We regret to inform you all, but the creator/moderator of this site, Mike Bishop, recently passed away. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer two years ago, and after a long but optimistic fight, he succumbed to complications last week.

About yorkcentraltechtalk
I have been in the HVAC industry most of my life. I worked 25 years for contractors on anything from residential to large commercial boilers and power burners. For the past 23+ years I had been employed by York International UPG Division ( a division of Johnson Controls) as a Technical support/Service Manager but I am now retired.
One of my goals has always been to "educate" dealers and contractors. The reason for starting this blog was to share some knowledge, thoughts, ideas, etc with anyone who takes the time to read it.
The contents of this blog are my own opinions, thoughts, experiences and should not be construed as those of Johnson Controls York UPG in any way.
I hope you find this a help. I always welcome comments and suggestions for postings and will do my best to address any thoughts, questions, or topics you may want to hear about.
Thanks for taking the time to read my postings!

Sorry to hear that I have known Mike for over 25 years and would call him about problems I had on other units besides York. He would always take his time to try and help me even though he didn”t have to.
So sorry to hear this. Mike taught us so much while sharing his knowledge.
I worked with Mike for many years so I canât tell you how devastating it was to get this news. My heart and prayers go out to you. He was a good man, an excellent teacher and a credit to the industry he worked in for so many years. RIP my friend.

My heart is saddened in learning of the passing of Mike. I work as a Tech Support field adviser for a distributor of York brand equipment. The wealth of knowledge he has given on this blog has been awesome and you could tell he loved to pass this on to others to help them become better Technicians. I am happy that you are leaving the blog available as I reference this blog in my training classes and encourage others to visit and learn. Thank you Mike for your help and support, you will be missed.
