On behalf of the entire NCI team, I extend a warm welcome to everyone attending the High-Performance HVAC™ Summit in Asheville, North Carolina on September 10-13th. It’s hard to express in words how grateful and humbled I am that we are in our 21st year and it’s going to be the best ever.

We invite both newcomers and long-time participants to attend the Orientation Meeting on Tuesday at 5:15. It’s a great opportunity to get the lay of the land and see your fellow contractors before the Welcome Reception at 6 pm.

A Non-Traditional Conference

As many attendees over the past 20 years have told us, “Summit is unlike any other industry meeting.” It’s truly an intimate gathering of like-minded professionals with a laser focus on High-Performance HVAC.

This conference is designed to help you and your team on your path to High-Performance. Attendees will be able to choose from technical, sales, and business workshops all focused on how to profitably implement this approach in your business. And this year we feature a special track called, ”High-Performance Heat Pumps.”

While typical conference speakers are industry consultants or vendors, our session leaders come from the field, and either own, or have leadership roles in High-Performance HVAC companies.

Thank you to all who have put so much time and hard work into developing amazing, content rich workshops this year!

Another unique aspect of Summit is it doesn’t have a traditional tradeshow. Our select group of exhibitors is made up of industry partners that support education and provide products and services to help High-Performance HVAC contractors achieve their goals.

This year’s theme is “OUTPERFORM.” Each of the sessions and workshops have been curated to help you OUTPERFORM typical installations, help your company OUTPERFORM your competition, and help you OUTPERFORM your current sales and profits over the next year.

It’s a Record!

We are excited to announce record attendance this year! What’s even more exciting is all the new faces at Summit. Along with a record number of new attendees we welcome many industry influencers to their first Summit. Most are contractors or field people who share their knowledge online and host industry experts through their podcasts, streaming programs, and YouTube videos.

Our industry desperately needs these folks to continue to spread the message that we can do better. It warms my heart to see the next generation really taking hold of High-Performance HVAC and making it their mission – I know Rob Falke is smiling from heaven as well.

Look for podcasts, live streaming, and recorded video from Summit on our pages and numerous other social media influencer channels and pages.

Summit is really a year-round event. While we meet just once a year – it continues through the relationships built among the contractors, industry professionals, and NCI’s team of instructors and support staff.

I’m also excited to announce that Summit 2025 will be in Austin, TX. We have chosen an amazing resort. You’ll definitely want to take your family to this one! I have no doubt next year will be even bigger than this year as this movement continues to grow at a more rapid pace than ever.

To all those joining us this year in Asheville, WELCOME. I am so excited and honored to be with you. It’s going to be a blast!
