Serial Entrepreneurship and New Beginnings with Tom Casey

In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh and Josh dive into the insights and experiences of Tom Casey, a veteran in the field of home energy conservation, HVAC design and engineering, and indoor air quality with over three decades of experience. His passion lies in creating homes that are not just comfortable but also safer, healthier, and more energy-efficient. His entrepreneurial skills are evidenced in his successful establishment and operation of three contracting companies: Climate Engineering, Climate Partners, and Dr. Energy Saver of Southern CT.

 

Currently, apart from consulting in the industry, Casey assists home improvement contractors in generating online leads to enhance their businesses. His unique approach to his field is grounded in practical experience and reality rather than abstract theory or elaborate concepts, which he asserts leads to superior results.

 

In addition to his hands-on work, Casey is also a respected author and teacher in his field. He has crafted training materials and systems, designed and built training exhibits, and even constructed labs for a national franchise energy training center. This multifaceted involvement in his industry has granted him opportunities to present at industry events and conferences regularly. Moreover, his expertise is frequently sought for contribution in some of the leading home and industry publications.
