Today, I got a call from an architect who I’ve given my services for free. I don’t call him a customer because he’s never paid me and I've never charged him. I suspect he’s done his homework on me and he knows that I am a decent, honest, professional. Since I last saw or spoke [...]

It’s not just accidents like in the Gulf that take their toll on the ecosystems of our planet.

This category of my blog posts deals with my personal stories of my experiences in the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) business, since 1980. My objectives with telling these stories are three-fold, for starters, as other objectives will surely arise. The first is to give you, the reader, an eye-opening into this vastly misunderstood field [...]

The importance of having your HVACR systems designed, installed and serviced correctly to provide the most economic fuel and electricity consumption, as well as be safe to operate.

These days there's much ado about wall-hung, cast aluminum, high-efficiency, condensing, gas-fired boilers. The awareness of the technology has reached the buying public, the HVAC consumer. The majority of boiler manufacturers have added these high-tech models to their list of product offerings. It's well known that these installation friendly, often esthetically pleasing, appliances have replaced [...]

With all the hype and stimulus money thrown in the direction of energy consumption, you'd think that conserving energy is a novel concept. All of a sudden we must create new technology to save precious Mideast oil, natural gas and electricity? Is the American consumer so forgetful and out of the loop that we are [...]

In these times of unstable fuel prices, I find it compelling to inform the consumer of fossil fuels that which your fuel supplier is not ready or prepared to tell you.

Got Flat Rate? By John Rocheleau The Advertising You've probably seen them: six-wheel box vans with billboard-size ads on the sides, sometimes displaying a blown up picture of a white-toothed smiley-faced middle class woman on the phone, suggesting everything in life is better for her, now that she’s found a disposable-booties-wearing plumbing & HVAC company.

On Monday, July 14th, 2008, I will be addressing the Inventors Association of New England-IANE- (http://www.inventne.org), which meets at the Massachusettes Institute of Technology. The topic of discussion will be: "John Rocheleau will discuss his 10-year experience as an independent inventor, starting with his first invention idea and culminating with his recent settlement with a [...]

Lessons In Invention Development (The Naïve Years - 1997-1999) By John Rocheleau Inventing is a precarious process, to say the least, but it can also be an educational experience of a lifetime. For me, the invention development process began with a problem and the thought that its solution lay with one tool design. I had [...]

The following is a letter I sent out to General Contractors in April that offers a simple way for them to ensure their HVAC subs perform fully on their contracts. Dear Building Contractor: Avoid costly litigation with HVACR subcontractors by hiring me, John Rocheleau, to inspect your sub’s work… before you pay his final invoice. [...]

In these times of high-energy prices, it's a natural to think about your heating and cooling systems' operational efficiency.
