In this thrilling and engaging episode of the HVAC Uncensored Podcast, Gil dives into a dynamic and lively conversation with Pat, who is affectionately known by his nickname, Nasty HVACR. Pat has been deeply immersed in the HVAC trade for many years, during which he has accumulated an impressive wealth of experience and knowledge. Throughout his career, he has consistently been a tremendous supporter of our show and numerous others, often actively participating in the chat by sharing his insightful opinions and innovative ideas. I am genuinely thrilled and excited that he has finally agreed to join us on the show, allowing us the opportunity to hear his thoughts firsthand rather than just reading them online. This particular episode is one that I cover quite frequently: Mental Health. I have been open about my own struggles with it, sharing my personal journey and experiences with our audience. However, for Pat to come on and be so raw and honest about his situation, I am extremely proud of him because I know firsthand how incredibly hard it can be to open up in such a public manner. Most importantly, I am extremely grateful to him for sharing his story with us, in the hope that it not only helps him but also assists someone else who might be going through similar challenges. His courage and willingness to be vulnerable are truly commendable, and I believe it will resonate deeply with many listeners.

In this episode of the HVAC Uncensored Podcast, Gil delves into a variety of myths that are prevalent within the HVAC trade. While the majority of these misconceptions are held by homeowners, it is unfortunate that some technicians also subscribe to a few of these inaccurate beliefs. The primary focus of this episode is on education, aiming to inform and enlighten rather than to criticize or embarrass anyone. In fact, we will be addressing one particular myth that I myself had previously believed to be true. However, I am confident enough to acknowledge my mistake and use this opportunity to learn and grow from it. Through this discussion, we hope to provide valuable insights and address these misunderstandings, ultimately benefiting both homeowners and HVAC professionals.

In this episode of the HVAC Uncensored Podcast, Gil welcomes his good friend and fellow podcaster Everett Lippell for an engaging discussion. They are both eager to share their incredible experiences from AHR 2026, which took place in the vibrant city of Las Vegas. The event featured numerous booths where attendees could explore the latest tools, innovative products, and cutting-edge technology. Beyond the impressive displays, AHR 2026 provided a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and forge new connections within the industry. Gil and Everett emphasize that AHR is such a remarkable experience that everyone in the trade should have the chance to attend at least once in their lifetime. This episode offers listeners a unique perspective from both Gil and Everett, providing valuable insights and highlights from their time at the event. Everett Lippel is an HVAC leader, industry storyteller, and microphone-friendly troublemaker. Host of the "So I Was In This House" Podcast with over two decades in home services, he's built a career helping teams serve smarter, serve better, and stop leaving jobs on the table.

Little about Everett if you don't already know.

Everett's podcast blends real-world field experience with humor, insight, and the occasional war story.

When he's not talking HVAC, you'll likely find him on stage with a guitar, proving talking isn't his only performance skill.
