Halco Home Solutions has spent more than four decades proving that a locally owned business can deliver large-scale impact in the building performance industry. Founded in 1984, Halco now serves 23 counties across Upstate New York and has grown from a small start-up into a trusted leader in whole-home solutions.

This half-day workshop offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Halco has refined the art of whole-home retrofits while sustaining growth for 41 years. Participants will explore Halco’s integrated service model, which connects HVAC, plumbing, electrical, insulation, renewables, and indoor air quality to deliver comfortable, efficient, and healthy homes, often achieving zero-energy performance. By tying these services together, Halco improves customer outcomes while maintaining long-term business sustainability.

The session will also highlight the systems that support this success, including Halco’s pay-for-performance structure and detailed job-costing models that drive profitability, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Finally, we’ll discuss workforce development, including Halco’s four state-approved apprenticeship programs in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and energy efficiency, creating skilled career pathways while supporting the future of the building performance industry.

Attendees will leave with practical strategies to help their organizations grow while delivering healthier, more efficient homes.
