Intelligent Valve Retrofit Kit

The Emerson White-Rodgers Intelligent Valve Retrofit Kit (50I56D-905) is designed for ICP and Lennox single-stage PSC furnaces that have the 1st-generation (tan cover) SmartValve. It’s a cost-competitive, comprehensive solution to upgrade SmartValve systems to a reliable standard IP gas valve and 120V HSI.

The complete kit includes a new gas valve, control board, combination ignitor, and flame sensor, meaning you only have to carry one of these kits on your truck instead of several different parts. It also comes with a 5-year warranty.

NOTE: This product is not designed for the 2nd-generation SmartValve (gray cover), as it has additional safety circuits connected to the SmartValve.

HVAC School – For Techs, By Techs

Real training for HVAC ( Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) Technicians. Including recorded tech training, interviews, diagnostics and general conversations about the trade.

In this unique episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan interviews Donovan Ryckis, CEO of Ethos Benefits, diving deep into the complex world of healthcare financing and employee benefits. Ryckis shares his journey from financial advising to becoming a healthcare benefits consultant, driven by a mission to expose and transform the inherently problematic healthcare system.

The conversation reveals the stark inefficiencies in traditional healthcare models, where insurance companies and healthcare providers often prioritize profit over patient care. Ryckis explains how most employers have been led to believe they cannot control healthcare costs, accepting annual increases as inevitable. By applying a fiduciary approach—similar to financial advising—Ethos Benefits helps companies like Kalos dramatically reduce healthcare expenses while maintaining or improving employee care.

A key highlight of the discussion is the innovative strategies Ethos implements, such as negotiating directly with healthcare providers, exposing pharmacy benefit manager markup, and implementing direct primary care. These approaches not only reduce costs but also provide employees with better, more personalized healthcare experiences. The podcast demonstrates that by taking a transparent, data-driven approach, companies can create win-win healthcare solutions that benefit both the organization and its employees.

Healthcare financing vs. traditional insurance models
