FEATURE STORY

Jim Bergmann to Share with Arkansas HVACR Association Everyone knows something about Jim Bergmann. His YouTube training videos are among the most watched and are a must see for everyone, especially entry level and even those that have been around the industry for a while. Jim taught a Train the Trainer session for Arkansas HVACR instructors in October 2021. The course was an introduction to digital diagnostic equipment. It was endorsed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and sponsored by the Arkansas Office of Skills Development and the Arkansas Energy Office. Each of the colleges were gifted over $3,300 in equipment. The results were tremendous. Each of the participating colleges are now using digital diagnostic equipment and have offered 12 continuing education classes for local contractors. This was not the first time Jim played a role in the Arkansas HVACR industry. He collaborated to form the training for the Entergy and CLEAResult air conditioning and heat pump tune up program. That was about the time he rolled out Measure Quick. measureQuick ™ is Measurement Science at Work! It's a comprehensive application that: collects measurements, aggregates data, diagnosis faults, analyze and educates technicians. measureQuick ™ has the diagnostic tools to find problems technicians might miss, leaving revenue on the table and ultimately creating an eventual call back. Contractors who use

the measureQuick ™ diagnostic tool to find billable problems have found an increase of 40-60% in revenue. Now to the exciting news. Jim volunteered to make his training available to the Arkansas HVACR Association. This brings to Arkansas a continuance of the relationship he started years ago. We are fortunate and grateful to have Jim as our partner in training Arkansas HVACR techs. The following are links to some of our favorite YouTube training videos.
