S2E29 - Pump Sizing with Dave Holdorf of TacoComfort Apr 12, 2020

Show notes

The Boys take a break from the Coronavirus fallout talk to catch up with Dave Holdorf, technical trainer for TacoComfort. While many of us don't normally work on circulator pumps, most of us will at some point and it would be nice if we knew how to pick one. So, they gave Dave a call who agreed to teach us the basics of GPM and feet of head, and what to do with those numbers when we get them. There is never a dull moment in Jerkyland!!!

Show notes

In these trying times of the Coronavirus pandemic, the U.S. government has approved hundreds of billions of dollars to help small businesses survive. But knowing what's available for your business and how to get it can be confusing. This week The HVAC Jerks team up with the experts from HARDI to learn which programs to use, how they work, and what to expect.

The experts use Kevin's business to turn him from a hard core cynical skeptic, to a believer and champion of this cause. This is a serious subject that may determine the survival of, not only our HVAC world, but all small businesses and the way of life that we know. Please take the time to learn everything you can about these programs.

(And, yes, Anonymous Joe still gets an alias.)
