About Short-Cycled

What We Do

We monitor the HVAC industry—from product launches and technical innovations to mergers, acquisitions, and regulatory shifts. Our coverage spans air handling, chillers, heat pumps, VRF systems, controls, and the broader building services sector.

Our editorial approach is straightforward: we report the news, analyse the implications, and provide context for industry professionals who need to stay informed. We focus on what matters to mechanical engineers, contractors, facility managers, specifiers, and building services consultants.

Our Perspective

We write from the perspective of experienced industry professionals who've seen decades of claims, innovations, and marketing messages. We're knowledgeable about the technology, practical about its applications, and appropriately sceptical of unsubstantiated claims—but we're fair, measured, and professional.

We believe in questioning marketing fluff, but we do so by examining evidence and claims, not by attacking companies or individuals. Our tone is authoritative and informative, like TechCrunch, not irreverent or snarky. We're here to inform, not to entertain at the expense of accuracy.

Our Standards

For Industry Professionals

If you're a mechanical engineer specifying systems, a contractor installing them, a facility manager maintaining them, or a consultant designing them, Short-Cycled is written for you. We assume you know the difference between a VRF system and a split unit, and we provide the context and analysis you need to make informed decisions.

We focus on the "so what?"—not just what happened, but why it matters to your work, your projects, and your business.
