Lorton, VA - Dan Foley, founder and president of Foley Mechanical Inc, has been honored with the Dan Holohan Lifetime Contribution to Comfort Award at the 2019 AHR Expo. The award, presented by Taco Comfort Solutions, recognizes industry professionals who have made significant contributions to hydronics, demonstrating excellence in education, innovation, and quality workmanship.
Named after renowned hydronics expert Dan Holohan, this prestigious award celebrates individuals dedicated to advancing the field of heating and cooling. Foley was chosen for his 30+ years of leadership in the HVAC industry, his commitment to mentoring and educating fellow professionals, and his expertise in designing high-performance mechanical systems for residential and commercial properties.
Reflecting on the award, Foley stated:
“It's quite an honor to win an award named after my mentor, Dan Holohan. When I started putting heating systems in, I didn’t even know what a boiler or circulator pump was. Dan took me under his wing 30 years ago and helped me along the way. It’s just a thrill and honor to win and accept this award on behalf of my talented and skilled craftsmen.”
