Last month the High-Performance HVAC Summit, held in Austin, TX from September 9-12. More that 210 contractors and others attended and set their compasses to Navigate their way to High Performance!

Hosted by National Comfort Institute (NCI), Summit brings together the best of the very best when it comes to High-Performance HVAC™ contractors. The highlight of this event is the Annual Award banquet where 11 contractors and their companies are recognized for their accomplishments as they pursue a high performance approach to business.

This year marks the 21st time NCI has presented these awards. NCI President and CEO Dominick Guarino told the banquet attendees that this is “our opportunity to spotlight real heroes who are doing more and going beyond just being NCI members and customers. You are the heart, the soul, and the foundation of this great NCI family.”

He added, “There is nothing in the world we’d rather be doing than working with the our customers day in, and day out to help you become more successful. It’s truly an honor and a privilege.”
