    EXCLUSIVE: MATT MICHEL - MAX OUT AT HVAC COMFORTECH 2008



    This year, HVAC Comfortech is being held in Atlanta. It’s not often that Comfortech makes it to the Deep South. If you are one of the 2.35 gazillion or so air conditioning contractors located within 500 miles of the Southern Mount Rushmore, jump on this chance for the greatest learning opportunity in the industry by jumping in your truck and heading to Comfortech. If you’re 500 miles distant, it’ll take you less than 10 hours to make the trip per the Automobile Association or six hours if you drive like the Atlanta locals.

    EXCLUSIVE: ADAMS HUDSON- EIGHT REASONS YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR MISSING COMFORTECH 2008

    I’ve been going to Comfortech for 10 straight years, and I’ve learned how these things operate. I know the “sneaky” things they don’t put in their glossy brochures.
