Julian Picard, Owner & CEO of Centerline Mechanical LLC, shares insights on optimising HVAC systems to save energy, the shift toward heat pumps, rising installation costs, and the need to engage younger generations in the trades.
Homeowners are reaping the benefits of modern HVAC systems that optimise energy use with advanced inverters. Unlike older, single-stage models that operate at full capacity, today’s systems adjust their output based on a home’s actual needs.
This innovation reduces energy consumption significantly, especially in homes that have undergone insulation upgrades.Government rebates, like the $16,000 available in Massachusetts, further incentivise adoption.
Simultaneously, younger generations are increasingly drawn to this sustainability trades, with Gen Z technicians leveraging digital expertise to innovate and thrive in hands-on roles.
This growing interest ensures a robust future for the HVAC and energy sectors.
