When was the original HeatingHelp.com started?

Tim McElwain

I have been hanging around here for quite a while jut not sure when I first got involved. I know it was after I met Dan in New Hampshire. We were both presenters at a training seminar.

It was around in the 1990s..............

It was 1997. Here’s a walk down memory lane: https://heatinghelp.com/blog/a-timeline-of-heatinghelp-com/ Thanks for being part of it all!

Thanks to all! When we started, Amazon had 250 employees and sold only books. I asked our web guy at the time to link to them. He told me they would never make it because people looking for books would never go to a URL with a name like that.

When I first started coming here, this place got me in SOOO much trouble at work!! People kept telling me "you cant learn off the internet" Hands on and listen to the old guys... well I'd go to work and say I learned it this way or the guys on Heatinghelp said "do this"... amazing fireworks!! LOL Now I'm the old guy and I tell everyone I can. go here and listen/learn!!

I remember one long list of threads. Just The Wall.

1997 I was working for Honeywell back then and had just started going on the road with my Gas Appliance Service Training and Consulting company. I left the gas company in 1994 and worked for Honeywell 1994 until 1999. In 1999 I opened my training center in Warren RI. So if memory serves me I joined HH around 1998. I think that was right before I actually met Dan face to face in New Hampshire. It has been quite a journey.

I want to say thank you to the Holohan family for allowing me to be here for so long. You have been a great help to my business along the way.

And thanks to you, Tim!
