Driving the popular Mazda CX-5 SUV today, Mazda’s top seller, it’s been around along time in ten models, a mix of petrol and diesel and front or all-wheel drive. Nohybrid but I’m told its coming. I drove the second tier 2.5-litre six-speed automaticCX-5 Maxx Sport front wheel drive - $43,184 drive-away, which included optionalSoul Red Chrystal Metallic paint at $795. A colour that has in many ways becomea trademark of Mazda. The CX-5 a good looker, still our fourth best-sellingmedium SUV, behind Toyota’s RAV4 and getting some strong competition thesedays from Kia’s Sportage and Hyundai’s Tuscon. I did nearly 900km in urban andcountry driving and it really surprised - well sorted, extremely comfortable forfour adults – the Maxx Sport well specified apart from the lack of wireless phonecharging and a power rear door. But it has dual zone air-conditioning with rearoutlets, a welcome head up display, a rather small 8-inch display screen on thedash but just so safe to use with a rotary dialer to let you scroll through a menu –so much safer than many of the new Chinese SUV’s with their large touchscreensand no active buttons. Warranty 5-years/unlimited km.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan welcomes back Jim to discuss the groundbreaking SureSwitch contactor technology from Copeland. This isn't just another incremental improvement - it's a complete reimagining of how contactors should work in modern HVAC systems. Jim brings his expertise and even demonstrates the technology with a special cutaway camera setup, giving listeners and viewers an inside look at this innovative solution. The conversation begins with the evolution of contactors in the HVAC industry, explaining how manufacturers moved backward from heavy-duty two-pole contactors to lighter, more cost-effective one-and-a-half pole designs. While this cost reduction made sense for manufacturers, it often left technicians dealing with more frequent failures and replacements. The SureSwitch represents a leap forward, combining the reliability of traditional heavy-duty contactors with modern electronic intelligence and enhanced protection features. One of the most compelling aspects of the SureSwitch is its multi-voltage coil capability, supporting 24V, 110V, and 240V applications with a single unit. This flexibility dramatically reduces inventory requirements for contractors and service companies, allowing one contactor to handle residential HVAC, refrigeration cases, ice machines, and pool heaters. The universal application makes it particularly valuable for smaller businesses that need to stock fewer SKUs while maintaining the ability to handle diverse applications. The technical innovation behind the SureSwitch's longevity is fascinating. Using an optical sensor (described as a "little eye" in the sealed chamber), the contactor monitors for electrical arcing during contact opening and closing. The built-in microprocessor analyzes the 60Hz AC sine wave and times the contact operation to occur at the zero-crossing point, eliminating destructive arcing. This "no-arc zone" operation, combined with latching contacts that prevent chatter during brownout conditions, results in contacts that remain clean and functional even after a million cycles - five times longer than traditional contactors. Key Topics Covered ·        Contactor Evolution and Industry Innovation o   Historical perspective on contactor design changes from heavy-duty to cost-optimized o   Why the HVAC industry needed to innovate forward rather than continue cost-cutting ·        Multi-Voltage Flexibility o   Single contactor handles 24V, 110V, and 240V coil applications o   Reduces inventory requirements and simplifies contractor operations o   Applications include residential HVAC, refrigeration, ice machines, and pool heaters ·        Arc-Free Contact Technology o   Optical sensor monitoring system for detecting electrical arcing o   Microprocessor-controlled timing to operate at AC sine wave zero-crossing o   Five times longer contact life compared to traditional contactors ·        Chatter Elimination and Latching Mechanism o   Internal power supply eliminates dependency on weak control voltage o   Magnetic latching system prevents contact bouncing during brownout conditions o   Protection against undersized control wiring and long wire runs ·        Sealed Contact Chamber Design o   100% sealed contact chamber prevents insect and debris contamination o   Eliminates common failure modes from ants, earwigs, and lizards o   Reduces need for pest control interventions ·        Built-in Compressor Protection Features o   Brownout protection with automatic voltage monitoring (184V threshold) o   Random start delay (0-90 seconds) for multiple unit installations o   Short cycle timer protection working independently of thermostat timers ·        Installation and Compatibility Considerations o   Compatible mounting holes with standard contactors o   Proper crankcase heater wiring configurations o   Training considerations for technicians adapting to new terminal layout ·        Warranty and Business Applications o   10-year warranty vs. standard 1-year contactor warranties o   Good-better-best selling scenarios for contractor businesses o   Applications in high-end residential and commercial installations   Learn more at the SureSwitch at http://www.hvacrschool.com/SureSwitch.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Driving Kia’s electric mid-sized EV5 SUV – similar in size to Kia’s petrolSportage, although boxier and the first Kia to be made in China for this market.Three trim grades Air, Earth, and GT- Line – I’m driving the mid-grade EV5 Earthat $68,990 drive-away, a dual motor all-wheel drive with a long-range 88.1kWhbattery providing a quoted 500km range. Features include synthetic leather seats,dual 12.3-inch interior screens,19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a powertailgate, dual zone climate control and a five-inch climate control display whichfrustratingly is partly hidden by the rim of the steering wheel. The interior roomy,very accommodating in both seat rows with excellent cargo space butdisappointingly there’s no wireless phone charging or 360-degree camera. For afamily vehicle it also lacks a front console storage box but for rear passengersprovides a pull-out storage draw under. I must admit my first visual impression ofthe Kia EV5 was not great, but it grew on me in time as did the drive experiencewith four drive modes while the charging process on my 11kW home charger waseffortless and relatively fast. Warranty seven years/unlimited km with batterywarranty seven years/150,000km, less than some rivals. Drive details next.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today's Class The automotive parts industry faces a disproportionately high return rate compared to other sectors, driven by misdiagnoses, improper installations, and fraudulent returns. This creates a significant financial burden on manufacturers and the entire supply chain. In this podcast, the guests explore these challenges and emphasize the need for stronger collaboration and communication between manufacturers, distributors, and repair shops. They advocate for a “Check the Part” initiative, encouraging thorough quality checks, proper documentation, and accurate diagnosis to reduce return rates. By adopting these strategies and leveraging technology, the industry can improve profitability, reduce inefficiencies, and boost customer satisfaction.

Further on the Zeekr X SUV – a compact Chinese electric SUV released lastOctober and like many Chinese EVs already price reduced. Two models,the rear wheel drive now $56,900 and the AWD $64,900 which I’m drivingwith dual electric motors fed by a 66kWhour battery. The performanceexhilarating - 0 to 100km/hour in just 3.8 seconds – that performance isvery polished, and the Zeekr X feels premium in all it does – from myperspective a cut above most similar priced SUV’s that I’ve driven. Thestyling sharp, distinctive and different, a body with great interior room for acompact SUV. Fit and finishes are quality. Range 400kms which aroundtown I found accurate but on the open road the brisk performance eats upthe battery much quicker – I averaged 16kW/h/100km consumption aroundtown but on a hard throttle it rose to 20kWh/100km fairly quickly. Chargingon my 11kW AC wall charger took 5 ½ hours from 20 to 80 percent ofcharge. A supremely comfortable small SUV apart from some pitch on arough surface accentuated obviously by the additional battery weight butmore than acceptable. Active safety elements however too intrusiveparticularly the driver distraction alert. Warranty underdone too at 5 years/unlimited km.

At last, a French car this week – I was really looking forward to driving theRenault Megane E-Tech SUV. Visually, this electric Megane has a greatsilhouette more like a hatchback with large 20-inch alloys tucked right intothe corners, the styling impressive and giving it a more premium feelalthough the resultant high tail tends to limit rear visibility. With a 60kWhbattery pack feeding a single electric motor with 160kW and 320Nm oftorque driving through the front wheels it offers a driving range of 454Km.Step in and your immediately impressed with a quality and functionalinterior with great finishes. A wide 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster andinterconnected 9-inch multimedia touchscreen thankfully combine withswitchgear to make it all very user friendly, something the Chinesenewcomers could well learn from. There’s Android Auto and Apple CarPlay,dual zone climate control, wireless phone charging, heated front seats anda heated steering wheel. At $54,990 plus on-road costs the Megane E-Techis well priced, with combination cloth and leather seats that offer greatcomfort but lack power adjustment while the interior is a standout indesign.

Top-performing IT solution providers are experiencing record profitability, achieving over 19% adjusted profit margins for the fifth consecutive year, despite a slowdown in revenue growth. The latest report from Service Leadership indicates that while managed service providers (MSPs) saw revenue growth of only 7.1% in 2024, their adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) grew at a more robust rate of 13%. This trend highlights the importance of operational maturity and cost control as key drivers of profitability in the industry, suggesting that MSPs should focus on enhancing their operational processes rather than solely pursuing top-line growth.The podcast also discusses the rising use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools among office workers, with nearly half utilizing tools not provided by their employers. This covert usage raises concerns about data privacy and compliance with company policies. A report from Ivanti reveals that 42% of employees are using AI in their daily tasks, a significant increase from the previous year. The discussion emphasizes the need for organizations to prioritize data quality and governance, as the responsibility for data modeling shifts to operational layers where real-time decisions are made.Google is making significant changes to its search engine, introducing an AI Mode Search Engine tool that will provide AI-generated responses instead of traditional links. This shift could fundamentally alter how users access information, posing challenges for IT service providers and content creators who rely on traditional SEO strategies. The integration of AI into search engines raises questions about the future of content discovery and the potential erosion of Google's dominance as the default search engine, especially with Apple considering AI-driven search options for its Safari browser.Arctic Wolf has announced an increase in its security operations warranty to $3 million, the largest in the industry, aimed at enhancing customer trust and positioning its endpoint security solutions as enterprise-grade.

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan sits down with James and Jeff from Copeland to discuss the evolution and capabilities of Copeland's mobile applications, particularly focusing on the Copeland Mobile app and the new Scout feature. James, who has been with Copeland for 28 years, and Jeff, who works as a trainer, share their extensive knowledge about how these tools can benefit HVAC technicians in the field. The conversation begins with a historical perspective on Copeland's service bulletins, which have been a valuable resource for technicians since the 1980s. The guests explain how these bulletins have evolved from being difficult to access to becoming readily available through the Copeland Mobile app. They discuss how the app has become an essential tool for technicians, allowing them to access critical information about compressors, including operating envelopes, current draw specifications, and troubleshooting guides. The discussion then moves to the exciting new features in the Copeland Mobile app, including the integration of Fault Finder and the introduction of Scout, an AI-powered search tool that draws exclusively from Copeland's database. Scout not only provides answers to technical questions but also points users to relevant resources and documentation. The guests emphasize how these tools can help reduce unnecessary compressor replacements, noting that 30-40% of returned compressors have nothing wrong with them. Key Topics Covered: Evolution of Copeland service bulletins from paper to digital format Features of the Copeland Mobile app, including: Operating envelope visualization Current draw specifications Compressor cross-reference tools Warranty status checking Mechanical specifications and oil charge information Wiring diagrams and troubleshooting guides Introduction of Scout AI-powered search feature Integration of Fault Finder into the main app Using the app for training technicians Importance of proper compressor diagnostics Accessing technical documentation and AE (Application Engineering) bulletins New camera feature for scanning compressor data tags Desktop version functionality for service managers White Rogers mobile applications Warranty tracking and parts availability features   Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?
