I learned about Amply Energy, earlier this year and was immediately blown away by their new app, a tool that creates a faster and more accurate process for comfort advisors who sell heat pumps. With Amply's app, you can instantly collect the data, run the calculations, and generate a heat pump design that both customers and install teams will love.
In this podcast I speak with Amply's co-founder, Ed Smith, about my personal journey over more than two decades of building and selling my heat pump installation business and why I think the Amply app is going to help other contractors grow their heat pump revenues.

I joined Ed Smith, co-founder of Amply Energy, for this episode of the Heat Pump Podcast.
I talk about my personal journey from employee to entrepreneur and from commercial trucking refrigeration to residential HVAC.
While examining my business, I found ductless heat pumps while at a Mitsubishi seminar, saw the beauty and profitability of a heat pump-focused operation, and set about revamping my entire business model. The success of that model is what led me to found Dominate Ductless -- so I could share those valuable learnings with other heat pump entrepreneurs. In this podcast I share some of the most important insights from my Dominate Ductless seminars, which are valuable to anyone trying to build a heat pump-focused business.
