How do solar, batteries, and heat pumps all work together to create smarter, more efficient homes, and more profitable HVAC businesses?

In this episode of the HVAC ADHD Vodcast, host Jeremy Begley sits down with Brent Davidson, founder of the US Heat Pump Summit, to talk about the evolution of one of the fastest-growing events in the home energy space.

Brent shares how the Summit — now heading into its third event in Worcester, Massachusetts (November 18–19, 2025) — has grown from a small gathering of solar and HVAC innovators into a major industry hub, bringing together contractors, manufacturers, and business leaders to shape the future of residential energy.

They dive into the economics of dynamic power pricing, the importance of batteries in stabilizing the grid, and the real-world challenges of integrating solar, heat pumps, and smart controls for homeowners.

How the US Heat Pump Summit is redefining collaboration across HVAC, solar, and energy storage.
Why understanding battery economics and load management matters for contractors.
How to adapt your HVAC business to a rapidly electrifying world.
What’s next for the Summit and why 2025 is shaping up to be its biggest year yet.
