Mike Hammond – Creative Energy
Mike Hammond started in the HVAC early in life at 16 years old. He started working for a company in their sheet metal shop and delivering materials to jobsites and slowly became more involved in installation and service. Later, Mike went on to own his own business for years – installing equipment and started to specialize in geothermal installations and service in the early 1990’s. Then in 2009 he made a decision to join ClimateMaster to be a trainer, traveling the country to train distributors and dealers on service and installation of geothermal equipment. In 2022 I left ClimateMaster and joined Creative Energy.
Fred Umble – Creative Energy
Fred Umble has supported the geothermal industry while working in the marketing department at PPL from 1991 until 1995, when he started Creative Energy Distributors. Creative Energy started out as a Command-Aire distributor. Climatemaster was added as a second line in 2002, and Hydron Module was added to their line in 2010. Fred has supported his dealers with design, tech support and training for the past 27 years. His system designs have ranged in size from small residential up to 170 tons.
