Host Leesa Boone welcomes a new co-host, Jeremiah Marsh of Fulcrum Heating & Cooling, on the Shop Local Show streaming live on 1040.9 WWKY’s Facebook page. They highlight national calendar items (Corn Chip Day, Carnation Day, Puzzle Day) before focusing on Jeremiah’s origin story: growing up in Sebree, working farm jobs as a teen, his first retail job at Radio Shack, earning a nursing degree and working as a nurse before realizing it wasn’t his calling, and then entering HVAC through family connections in Evansville. Jeremiah explains why the trade is highly skilled, why trades are essential as many workers retire, and shares that Fulcrum launched April 13, 2023, supported by business partner Josh Mitchell and his wife Brittany. He describes the company name “Fulcrum,” its earlier branding as Fulcrum Mechanical (changed after customers confused it with auto work), and Fulcrum’s emphasis on professionalism, clean vehicles, non-smoking policy, and treating every home with respect. Jeremiah outlines their apprenticeship approach, Kentucky licensing path (two years under a master license before testing for journeyman), and current staffing of 13 plus himself. They discuss handling winter emergencies, using layers for cold-weather work, keeping space heaters available for customers while waiting on parts, and stress preventive maintenance—especially regular air filter changes and seasonal service checks. Jeremiah notes ductwork’s importance for airflow and recommends duct cleaning about every 7–10 years, mentioning duct cleaner Adam Evans of DUCTS Unlimited in Calhoun. Contact details shared: fulcrummechanical.net, 270-282-0323, and their Facebook page (listed as Fulcrum Mechanical). Leesa closes with station follow prompts (1040.9 WWKY, 103.5 The Light, 106.9 WTTL), where show audio is archived (WTTLradio.com), promotes MagCon on March 21 at Parkway Plaza Mall, and thanks weekly sponsors including Lag Gates Furniture, Pioneer Family Medicine, Marsh Automotive Outfitters, Fulcrum Heating & Cooling, and upcoming guest The Weeping Willow, encouraging viewers to shop, eat, and experience local.
