From $750K Projects to Disneyland: Getting to Know Damon

We sat down with Damon to learn more about his career, his role at Option One, and what makes him tick. Here’s what he shared:

Q: What’s the most challenging HVAC project you’ve ever tackled?
A: I once bid and won a $750,000 commercial project—and managed it from start to finish. It was a huge undertaking, but seeing it through successfully was incredibly rewarding.

Q: What’s your favorite type of HVAC work?
A: Installations. There’s something satisfying about building a system from the ground up and knowing it’ll serve a customer for years to come.

Q: What’s one common HVAC mistake you see customers make?
A: Hiring unlicensed contractors. It might save money upfront, but it often leads to bigger (and costlier) problems down the road.

Q: If you could invent an HVAC tool, what would it do?
A: A heavy equipment lifting assistant—because after decades in the field, I know how tough those big units can be to move!

Why Option One?

Damon joined our team to be part of something new and exciting—Option One’s startup HVAC division. Here’s why he loves it here:

Q: What do you enjoy most about working at Option One?
A: The startup energy. We’re building something great, and I get to help shape it.

Q: How does Option One stand out from competitors?
A: We’re small enough to care but big enough to deliver. Customers get personalized service with the backing of a reliable company.

Q: What’s your favorite memory so far at Option One?
A: The way everyone welcomed me when I joined. It felt like family from day one.

Q: How do you ensure customers have a great experience?
A: I don’t consider a job done until the customer is 100% satisfied. Quality work and honesty go a long way.

Q: What should customers know about the Option One team?
A: We’ll go above and beyond to make sure they’re happy—and get real value for their investment.
