Phc News is proud to announce the addition of new hydronics columnist Dan Foley to its already strong stable of contributing writers. In an effort to increase and enhance its hydronics presence, Phc News considers Dan a strong addition to the team.

Owner of Foley Mechanical, which
services the Washington, D.C. metro area, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge — nearly 25 years of experience — to the hydronics industry. Foley’s primary focus is radiant and hydronics, with large custom homes a specialty. Dan also does service, replacement, HVAC, sheet metal, controls, piping, renewables (geo and solar thermal) and is not afraid to work new technologies into the mix. “I will share examples of jobs that worked out well and some that

also will share with you my 10 years of experience running my own company. Most of my day-to-day challenges are not of a technical nature but are business related,” said Foley. Be sure to check out his first column on page 24.
