Industry Blogs

Welcome to Mechanical-hub.com! I would first like to sincerely thank you for stopping in. John Mesenbrink and I hope to supply you with information that will help you run your business more successfully.

Let me start by introducing myself. I am the owner and operator of Aune Plumbing, LLC. I have been in business for approximately 10 years and work out of my home. As the business name suggests, I am a plumbing contractor but I specialize in boiler installation/repair and hydronic heating systems. I have written, on occasion, for Contractor Magazine and Phc News. I have had the fortune of meeting some very key people throughout our industry along the way. Many of whom you know well and will hear from or read about on this site. One very key friendship I have made along the way is that of John Mesenbrink. John is the former [long-time] Editor of Phc News. John has built lasting friendships throughout the industry over the last 10 years. Friendships that have already played a large role in helping us get this site off and running. With John’s vision and my technical know-how, combined with our passion of the plumbing, mechanical and heating industry, together we think we can provide a wealth of industry information for the today’s busy contractor right here online. Get up to the minute breaking industry news, videos, features, and new product and tool info, updated every day! As the name implies, we want to be your “hub” to the industry. We’ll get that information for you and we’ll direct you to where to go to find what you need — manufacturers’ sites, rep info, multi-media information, associations and industry pubs. We’ll provide it for you because we understand that you need info, and you need it fast!

Our goal, however gigantic and demanding, is to provide daily news updates, features, videos, etc. relevant to the mechanical, plumbing and HVAC contractor. Added to that will be insights, right here, in the form of blog posts by various people throughout the industry. We already have a long list of people we have asked to contribute blog posts over the coming months. Both John and I are passionate about hearing from people that we already know in the industry, as well as those less familiar to us. Let’s face it, there are a lot of conversations being left on the table and never really heard on a platform as large as this. We hope that offering a place to spark those flames, such as here on this site, will help each and every one of us.

As you peruse the site be sure to check out the featured articles for more in-depth information about such topics as new technologies, industry trends, jobsite showcases and much more.  But wait, there’s more! We have been visiting places throughout this great country over the last few months gathering video footage of events and people in the industry, and have included them on our site.

Our mission is to connect you, the contractor, to the manufacturer and their representatives, supply links to pertinent information such as installation manuals, manufacturer’s sites and product information and spec guides. Construction is already underway to build a state-of-the-art studio for video production focusing new product installations such as boilers, water heaters and much more. Add to those non-bias reviews/comparisons of new tools on the market first look opportunities for new products and testimonials from contractors throughout the United States.

I must say thanks again to you for taking your time to check us out. Please take a second to add your name to the email list for future newsletters [we promise to keep it relevant without inundating your inbox with unwanted messages], bookmark this page and be sure to like our Facebook page!
