Heating and cooling a home is harder than it looks, but some people make it seem easy. Ross Trethewey is one of those people. You may know him from his appearances on This Old House. We know him because he’s a member of our Board of Advisors.
We met Ross through techstars. He’s grown up in family of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) pros. His father is Richard Trethewey, who has been This Old House‘s resident HVAC and plumbing expert since the show’s debut in 1979. The family’s plumbing and heating business, Trethewey Bros. Inc. has served the Boston community since 1902, so it’s clear that the Tretheweys know home heating and cooling better than almost anyone.
Ross is continuing the family tradition with TE2 Engineering, a full service engineering design and consultation firm. Their projects are some of the most innovative and elegant you’ll find. Just check out this house in Chillmark or Ross’s Twitter feed if you want to be jealous of the amazing work he gets to do each day, making homes more comfortable.
When we met Ross, he immediately saw the value of ecovent, and he’s been advising us ever since. His customers are increasingly interested in adding sensors and wireless technology to their homes. That’s our passion and our mission. Ross is helping us achieve it, and we’re glad to have him on our board.
