An Eggcellent Conversation with Geothermal Expert Jay Egg
The boys heat up the podcast and scramble to the mic to enjoy a main course with Jay Egg. We even include a side serving of humor. Jay is a longtime friend to the Hub, where you can find many of his articles on our websites. Jay is also a consultant and designer of geothermal HVAC systems, author of two books and, as mentioned earlier, the founder of Egg Geo, which focuses on geothermal consulting, engineering, and contracting technologies. But as you will find out, he's a family man with a dozen eggs.
