Welcome to HVAC R&D
Where the Trades Talk Back.

Founded on the idea that Research & Development isn’t just for products—it’s for people too. HVAC R&D is a podcast and platform dedicated to building a better, more connected community of HVAC professionals and fellow skilled career tradespeople by learning from the past, embracing the present, and preparing for the future.

Join host Rhydon and the ever-growing #TradeCrew as they crack open a cold one and dive into real conversations about HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, business, mental health, and life in the trades. Whether you’re a field tech, a contractor, a rep, or a curious listener who just loves the industry, there’s a seat at the table for you.

With over 30 years in the field—from contractor to distributor to manufacturer rep—Rhydon brings insight, wit, and the occasional Crawlspace Confession to every episode, with one goal: To remind us that collaboration beats competition, and that every tradesperson has a story worth sharing.

So tune in, laugh a little, learn a lot—and remember: We’re all doing a little R&D out here.
