The Mid-Coast Energy Systems Podcast
Stories, systems, and solutions from the folks who’ve seen it all. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts.
Looking for real stories from the trades, from a crew that’s been in the field for nearly 50 years? Each episode of the Mid-Coast Energy Systems Podcast goes beyond the blueprint. We talk shop about the jobs that pushed us, the systems we’ve built (and rebuilt), and the lessons learned by digging in and doing the work.
You’ll hear straight from the techs, leaders, and longtime partners who’ve helped build Mid-Coast Energy—one job, one fix, one solution at a time. This isn’t theory. It’s what you learn from years of crawling through basements, troubleshooting in zero-degree weather, and showing up when it matters.
If you work in the trades, are thinking about getting in, or just respect people who know their craft, this is the podcast for you.
Latest EpisodeTales from the Truck: Sheep, Satellites, and HVAC Stories
In This Episode
HVAC work isn’t always about furnaces and heat pumps. Sometimes, it’s about dodging a runaway sheep, coaxing a curious cat, or meeting a little dog with a big attitude. In this episode, Eric, Bill, and technician Joseph swap stories from the road — the animal encounters that come with the job, and the bigger challenge that’s always there: communication. From scratchy phone calls to satellite connections, Midcoast Energy Systems has had to keep evolving how crews stay in touch and keep the work moving.
But the real challenge isn’t just critters. It’s communication. From the days of scratchy phone calls to today’s satellite connections, Midcoast Energy Systems has had to adapt how they stay in touch — and keep the work moving.
Takeaways:
* How changing communication tools have reshaped HVAC work
* What happens when technicians meet Maine’s wildlife on the job
* Why good communication is just as important as good equipment
