TESTIMONIALS
“The industry needs a fresh event like this. There’s not a good spot for the people who get that electrification in HVAC is the future to gather.”
~ Ben Knopp, Senior Consultant & Director of Innovation, Innova Building Advisors

~ Owen Krebs Grimsich, Co-Owner, 1-888-HEAT-PUMPS
“The Summit is needed to show contractors how electrification can be good business. It’s also the best of any event I’ve been to for meeting innovation minded contractors.”
