In this episode of HVAC Chats, Contracting Business Editor-in-Chief Nicole Krawcke speaks with Josh Koplin, co-founder of EDEN and a guest contributor to Contracting Business magazine. Koplin discusses how evolving consumer behavior—driven by what he calls the “Amazon effect” — is reshaping how HVAC contractors must market, sell, and deliver services. The conversation explores how contractors can leverage technology, digital visibility, and AI tools to meet changing customer expectations, enhance efficiency, and position their businesses for long-term growth in a rapidly shifting market.
