For nearly 45 years, I performed services for clients just like yours, and like you, I suffered frustration & heartbreak, and I poured out the blood, sweat & tears it takes to survive. Over time, I learned to change how I did things so I got more traction and better results.

What does it take to build a successful heat pump company from the ground up?
In this episode of The Heat Pump Edge Podcast, Joe Crisara sits down with Owen Grimsich, founder of 1-888-HEAT-PUMPS in Berkeley, California.
Owen shares how he went from being a football coach and math teacher in Ecuador to building a fast-growing heat pump company in California. His background in teaching, coaching, and curriculum development helped him create a training system that brings young people into the HVAC industry and develops them into skilled residential heat pump installers.
Owen also explains why he chose to focus almost entirely on heat pumps, how specialization helped simplify his operations, and why doing one thing repeatedly can create stronger technicians and a better customer experience.
You'll learn:
✅ How Owen got started in the heat pump industry
✅ How his company grew from $1.3 million in its first year to $6.7 million in its third year
✅ Why specialization can help a company stand out
✅ How to train new employees with little or no trade experience
✅ Why repetition and consistency create better installers
✅ How football coaching influenced Owen’s company culture
✅ Why customers value comfort, savings, and zone control
✅ How systemization can support business growth
✅ Why staying focused can be more powerful than chasing every opportunity
✅ What the future of energy and heat pump technology may look like
