Eagle Pipe Heating & Air Owner Highlights AI Tools and Trade Careers While Expanding Youth Donations
Poulsbo, United States – June 18, 2026 / Eagle Pipe Heating & Air /
POULSBO, WA – Eagle Pipe Heating & Air, a locally owned HVAC and plumbing contractor serving the greater Kitsap and Jefferson County areas, has donated and installed a complete HVAC system at Community Works, a hands-on trades training program for teens and young adults based at Short’s Family Farm in Chimacum, Washington. The project was completed in partnership with ServiceTitan’s Power the Nation initiative on April 21.
Community Works offers civic engagement and technical training for students from area schools, with programs centered on boat making, tiny house construction, and other skilled trades disciplines. The program operates out of a converted barn – a concrete structure that had previously become unusable during colder months. The HVAC system installed by Eagle Pipe Heating & Air, which includes an energy-efficient thermostat operable by program staff, enables students to train throughout the year in a comfortable and safe environment.
“This is where we could really make a difference – not only financially, but by spending time with this organization and with their folks,” said Lori Tschohl, owner of Eagle Pipe Heating & Air.
The donation was made possible in part through support from Thermal Supply and Daikin, whose contributions helped offset equipment costs. The project reflects Eagle Pipe’s long-standing commitment to workforce development. Tschohl, who also serves as president of the Jefferson County Builders Association, has spoken at trade schools and vocational programs across the region to introduce young people – particularly 16- and 17-year-olds – to the career opportunities available in HVAC and plumbing.
“We take technicians with us and say, ‘These are gauges. These are our tools. This is what we do,’ hoping to generate interest so that by the time they leave, they don’t have to think, ‘Am I going to college? What am I going to do?’” Tschohl said.
The Community Works project also connects to a broader network of community involvement. Students in the program have previously built pantries and other items donated to Dove House, a local women’s shelter – an organization where Eagle Pipe Heating & Air had also previously installed an HVAC system.
Through the Power the Nation initiative, Eagle Pipe was able to expand the scope of its charitable giving, with check presentations to partner organizations expected to significantly exceed prior donation amounts.
Beyond promoting trades careers, Tschohl has made a point of highlighting the role technology plays in modern HVAC operations – including AI-powered tools available through ServiceTitan’s platform – to further illustrate the industry’s relevance and career potential to younger audiences.
“It’s not just turning a wrench or learning about refrigerants. It’s about what’s up and coming,” Tschohl said. “This industry right now is in the absolute best position to not only utilize AI, but explore the future.”
