Gerry Wagner Launches Independent HVAC Training and Services Venture

Gerry Wagner, a long-time HVAC industry professional, has left his previous employer to start his own company, Education Services and Product Company (ESPCO). The new venture will provide training, product design, and other services to manufacturers, distributors, and independent installers, untying him from a single brand.

“The formal name is Education Services and Product Company, or ESPCO is the acronym, ESP Company. And boy, that's a big name, right? And it's kind of all encompassing. And I, I did that on purpose because training is what most people identify me as. And, and, and I'm proud of that. It is my passion to say the least, and I want to continue to do that, but I also want to offer other services and potential products along with that. So again, that's where the name kind of derived from, but what this allows me to do Gary is instead of being employed by a single employer and being tied to a single brand. Now I have the opportunity to work with many different brands, many different companies, whether they be manufacturers, distributors, independent manufacturers, reps, and even independent installers who want to have me come to their facility to do training specific to their product, specific to their audience, and specific to their needs.”
