Meet Mark Hunt: One of NCI’s New Instructors

NCI presented Mark Hunt
Mark Hunt

As we pursue our mission to teach the industry about the benefits of High-Performance HVAC™ contracting, National Comfort Institute (NCI) has been onboarding additional trainers and instructors. We are pleased to introduce you to one of them, Mark Hunt, who joined NCI in 2021.

Mark has an extensive background in the plumbing and HVAC industries. He eventually began working in the add-on/replacement marketplace and took a combustion course with NCI’s Captain CO, Jim Davis. Hunt says that class changed the way he viewed combustion appliances forever.

NCI recently promoted Mark to a full-time technical instructor. You may have already encountered him teaching Combustion Performance and CO Safety, most recently in Monroeville, PA last month.

David Richardson, NCI’s vice president of training, says “Mark has quickly become an important part of the NCI technical team. His expertise in combustion and hydronics has already helped our members who have worked with him. Plus, we’ve grown to love his expertise and his humor.”

Please welcome Mark to National Comfort Institute. You can reach him through our contact portal at ncilink.com/Contactme.
