biz looks after the equipment to run smoothly. In reality the customer only wants the end product.

I often see HVAC co's paying Google big money for direct replacement lead opportunities and kinda neglect marketing the service phone.
Good to remember that service should eventually lead to quotes that close at over twice the rate of direct inbound calls.
The biggest/best home service providers move lightning quick to get to the customers needs and it's extremely underrated how hard this is to achieve in a fine balance. The whole team needs to be on the same page. The reward is growth and opportunity.

HVAC / Contractor network: What is everyone using these days for best practice networks (aside from X). I'm talking classrooms/training/conferences/growth stuff. I haven't been part of one in over a decade.

It's unclear but from what I heard it seems like Quilt wants to drive heat pump sales directly off their site with flat rate prices and work backwards to the contractor. Really curious as to how many contractors were spoken to during the discovery process....
California-based Quilt raises $30 million and is set to launch its small ductless heat pumps that can be controlled with a smart thermostat.
Investors include @EnergyImpact_, @GalvanizeLLC, @lowercarbon, @mcjcollective and @MrDrewScott.

I've seen this swell of comments online in Sask during the cold snap that the "HEAT PUMP PEOPLE" are awfully quiet or something, like, they are cold maybe? Anyway, cold climate heat pumps operate to -25ish, then your backup kicks in. Still electric. #skpoli

It's a good option if you are off gas-grid and especially if you are already on electric. Heat pumps are very cool tech, definitely the future. Does it make sense for everwhere in Sask? Absolutely not. If you are on gas, don't go heat pump. You'll spend more and pollute more.
