Commissioning with Purpose: Why HVAC Systems Deserve a Better Start with Rob Larson
About this episode
In this episode of Did You Know? The ESCO HVAC Podcast, Clifton chats with Rob from General Plumbing Supply about one of the most overlooked but essential practices in the HVACR industry: commissioning.
Rob shares how skipping proper system commissioning is like bringing a newborn into the world without a health check. From relatable analogies to hands-on best practices, this episode unpacks how proper commissioning protects equipment, improves performance, and simplifies future service calls.
They also discuss the evolving toolsets that make commissioning easier than ever, the value of training for both new and seasoned techs, and how a consistent "sequence of operation" mindset can transform the way we diagnose and support HVAC systems.
Whether you're a technician, trainer, or business owner, this episode is a reminder that quality starts at startup.
