In this episode of EC&M On Air, Ellen Parson sits down with some of this year's executives from the Top 40 Electrical Design Firms, based on electrical revenue from 2025: Nicki Sparks, P.E., principal and electrical engineering leader at HED, and Adam Toth, P.E., president of Toth & Associates. They discuss where the majority of today's electrical design work is coming from and what will continue to drive engineering firms over the next several years.    Their conversation was so in depth that we decided to split it into two parts — you can check Part 2 when it releases next month. 

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.In the world's most dangerous working environments it can seem like everything is out to kill you. The equipment you use. The materials you work with. The very air you breathe. Stored energy is a coiled viper waiting for the right moment to lash out. Owners, manufacturers, contractors, and beyond have developed safety protocols to combat STCKY, that is, Stuff That Can Kill You. Gravity, Motion, Mechanical, Electrical, Pressure, Sound, Radiation, Biological, Chemical, Temperature. This season is all about the means of murder as authors put our STCKY detective skills to the test. This is Season 9, Stuff That Can Kill You.This is Episode 19, where drowning is our STCKY means of death. This is Ping by Robert J. BinneyDELIBERATIONIt's another conundrum and Henri suspects everyone. Let's see if we can help him bring this case to a close and get him that macchiato he's been Jonesing for. Here's Henri's “do not trust” list, in the order we met them:• Mayor Tom Vaughn, Politian, ‘nuff said• Assistant Chief Rorschach, the man uses spit to fix his hair• Janet from IT, crushing on the ink stain• Judith the Comptroller, the money lady• John Smith, almost forgot himMembershipsAlright, before we dive back into the Henri's craziness, we gotta talk memberships. We've got three tiers now — the Grave Digger's Union, which is free because apparently we're philanthropists… or bad at business.Then there's the Cadaver Collective — four bucks a month. That's literally the price of a gas station coffee that tastes like sadness and burnt hopes.And if you're feeling fancy, we've got the Preservationist Society at eight bucks. That's the tier for people who want to say, ‘Yes, I support delusion storytellers who got their hands on a pair of microphone.Your membership keeps our real human authors fed, our software from becoming self aware, and the ads from clawing their way into the show.If you're not ready for commitment, you can still drop us a tip and leave a pun so bad it legally counts as a haunting. It's all on our website www.m2d4podcast.comAnthologyHey, before we answer the real question bothering Henri … who ruined Maxine's dye job with chlorine?— quick save the date. Our Season 9 companion anthology drops this October 13. Yes, an actual book. Words. Pages. Deliberation.So mark your calendars, carve it into a pumpkin, tattoo it on your soul — October 13.

What does it look like when an entire industry builds its own data infrastructure — and then has to reimagine itself for the AI era?Patrick Knight, President & CEO of IDEA, joins Karthik Chidambaram to talk about what makes IDEA unlike any other company in the B2B supply chain space: it's not VC-backed, it's not chasing an IPO — it's owned by the industry it serves (NAED and NEMA), and everything it builds is aimed at making electrical distribution smarter and more efficient.In this episode, Patrick unpacks how AI is reshaping supply chain data management, why data accuracy matters more than speed when wrong specs can cause real physical harm, and what IDEA's digital transformation into a full SaaS company looks like over the next five years. He also breaks down IDEA's flagship products (IDEA Connector and IDEA Exchange), newer offerings like DataWhispers and Cross-Check, and the push to adopt ETIM North America standards across the supply chain.If AI, supply chain innovation, or the future of B2B distribution is on your radar, this one's worth your time.

Last year he sold and installed $703,000 in plumbing — as a technician, in Amarillo. Zachery Kongsy is a service technician at Frank's Repair Plumbing in Amarillo, Texas. He sold and installed $703,000 last year, his second straight year past the CertainPath plumbing Crown Champion threshold — in his third year holding a license.  He spent nine years in restaurants first: Subway, Burger King, Texas Roadhouse. His stepdad has been at Frank's for 32 years and all three of his brothers worked there too. One shift at Roadhouse, two of them showed him their checks. "I was like, I can do that." He applied, got hired the same day, and started as an apprentice the next morning — riding with a seven-time Crown Champion, taking notes from the back of the room. The part he volunteers without being asked is the part most technicians hide: "Before I got this job I was very shy. Would not talk to anybody. Couldn't even start a conversation."  What changed was method, not personality. He still gives himself pep talks driving to the house. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, start to finish. In this conversation, you'll discover:  • Why he is in the gym at five and through the call histories before the trucks roll  • What he reads on the front of a house before he ever knocks on the door  • Why he never diagnoses alone — and the four words that explain it • How he builds three options out of sight, then reveals the membership savings last  • The line he uses when a $300 repair turns out not to be $300 • Why he gets a shovel in the ground the same night, even at eight o'clock  • The review ask at the door that lands nine times out of ten Whether you run a plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or roofing company, Zachery's process shows how a shy third-year technician turns ordinary service calls into $703,000 a year.  Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.

A secondary power loop can look completely healthy while creating problems that technicians chase for months. A valve struggles to reach the set point. A controller randomly reboots. An actuator behaves inconsistently. Nothing trips, and the panel looks normal. If you work in building automation, these symptoms can point to an electrical load problem that was built into the system long before the service call arrived. In Episode 562 of The Smart Buildings Academy Podcast, you'll learn how to think through secondary power loops before installation and how to evaluate existing loops when intermittent problems start appearing. The goal is not simply to make the equipment work today. It is to build power systems that remain reliable as devices are added, loads change, and systems operate under real conditions. Topics Covered • Why overloaded secondary power loops can be difficult to recognize in the field • What needs to be considered when estimating transformer capacity • How startup conditions and voltage drop affect BAS devices • Common secondary power loop mistakes that create intermittent failures • How field measurements can validate your design assumptions A small amount of planning can prevent years of troubleshooting problems that never look like power problems.

Want the exact break-even system we use to make service pay the bills and take the pressure off project work?Grab the Service Break-Even Playbook inside the SLE Pro App and steal the whole system:https://serviceloopelectrical.com/pro-appAnd if you want to see how we build a residential service business that produces more from the calls you already have:• https://youtu.be/ZyILtxhm0RQ————————————Most electricians grow by chasing more work…Take every project.Keep every guy busy.Bid tighter when things slow down.Hope the next big check arrives before the bills do.Repeat until your cash flow looks like it was wired by a first-year apprentice with a blindfold on.Meanwhile…We've worked with electrical contractors at every stage of growth.And the healthy ones tend to follow the same basic shape.Like Mario Kart.Different track.Same goal: stay out of the wall.Because great growth doesn't feel like constantly outrunning payroll…It feels like control.But behind the scenes?The best growth is built more like a breaker panel.Know the load.Build the capacity.Then add more.In this video, I break down the exact service-first break-even system that helps electrical contractors:• calculate the monthly number the business actually needs to survive• use service to create a more predictable cash-flow baseline• bid project work with less desperation and more freedom• delegate sales, scheduling and customer communication as the company grows• grow aggressively without confusing sold revenue with actual profitInside, I'll show you:• the simple break-even model for using service to help pay your company's bills• how Kevin went from roughly $30K–$60K months to selling around $500K in work during massive growth• why $500K sold does NOT automatically mean you're making $500K — or even making money• how one service van can produce roughly $80K–$100K a month while supporting a much larger operation• why buying projects just to keep electricians busy is a broken way to grow• how a healthy service department can give you more freedom to say no, price properly and survive delayed project payments• why Kevin hired Olivia and John to pull scheduling, customer communication and sales off his plate• how accidentally missing a bid by roughly $40K–$50K exposed why being the cheapest contractor isn't always what wins the job• the surprisingly simple advice Kevin got from a contractor who once employed 800 electricians — and why you definitely won't find it in an MBA textbookAlso…There's a $50K-ish estimating mistake that somehow turns into a lesson about trust.Kevin casually mentions estimating roughly $8 MILLION a month in commercial work.A five-fast-questions segment produces a service-panel answer nobody quite understands.The internet starts glitching right before things get weird.And a contractor with 40 years in the game reduces massive business growth to two very memorable words.If you're new here, binge the channel.If you own an electrical service business, steal the framework.If you want to scale to $1M+ with less chaos…Watch the Million Dollar Plan below.————————————And if you want to see our Million Dollar Plan — how we help Electric Service Business Owners build $1M+ companies without becoming a slave to the truck, the phone, or the chaos…Watch here:• https://youtu.be/T8wHmb56FwEPodcast Scholarship DrawTurn your support into real rewards.Subscribe, leave a review, or follow us. each action = 1 entry.Monthly: Open Circuit Lifetime Membership ($1,500 value)Twice per year: Service Loop Electrical Packages ($5,000 value)Submit your entry here!https://go.serviceloopelectrical.com/mde-draw

In the past, the relationship between electrical drawings and physical machines was largely left to the ability to visualize both. A motor might exist as a symbol on my electrical schematic, while its physical counterpart lived somewhere on a mechanical drawing. The two representations described different aspects of the same machine, but they were not necessarily connected. In this episode of Control Intelligence, written by contributing editor Joey Stubbs, editor in chief Mike Bacidore discusses computer-aided design software.

Germany has turned plug-in solar from a fringe idea into a mainstream energy product found in millions of homes. And the biggest lessons for the U.S. aren't really about solar panels.They're about making solar easier.In this Tactical Tuesday, CraftStrom Co-Founder and CEO Stephan Scherer shares what nearly a decade in the European plug-in solar market taught him about how a new energy category actually scales.Simplicity matters as much as technology. Germany had to simplify registration and remove requirements that made a supposedly plug-and-play product harder to adopt.Policy needs to separate different problems. Electrical safety inside the home and how much power a system exports to the grid aren't the same thing—and Stephan argues that conflating them could unnecessarily limit the U.S. market.And perhaps most importantly, the category scales when it becomes easy to buy and easy to understand. In Germany, plug-in solar eventually moved beyond specialist channels and onto mainstream retail shelves.This is a focused excerpt from my longer SunCast conversation with Stephan. If you want to understand who's actually buying plug-in solar in the U.S., why the ideal customer surprised even him, and whether solar could eventually become something we buy like an appliance, the full episode goes much deeper.Episode 952: Plug-In Solar Is About to Change Everything | Stephan SchererAre there other technologies you've scouted on the frontlines of the Clean Energy Revolution that you think we should be covering here on SunCast?Hit us up - team@suncast.me with your feedback & recommendations.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to their contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://suncast.media/episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.suncast.media/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 950 other founder stories and startup advice at www.suncast.media.We'd love if you'd leave us a 5 ⭐ rating & review and it's never been easier: https://www.ratethispodcast.com/suncastSubscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalus(00:00) The Scale of German Plug-In Solar(00:16) How Germany Scaled Balcony Solar(01:50) The Direct-to-Consumer Plug-In Model(02:15) Establishing European Plug-In Regulations(02:53) The Rapid Market Adoption Curve(04:22) Selling Solar in Everyday Supermarkets(04:48) Simplifying Utility Registration Processes(06:52) Eliminating Locking Plug Interconnection Barriers(08:22) Accelerating Adoption with Zero Sales Tax(09:11) Democratizing Solar Through Mainstream Retailers

Last year he sold and installed $1,011,000 in electrical — out of one van. Mike Howie is a service technician at Travis Electrical Service in Clarksville, Tennessee. He does the selling and splits the installs 50-50. He did $612,000 one year and $1,011,000 the next — two years into residential service, in a middle-America market. He had about ten years in electrical first: an industrial apprenticeship, then a service shop that, in his words, “threw you out in the wind.” A three-week job became seven unpaid weeks in Texas and Oregon. He nearly lost the house, his wife's car was impounded, and he lost his mom in the middle of it. He found Travis on Indeed, emailed the owner's wife from Oregon, and she kept telling him one thing: “Just get home.” Then six months of ride-alongs and CertainPath training before anyone handed him a van. What changed between $612,000 and $1,011,000 was operational as much as personal. Travis added installers halfway through the year, anything over $1,000 started handing off, and Mike got into more houses. The rest of this conversation with host Bob Houchin is his entire service call, line by line. In this conversation, you'll discover: • Why adding an install team took him from $612,000 to $1,011,000 • The six-month onboarding most owners skip — and what that patience actually bought • Why he never finishes the troubleshoot, and the one question he asks instead • The chain-link analogy that makes a backstabbed outlet obvious to a homeowner • How he positions financing before the sticker shock lands • “First person that talks loses” — and the fifteen minutes he sat in total silence Whether you run an electrical, HVAC, plumbing, or roofing company, Mike's process shows how one well-trained technician turns ordinary service calls into a million dollars a year. Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform.
