Smart Homes, Safer Communities: Christopher Mickey's Call for Action on HVAC Reform
From Hurricane Relief to Everyday Energy Bills, One Entrepreneur Pushes for Smarter, More Reliable Home Systems
In a new exclusive interview, Florida-based entrepreneur Christopher Mickey shares a message that reaches far beyond his own business: America needs to take HVAC systems—and the people they serve—more seriously.
'Bad HVAC isn't just uncomfortable. It's expensive, inefficient, and, in some cases, dangerous,' says Mickey, founder of Airheads HVAC. 'Every home we flip, we see the same problems: outdated systems, poor installations, and zero energy strategy.'
Having personally flipped more than 545 homes with his wife, Mickey's journey from the restaurant industry to real estate and HVAC has given him a front-row seat to the systemic problems facing homeowners. 'You'd be shocked at how often families are stuck with high energy bills and unreliable systems,' he notes. 'These aren't luxuries—they're essentials.'
The timing of Mickey's message is urgent. HVAC systems account for nearly 50% of the average U.S. household's energy usage, and with energy prices continuing to climb, inefficient setups are costing families thousands. Yet too few know how to spot or solve the problem.
'There are smart solutions out there—things like high-efficiency systems and smart thermostats—but people need to be educated and empowered,' he says. Mickey believes the answer lies not just in better technology, but in accountability. 'We treat every job like it's our own home. That's missing in this industry.'
In the interview, Mickey also speaks about his team's response to Hurricane Helene, when they provided free and discounted HVAC services to families left without cooling. 'If you've got the tools to help, use them,' he says. 'It's that simple.'
Mickey's message is clear: home systems should work for the people living in them—not against them. He urges communities to take action:
Get your systems checked regularly.
Invest in smart, energy-efficient solutions.
Hold service providers to a higher standard.
Speak up when service fails.
'This isn't just about saving money—it's about safety, sustainability, and respect for people's homes,' says Mickey. 'You don't need to be in HVAC to help fix this. You just need to care.'
