We talk about:

What readings matter and why

How to identify early signs of failure before they become breakdowns

When to clean, when to adjust, and when to recommend repairs

How to communicate findings without “selling” — just being honest and professional

Whether you're a seasoned tech or just stepping into the field, this breakdown covers the fundamentals that too many overlook. We talk about the mindset you walk in with, setting expectations with homeowners, documenting system conditions, and the why behind each step — not just the what.

From airflow checks to visual inspections, communication tips to professional habits that build trust and long-term customers — this is where great service begins. If your goal is to elevate your work from “good” to professional-grade, you’re in the right place.

In this episode of The HVAC Road Show, we’re getting real about one of the toughest objections every home service professional faces:

From exclusive discounts and priority scheduling to routine preventative maintenance, these memberships aren’t just a “nice-to-have” add-on — they’re an investment that pays off long after the initial cost. We’ll break down how memberships in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other trades help extend equipment life, save money, and bring peace of mind year-round. Whether you’re a contractor considering offering memberships or a customer wondering if they’re worth it, this conversation will help you see why these programs are a game-changer for both sides of the industry.

In this episode of The HVAC Road Show, Ty gets real about the mindset shift that separates good techs from great ones—personal growth. If you want to improve your sales, communication, or leadership in the trades, it all starts with working on yourself.

From morning routines to mindset, discipline to confidence, Ty breaks down how self-development directly impacts your performance in the field, your ability to connect with customers, and ultimately, your ability to close more jobs.
