  • 670. The Greatest Gift of Christmas
    Dec 25 2025

    At Christmas, it’s easy to get caught up in the noise — busy schedules, decorations, and expectations. In this special episode, Derek Cole slows things down to focus on what truly matters.

    The greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ.

    Drawing from Scripture and generations of faith-rooted values, Derek reflects on why Christmas is about more than warmth in our homes — it’s about faith, family, integrity, and loving our neighbors the way Christ taught us to.

    This episode is a reminder that how we live, how we serve, and how we treat people matters — not just during the holidays, but all year long.

    A heartfelt Christmas message centered on gratitude, trust, and the responsibility of serving others well.

  • 668. Stop Waiting for It to Break: Why Predictive HVAC Is the Future
    Dec 17 2025

    For decades, homeowners have been taught to wait until their HVAC system breaks before calling for help. That mindset is outdated — and expensive.

    In this episode, Derek Cole breaks down why reactive HVAC service costs homeowners more, how most system failures actually develop over time, and why predictive care is changing the future of home comfort.

    Drawing on nearly 25 years in the industry and 72 years of family experience, Derek explains how catching problems early leads to fewer breakdowns, fewer emergencies, and fewer surprise repair bills.

    If you’ve ever had your heat or air quit at the worst possible time, this episode is for you.
