Late-Breaking 2024 HVAC Summit News

NCI’s 21st Annual High-Performance HVAC™ Summit is coming! It is the gathering place for high-performance contractors across North America and is the only event focused on servicing, selling, and delivering High-Performance HVAC systems. Summit 2024 is September 10-13 in Asheville, NC.

Registration is open and room reservations are starting to fill up.

This year’s theme is OUTPERFORM! Make High-Performance HVAC™ Your Secret Weapon for 2025 and Beyond.

Join fellow High-Performance HVAC contractors in Asheville to explore ways to outperform your competition, delight customers, and lead your marketplace as you set your priorities for 2025 and beyond.

The 2024 conference includes 11 breakout sessions. This month, let’s focus on two of them:

The Air Upgrade Cure: A Simple Solution to HVAC Equipment Failures: NCI’s Vice President of Training, David Richardson, will present this session and focus on two of the most common issues for equipment failures: excessive external static pressure and improper airflow.

He will show you how to correct these problems with Air Upgrades via testing, diagnosing, and creating a predetermined scope of work.

Also, Bryan Orr, president of Kalos Services and HVAC School, will present How to Solve the Top 10 Inverter Installation Issues. Inverter tech isn’t new, but newer products hitting the market today are causing concern because technicians are still learning about it.

Bryan will share the most common inverter issues technicians may encounter in the field, and how his HVAC company solves them to provide HVAC systems that operate at peak performance.
