Sitting in the historic Canadian Western Agribition boardroom with Kylie Beck and Shawna Fuchs was cool. Surrounded by pictures of the founding board, the past presidents, past CEO's and the Marketing posters/Logos of all 50+ years of show history.  We talk a little about the foundation of Agribition, its first board (Chris Sutter, Barry Andrew, Bill Small, Ken Halverson & Gordon Hollinger), some of the changes over the years and did our best not to get lost in the weeds of our favorite stories and times. Talking about Agribition with anyone that has attended just puts a smile on your face and always stirs up some of those great memories.  The 25th anniversary of the Beef Supreme is a big topic for CWA 2024! 25 years of winners and fun. 25 years of excellence and unique recognition for the best of the best. Being an Agribition Beef Supreme Champion is as close to Show Ring Immortalization as you'll find in the business. The future vision of Agribition is strong with a great plan behind it. President Shaun Kindopp wraps up the episode talking about just that.  Remember to check out the new Junior Steer Jackpot, Friday November 29 in the John Deere Sale arena at 2:00pm.

Bill Small's voice is a powerful creative tool that has been creating songs and conversations throughout his life as a professional musician, entrepreneur and business coach.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Bill describes the challenge of blending his passions for music and conversation in order to create the life he wanted, highlighting key shifts in his mindset that enabled a balance to emerge.During 35 years of performing and playing music and 20 years helping small business owners to thrive, Bill has accrued some wonderful stories and a huge amount of wisdom, not least through his experience of two of the biggest movements in personal development: The Landmark Forum and the Law of Attraction.In our deep and searching conversation he reflects on creativity, integrity, personal responsibility, and money.Alongside his work as a coach and as a musician, Bill is the co-host of The Subtle Art of Not Yelling podcast and co-founder of a creative community called The Box, both of which serve to help people chunk down their projects and get out of their own way in order to finish what they've made. In this episode, we talk about:Important versus interesting, and how we choose between themWhy finishing our creative projects mattersThe comparison sticks we beat ourselves withHow to show up as everything we are, instead of our divided selvesIntegrity, and what it means to honour your word as yourselfFinishing his work is something Bill has committed to in order to honour the creative process, and hearing him speak about how he approaches all aspects of his fiercely creative life is truly inspiring.To learn more about me, visit https://www.robbieswale.com/, and to learn more about Bill, visit https://www.artistmind.co/.For information about my wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

Who is Bill Small?Bill Small is no stranger to diversifying his skills; he's made his living as a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, Mystiquero, entrepreneur, artist, producer, vocal coach, business and personal coach... all facets that combine into a potent musical force evident on his latest release, Call Me Lucky.Bill grew up in a musical household where everyone could sing, just a stone's throw from the Big Apple. From Sinatra and swing to show-tunes. Todd Rundgren to Pink Floyd. Growing up in the 70's with FM radio and 2 older sisters to steal records from, he caught the music bug bad. Part of his teen years were spent learning everything he could about theater while working as a student performer and intern at The Whole Theater Company in Montclair, NJ. When he wasn't doing that he was writing songs and.....you guessed it, playing in bands! Bill moved around some during high school with his family, and then on his own after graduation, and always found a band to play music with. Playing in bands has been a constant for most of his life. After 2 years studying voice at at Berklee College of Music in Boston, and another couple of years living in Jersey and working in New York City, he decided to make a change. His family had lived in a magical place called Austin, TX before he was born, and when he was very young, they used to take family vacations to Texas. He had been hearing about all the great music there and of course, being in his "Guitar Slinger" phase, the lure of Stevie Ray was too hard to resist. Bill moved to Austin along with two great friends and fine musicians from Jersey, and they found themselves performing all over Austin in the early nineties as Heavy Weather.More bands came and went in the nineties (Radio Thieves, Stringbones), and a solo record entitled Singin. There was a move back to Boston, then to Nashville, a divorce and then finally a move back to Austin in 2004. As Bill puts it, fate intervened for his longest running band gig to date. “I got a call from my friend Marcus Eldridge, another old friend from Texas who had recently returned from Nashville. He was having lunch with my friend John Greenberg, and Walt Wilkins. I heard Walt in Nashville and we met once briefly, and I was a big fan of his music. Walt needed a band for a gig at Gruene Hall and John was kind enough to remind him that I played the bass. So the Mystiqueros were born on stage at Gruene Hall in the spring of 2006. Best band I've ever worked with. Period.”Since then, there's been more records produced and or engineered, lots of miles, lots of shows, and lots more to come. Call Me Lucky is Bill's latest solo offering...a soulful and thoughtful album full of plenty of stomp and groove. Coupled with Bill's unmistakable vocal style, it makes for a journey just as entertaining as his life story.

Matt Crawford speaks with musician, entrepreneur, business coach, mindfulness enthusiast and co-host of The Subtle Art of Not Yelling Podcast Bill Small. In this wide-ranging conversation we discuss what holds us back in life and how to take an artist's view of the world. How will looking at our life as our creation change it? If we take the view that we are the ones shaping our life instead of thinking that life is something that happens to us, where will that lead us? I hope you all enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

This week Brooke and Vincent got to speak to Bill Small who's a mindfulness enthusiast, business coach, musician, podcaster, and all around awesome guy. The conversation was wide-ranging with a lot of great nuggets about how to overcome the creative blocks that so many of us as creatives face in our work. Listen to this episode, and get unstuck!

On this episode of the podcast, Anson and I were joined by Austin based musician and business coach Bill Small. Bill is a multi-talented recording artist and performer that has recorded a handful of solo albums, in addition to a slew of singles, and live performances with a number of bands and other collaborators. After finding success over the years as both a recording and performing artist, Bill decided to branch out and start offering up his experience and serve as a business coach. We touched on things like artist development, the chemistry of a band, and what success as an artist means. We also touched on some of more cerebral side of things like connection, cutting through the bs, and more complex ideas like feeling your vision. It was a great conversation about music, business, and life.

Friends, welcome back to FPS. We LOVE talking music and on this episode, our Host, Pat Tully,  sits down with artist Bill Small. As far back as Bill can remember, there was music in the small household and he got the bug early, thanks to his sisters taste in music. He's made a living as everything from a singer to a songwriter to an entrepreneur and a Mystequiero...we'll find out what that means in the episode. Theater was a big love in Bill's life and in high school he worked at the Whole Theater company in New. Jersey. After high school he went to the Berklee College of Music in Boston.  He eventually made his way to Austin, TX where he has been a member of a few bands. The next (and current) stop on his music tour is Nashville, TN. Pat catches up with Bill and his life in Nashville, while discussing touring with his bands and the art of writing the perfect song.   Check out Bill's new music and stay connected with him on his website and his facebook page.

Bill Small is a performer, musician, and songwriter with more than 3 decades of experience in the music industry and is also a successful personal and business coach that owns the company, Artist Mind, which makes coaching available to small business owners. In this episode, we talk about his background and journey in the music industry and the evolution of music production; how working different jobs early in his career helped him figure out what he didn't want to do and forced him to lean more on his love for performing; the importance for musicians to build, engage, and grow an audience to have the ability to make money from music with as little as 1000 people on an email list; how melding his coaching business with his music career actually brought him more work because it made him unique rather than impure in each discipline; and why creatives should not wait to take action on their artistic goals because you never know what's going to happen tomorrow, so just show up, be present, and play.

On this Memorial Day weekend, people all over the country are ignoring social distancing measures meant to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Social distancing is recommended by doctors and in many cases ordered by state governments. But police say it's often nearly impossible to enforce. President Trump goes golfing twice, with the coronavirus death toll approaching a grim milestone. His administration moved last night to impose a coronavirus travel ban on Brazil. This morning, China warned it will take action if the U.S. undermines its interests in Hong Kong. Yesterday, thousands held their biggest protest rally in Hong Kong since the start of the corona-virus lockdown. Former Vice President Joe Biden backtracks after making racially insensitive remarks. This morning we fondly remember Bill Small, a leader who played a huge role in building CBS News.

Your hosts Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small do address germs in the house and steps you can take to minimize them with better ventilation and air purification. With so much more time being spent in the home, being certain everything is functioning as it should be is critical. Service is still taking place and the Brower team is as concerned about your health and safety as they are about the health and safety of their team. Best practices for safety have all been implemented to insure the safety of all parties concerned. With more time spent in the home, the demand on the HVAC systems will grow and highlight the inefficiencies of your system. Now is a great time to assess the operation since you’re home all day to identify its’ functions. Knowing the available options could lead to rebates and reduce the costs necessary to upgrade. You’ll also hear in detail, the rationale for rebates and why the utilities are willing to pay you to do so. This is a compelling discussion that Duane explains in simple terms. Today’s caller is a live interview with an incredible story from a very satisfied customer that took some suggested steps to improve the air quality in her home. Impacted with COPD and asthma, Loretta explains the difference an air “scrubber” system with UV germicidal technology has made in her ability to breathe and the story is truly remarkable. The story from Loretta gets clarified by Duane to be certain the understanding of the UV germicidal is well understood. The explanation does exactly that and it’s important to understand if this might be a consideration for you. It’s not a cure all and still requires responsibility for good germ protection given the current situation. Today, however, it is a consideration worth investigation.

Hear from your hosts Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small address changes taking place in various communities throughout the state as natural gas bans are taking place. Lots of dialogue and many concerns about what this all means to so many businesses. There aren’t solutions yet but many issues. The utility companies are out to help you change your behavior. They’re offering incentives to change from gas to electricity. Not only is this technology an improvement in reducing expense, it also improves the comfort level in the home. There’s a great case study in the conversation. Today’s caller has concerns about his wife’s medical issues and PG&E power shutoffs. Here’s a great call relative to the interest people have in getting backup power. There are opportunities to get consideration for the expense when there is a medical issue in the household but you’ll need to know the proper steps to get the most support. Hear some of the suggestions Duane would address to minimize the anxiety. Battery technology is advancing at an incredible clip and everybody is jumping into the space. You’ll hear Duane and Bill talk about some of the considerations during power outages. Hybrid systems are going to be the norm with solar, generator and battery setups.

This episode is a special excerpt from the March 8th weekend broadcast show that focuses specifically on the interview with Dr. Thomas Hopkins. Dr. Tom walks your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small through some of the steps to take to keep your home healthy and possibly prevent Coronavirus or the flu from spreading in your home. Some wise and simple steps to continue to keep your home a safe, healthy and comfortable living environment! For more information on additional steps you can take to improve the overall efficiency of your home's operation, call Brower Mechanical 16 916-624-0808 or on line at www.browermechanical.com. If you would like to reach out to Dr. Tom, he can be contacted thru his website, www.hopkinsmd.com

Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small start the show with a conversation getting into the values of a healthy home. There are many things to consider for the house and Duane describes some of the elements to consider. Some may be obvious but others not so much. Utilities are a very significant element of your opportunity to maximize efficiency in your home’s operating expense. Knowing your options vs the utility pricing could vary the decision considerably. Duane explains the process to help in the evaluation with some great case study description. If you’re considering upgrades for your home, be sure to listen in. It’s well worth your time. This is a special segment with a guest interview with Dr. Tom Hopkins addressing the preventative steps you can take in the home to address both Coronavirus and the common flu, a much more devastating disease in our society currently. Very good reminders that can fall by the wayside as the concerns mount. Dr. Tom spoke about some of the critical elements necessary for safety in the home with regard to many viruses. Yes, that includes the Coronavirus and flu. Duane explains how current technology can support the prevention in your home and some of the steps you can take to do your best for your family. For more information on some of the common steps you can take, call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Your hosts Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small start with some of the concerns with generator power as well as some of the options when you must consider a solution to getting power to your home. You do have options and while Generac is the leading provider, Briggs & Stratton is also a choice. Hear more from the conversation as well as next steps on home usage and energy upgrades. The landscape of electricity usage has changed dramatically. How utilities bill you has changed dramatically as well. Rates are always in play and are most likely to increase rather than decrease. There are options and best practices to understand. Heating and cooling the home are the two greatest considerations to evaluate when you’re looking to improve the efficiency of your home’s energy consumption. The case study in this example is remarkable and one you’ll want to hear. Cooling your home for under $400 throughout the year would likely be considered significant for most of us. The clipboard audit revealed the opportunities. Now, for those rats… the call to Brower is one with a significant sense of urgency. The situation got so bad it was affecting the health of the inhabitants in the house. Insulation was badly impacted but they had also eaten into the ductwork as well. Not a good situation. But a great solution that accomplished more than one thing. Back to generators for the home. The state of CA is offering options to help those in need. The qualifications are discussed in this segment. Battery technology appears to be the direction the state of California is taking to offset power outages and PSPS. Hear Duane explain some of the details you’ll want to take into account in the event you may qualify of have a need. For more information, call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Generator power is going to be a big consideration heading into the summer season which is really closer than you think. What to consider? Your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small are turning up the juice with the discussion about utility expense and how it ties into your decision on what to do. And keep in mind Generac generators require service in the first 24 hours of run time. Brower can help. Whole house fans continue to be a viable option for consideration to save money on your utility bills, or, as you’ll hear in the discussion, they can also reduce your solar requirement. Even up to 5 panels and that means $5,000 in savings too! The value of workshops is clearly indicated by the caller from this segment as he schedules his home audit. The consideration for his questions is evident in the responses he receives and that’s one of the unique propositions you’ll be sure to get whenever you reach out to Brower Mechanical. Now, if your water is heated with gas or heated with electricity does it matter. YES!!! Not in the temperature of your water but in the cost of your effort to heat it. Electric water heating is more efficient and less expensive and there’s a huge incentive if you’re in the SMUD territory for service. A $3000 rebate for example. That’s an incredible value to convert to electric water heating and it will also reduce your operating bill each month as well. Learning all the details is critical and that’s the reason to call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small are sweating it out today after the record heat this week. So, did you notice anything with your home? Is it ready for the heat? Did you know until recently, your solar would not run your house in the event of a power outage? Find out what the new technology is in this segment as there are options now to have your solar run your home in the event of outages of any kind. The significant emphasis of the clipboard audit can’t be underplayed and they are the answer to your questions. What’s up with the cost of gas? And we’re not talking gas for your car or gas in your belly. We’re talking natural gas in your house. The costs are creeping up and up and that plays into the decision on what your appliances should be; electric or gas. It’s an important decision going forward as you have to consider what’s happening in the future. It’s also important to know where you are. SMUD territory or PG&E territory. They differ greatly. This is one discussion you’ll want to hear. Duane breaks into a conversation from a case study and how one customer wanted to connect a portable generator to run his entire home in the event of a PSPS. This was a temporary situation and he eventually wanted a permanent whole house generator. What they found, and the way to make this happen is nothing short of amazing. Is bigger better? Well, if you know this show, you know the answer. Listen to find out how the explanation goes. You may learn there’s an option for you to save some money if you’re in the market for a new HVAC system. If it takes 13 minutes to reach peak efficiency and it’s too big, guess what? Yes, the answers are here. To learn more, check it out…call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Your hosts Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small get right into the stories of change as a moment of reflection from the show’s beginning over four years ago to the significant differences then to now. And, wow, are things different. Nobody knew what a PSPS was back then, or electrification with induction cooking, or… Electricity is all the rage for efficiency going forward. A lot is going on in this field and you’ll hear the story of an ideal situation for the efficiency sake of things, about a homeowner who actually ended up getting a net even deal on top of getting value add with solar and other equipment. This would be a win win all around. Ultimately, this would likely result in a higher home value as well. An intangible until time to sell. What is the difference between a revitalization and a tune-up for your HVAC system? You may find that many companies are going to send two people out because one is a sales person and the other a tech. The goal of that company is simple. Sell you something. At Brower, it’s just the opposite. You’ll have one person show up and they’ll go thru the process of safety and maintenance with your equipment. If there are issues, not a problem. They’ll give you the report and you can make the choices and decision on your own. That’s a huge difference. With all the news about natural gas issues and the impact on the average customer, it’s not a bad idea to be aware of what the options are going to be at some point in the future. How do you make the decision to electrify? By getting educated, that’s how. Who better to get that information from? Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Hear your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small begin the conversation as it leads down the path to changes in the industry for home energy, solar and the dramatic differences from just a few years back. What’s changed is the myriad of options you now have to do what you need to do to get more comfortable, spend less and live healthier in the home. Wouldn’t you love to be able to make a “last payment” to your utility company? It can be done with the slight exception of having to pay for the connection, but that’s a minimal number and not one that will be going up as aggressively as power. Not to mention, you don’t want be caught short in the event an emergency arose and you needed utility power. Continuing the discussion, electrifying other elements of the home, Duane explains the value proposition of rebates and reduction of expense that net a gain after the total investment is complete. There are some great stories here that are well worth the time to listen. Case studies clarify the opportunity for you to compare to your own situation. Our caller today has a 16 year old furnace and a/c unit that is beginning to act up. Sometimes, the problem may not be the symptom for your homes’ energy. Hear what the suggestions may be to optimize the situation in the home do it right. What is the Brower Power Plan? Learn how Brower Mechanical will give you assurances for your power where there are concerns for the consistency of your utility’s delivery. When you do this process correctly, you’ll save money since your power supply assets will be much smaller than if you don’t execute the plan properly. Hear Duane address many of the elements that are necessary to get this done with examples of things to consider. Then take the next step to get your home assessed and see what your best options are. Call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small, start where the year left off with portable generators for backup power. It’s not too soon to get your home ready for potential power shutoffs. Properly wiring the house to make the generator startup simple and safe is something you’ll want to do sooner than later… before you find yourself with no power. Sooner better than later. This is also an excellent time to have the electrical panel checked while you’re at it. WII-FM. Everybody’s favorite radio station. What’s In It For Me? Hear the explanation and the relationship to SMUD or any of the utilities as what gets evaluated when determining to get the energy expense under control. It’s always boiled down to what the most benefit to the customer is going to be. Get your home right, sealed tight, rebates earned. Tune into the station and get your home where you want it to be...then you can enjoy listening to that really low utility bill speaking to you. First in, last out. Last in wins. Old sales adages die hard but when considering what’s best for your home, Brower always wants to be first in. That way you have a great comparison when the rest of the characters come in to try to “sell” you something. You’ll also have a great template to ask questions from when the “other” guys come in. Start first with the true experts in home energy and then engage your other estimates from there. Better results in writing when it comes to your home’s energy consumption? And really, you’re going to cut the size of the A/C in half? Tell me! Tell me! This is the segment you’ll want to hear. The attic is where the greatest opportunities exist and once correctly sealed, it could reduce the size of the equipment necessary. And, you’ll get a written guarantee on the energy consumption as well. It really doesn’t get much better does it? This is why you need to give Brower Mechanical a call today. Efficiency, health and quiet. The number is 916-624-0808. Or you can visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Yes, you may be thinking that’s how long a furnace can run or your AC unit. Not so true. Your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small, share that it’s Brower Mechanical that’s been around 40 years. That means, they know the “guy”. Or the “girl”. When you need something relative to the home that may not be a service provided, Brower is surely going to know who to send you to for handling that issue. Continuing into the second segment, you’re going to hear all about zero energy homes and the requirements for the state on all new home construction. It’s more loosely related to zero net electricity usage. However, a truly zero net energy home would be all electric, no gas or other power source. Find out what that really looks like in the conversation and where the trend is headed. You’ll be surprised at the incentives to support the process. When is too much too much? When you get solar before upgrading the home to energy efficiency. The current average should be 1 panel for every 1500 SF. You can even do better depending on how well your home is sealed. At $1000 per panel, the offset easily can go into those upgrades yielding a much more efficient and valuable home. Address the symptoms of the home before you try to cure the problem. Here’s the elephant in the room. What if you’re considering a backup generator? Then you would certainly want the most efficient home you could create. You’ll need a smaller generator as a result. And of course, saving you money on the size of the generator as well. That’s truly the win-win-win. Know the end of the game before you start to play. Why would you look forward to a PG&E rate increase? Because you’ve got an efficient home with solar. You’re now saving more money than prior to the rate increase. That makes you smile. If you know what you’re trying to accomplish with the home before you invest in any energy products, you’ll be way ahead of the game. This is what Brower Mechanical does best. To get your free clipboard audit energy assessment, give them a call at 916-624-0808. Or you can visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com

Your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small dive right into the holiday discussion with a consideration to energy. Do solar panels impact the ability for Santa to land on the roof? What’s up with Tesla and why is natural gas going up in price? Duane starts this segment off with a little explanation about why the cost of natural gas is going up vs down when the actual cost of gas is down significantly. (hint: distribution). Following that discussion, why are home values in PG&E areas possibly getting challenged? Fires and power shutoffs don’t do you any favors when you’re looking to sell. BUT, there are solutions and they’re called energy upgrades. How you convey the value if you’re selling in these areas are to be able to demonstrate value with solar and backup power. So, the homes with these options for stabilizing utility costs and minimizing interruptions are going to get the greatest ROI on those investments as they’ll sell first… and likely for a premium. Does your furnace have issues? The caller in this segment does and it’s quite serious if not addressed. Listen as Duane explains the situation and the significance of ignoring the problem. Carbon Monoxide poisoning could be a very serious concern and one you do not want to mess with. This is a safety concern to be aware of. How does electricity compare in similar situations? You’ll hear it all in the conversation. OK, so it’s gotten a bit colder out, furnaces are firing up and people are more aware today than historically so they’re realizing that the attic is important to help keep the house more comfortable. It’s not just insulation but that’s a good place to start. Then sealing everything up right and tight and being certain there are no leaks improperly outside and no leaks improperly into the home. The “cool tools” used to identify the issues make all the difference to get it absolutely right. A clipboard audit would help identify this issue so it’s important to start with an assessment to get it right. And…what about those rebates and options? Brower knows. Don’t wait, call Brower Mechanical today. 916-624-0808. Or you can visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com.

Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small start today’s conversation with generator hookup considerations. Do it right for sure but more importantly, have a plan to keep you and your family safe. It’s not as simple as you might expect and the most simple approaches may be the most dangerous. Building science and home performance. What? Well, this is going to give you an idea of how this whole thing about getting it right came to be for Duane when he decided to literally change the entire direction of his company. Yes, it’s all about home energy, indoor air quality and comfort. More importantly, that means your inner peace and health. Yes, it’s that significant. Back to that Clipboard Audit, this is where you start. For Free. It’s that simple. Then, Duane goes off on some case studies to really hammer home the values of the outcome of those clipboard audits. And your utility company thoughts on this? Check it out at any of their websites and you’ll see how consistent they are in the process. No surprise, they totally agree to get that plan in place with a audit, FIRST. Callers are always fun to hear their objectives. This caller is no exception. Educated customers are no surprise given the options on the internet and here is a customer that knows the brand and the fuel type she would like to get a proposal for and hookup. These are the best types of customers Brower loves to engage with as the expectations are clear. The ability to articulate the need and the understanding of the process just makes everything that much better when the decisions need to be made. So how do you keep up with utility bills in retirement? Can you afford the roller coaster billing from the utility company? Do you even want that sort of fluctuation? Well, there are ways to fix your utility bills so you have some security, especially in retirement. This is an incredibly important segment as there are ways to help you get to the comfort of knowing what that utility bill looks like. No hype, no gimmicks, this is something you should consider if that’s something you would like to see happen. As always, for more information on the topic, give Brower a call at 916-624-0808. Or you can visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com.

Opening the show with a bit of a chill in the air, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small get a bit more into the detail and process for a clipboard audit. If you’ve been aware, and not fully comprehending the specifics, you’ll get the details in this conversation. Then you’ll hear a bit more on the topic of discussion at every holiday dinner table…generators. It’s probably become a more engaging conversation than politics at the dinner table with relatives with a little less polarization. Choices are everything and today’s home energy options are so diverse. New homes are no longer using natural gas, they’re totally electric, solar, battery and more. What are some of the reasons, some of the elements to consider, best ways to go? This is the story to be told as the country makes it’s shift to different ways to do things. Even your vehicle is now able to be fueled in your home. No extra stopping at the gas station. No time wasted fueling up. No pollution either. Remarkable. You’ll be sure to learn something you didn’t know you didn’t know. This is a most interesting call as the caller is fluent in the process of what to do during a PSPS and how best to connect his home. He wants to be most cautious and do it right. He is looking at wiring directly to his home, minimizing the cords and hassle. The Brower representative walks him, and you, through pre-wire options in detail. This is a critical listen if a portable hard-wired unit is something of consideration for your home. Our guest this segment is David Duffield from Champion Power Equipment. Listen up as this is going to be an informative segment. Hear recommendations and options you have when the power situation is less than stable. Should you choose a portable or a home standby system? There are a considerable amount of risks that you should be aware of. They occur with both the unit itself as well from fuel to carbon monoxide and heat. Then you have the connection. Are you running extension cords? Open windows? Moving appliances to get the cord. Does that open window create an issue in itself? Would you be better off if you ran it through your own home’s wiring instead? Maybe even safer? To make these things happen, help is only a phone call away. Call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or you can visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com.

Your hosts, Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small give you an early payoff on that turkey oriented headline. Yes, it’s a joke from Duane’s nephew and you can’t help but laugh. Bringing a little humor to the program always helps lighten and brighten some of the great information they share like home energy to, well, lighten and brighten your home! As a continuing reminder, the solar tax credit does go down from 30% to 26% in 2020 so this is just about the last call on this to make it in time to get your full credit and solar installed in time. Energy upgrades are a popular conversation in nearly every show. And what better way to be more thankful during the holiday then to save a little money on your utility bill? Back to energy upgrades, they’re discussed in one way or another and you can be sure the detail of the upgrades can’t be understated. They not only reduce overall utility expense, but they also increase home value. Not to mention this is a much more comfortable, healthier and less expensive home to run and enjoy. These energy upgrades are such a valuable proposition, you absolutely want to get the clip board audit to start the process. This is before you do anything to change the energy scheme in your home. The worst case would be oversizing your solar requirements and then upgrading only to find you need far less solar to fuel the electricity. That would be a terrible situation to find yourself in and the case study today, really exemplifies that. How does going from two HVAC units to one sound as a start? The story ends very well. The caller in this segment seems to be in need of something that Brower offers and that’s a regularly scheduled visit to do both filters and tune up for both A/C and heat. The automatic activity takes all the burden off your mind. Hear why it’s worth the investment. Finally, what does it look like when your power is derived from alternatives? Do you think cooking the turkey in an alternative powered oven makes it taste different? Uh, no. So the discussion begins with PG&E power purchase agreement, to solar to more. Would 17 cents per kilowatt for a 20 year fixed price make sense with very little out of pocket expense? How about 14 cents for financed solar? Still way better than the twenty something cents for your utility bill on a roller coaster depending on the month. You can get a fixed payment. You can budget for your utility expense for the next 20 years. And of course, the least expense going forward would be to simply pay cash and buy outright. Then, no significant utility bill.

Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small open the conversation with our incredible, albeit dry, weather of late. Wow. Who needs air conditioning or heat in paradise, right? Well, the show really is all about home energy so a slight regression occasionally is perfectly OK. So you know something needs to be done, where it is you begin. What do you do? Where and when do you start? You’ll hear this time and time again, get a complimentary clipboard audit. Learn what you need to consider. Are you a good candidate for the idea you have to address your home’s energy needs? In other words, don’t do solar first! Start with an assessment. And then learn your options with rebates. You have many ways to go. You’ll hear it all here. I’ll bet you didn’t think your fridge, TV or any device in your home might notice a difference on how it gets power…or did you? Well, it doesn’t matter. Electricity is electricity. Doesn’t matter where it comes from. Now, if solar has been a consideration, this is the time to get a clip board audit, determine what your true need is going to be, what you can do to minimize the number of panels and maybe even move on then to get the solar ordered today to take advantage of the full tax credit benefit in 2019. Next year is less. Give it some serious thought and make that decision today, before it’s too late to get it installed. And if PG&E is still making you nervous, there’s always generator power to consider. Hear how proper wiring makes the process so much easier. Todays’ caller is right in line with what you might expect from a generator call given the recent power shutoffs. You’ll notice he’s is quite aware of what he needs. This is very impressive at the consumer level and you can be sure, he’ll get the best result given his particular situation. Yes, this particular homeowner is a victim of recent power shutoffs and is concerned about what’s going to happen going forward. He’s even got specific goals that he’s looking to meet. A very good call indeed. So, if you’re giving consideration to solar before the tax credit changes, you’re going to want to seriously consider battery backup as well. They’re both eligible for the credit when you do it right. And that’s the key consideration. How much backup and energy you need on the front side of it all is a big question. There’s one way to find out quickly and that’s to call Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808. Or you can visit on-line @ www.browermechanical.com.

Wow. PSPS, Public Safety Power Shutoffs have been all the conversation when it comes to home energy of late. Solutions, temporary or permanent, begin the show and your hosts Duane Knickerbocker and Bill Small get it going right from the start. Even some very simple solutions to keeping the fridge cold and minimizing loss. So what happens when these outages occur and does it impact your home equipment? May be…. are power surges possibly impacting or ruining your home appliances? Hear Duane explain the details and benefits of solar installation after home energy upgrades, not prior to doing them. Power is a critical thing when you’re used to it so the case studies discussed give great examples of how the proper approach is an efficient way to go. This applies not only to solar but also to generator power. The principals are the same. Get the home right first and then invest the money to keep it as you like it. Exactly as you like it. In every area of the house too. But that’s not all. The outcome and expense in operation of your newly upgraded, energy efficient home is also guaranteed. Yes. You would receive a guarantee on the monthly bill for the use of your newly upgraded home. Ready to save some big money? How about a $3000 rebate from SMUD on your installation of a new heat pump water heater? That’s literally like getting the water heater free. And, your monthly bill will go down by about 50% if you’re converting from gas. Be sure to explore this option if you’re currently looking or even think you might be in need soon. It’s that worth it. Closing the show out, the conversation moves to solar and battery backup. Timing is now if you want to get the maximum tax credit on your investment. Next year, the credit reduces a bit. The good news is that there is still time to get it done this year. Plus, if you install battery backup at the same time, the credit also applies to your battery backup as well. Bill calls the seamless process of battery backup power “wonderfulness”. And it is. Nothing for you to do in a power outage. It all happens seamlessly. If you’re in an area prone to short term power outages, this is a fantastic solution to what’s going on in your home. Following the batter backup situation is the generator alternative. Portable or permanent generator? What’s best for your situation? There’s a quick way to find out and that’s to reach out to Brower Mechanical at 916-624-0808.
