Name: Daniel Naughton Company: Commercial Air Solutions Occupation: Refrigeration technician What’s the best thing about working in HVAC&R? Figuring out why a system isn’t working and repairing it. How long have you worked in the industry? Almost 10 years. Favourite tool: My Wattmaster long-nose pliers. They are as big and sturdy as standard linesman pliers, have cable strippers built in, a nut wrench and crimpers on the handles. Best on-the-job advice you ever received: Don’t assume the tech before you did his job properly. If you didn’t work in the HVAC&R industry, what do you think you would be doing? Probably BMS controls or some form of electronics. Dream car: Not really into cars, more of a gamer, so … a PC running an RTX Titan and Valve Index Virtual Reality system.

What’s the happiest a client has been with your work? I’ve had a client send emails back to the office praising my work and then asking where I am if another technician is sent to site. Dream holiday: Japan. Favourite smoko snack: Dirty Bird (chicken treat). What did you listen to on the way to work today? A Dungeons and Dragons podcast ... I’m cool. Sporting hero: Never followed sports. When I’m not working I’m … Renovating my house or gaming.
