Built by an operator. For operators.
If you own (or are about to own) an HVAC company — this is for you.
If you're a tech, a vendor, a supply rep, or someone "thinking about getting into the trade later" — this isn't.
This is a private, paid community for HVAC business owners who actually want to talk shop the way owners talk shop. Pricing. Hiring. P&Ls. Lawsuits. Exits. The stuff your wife is tired of hearing and your techs don't understand.

WHO'S RUNNING IT
I'm John Kelley. I built Johnston Air from a $3,200 startup in 1994 to a debt-free exit in 2018 — 24 years, no investors, no acquisitions, no inheritance.

I've been on every side of this business: in the truck at 22, on the roof at 35, in the boardroom at 50, signing the closing papers at 53.
