Craftsmanship Award Recipient,
Dan Holohan, International Authority, Steam Heating and Hydronics
and Founder, Heatinghelp.com
Dan Holohan began his love affair with heating systems in 1970 by going to work for a New York-based manufacturer’s representative that was deeply involved in the steam-and hot-water heating business. He studied hard, prowled many basements and attics with seasoned old-timers, and paid close attention to what they had to say. In 1989, he left that company to become a writer.
Since then he has written hundreds of columns for many trade magazines, as well as 22 books on subjects ranging from steam- and hot-water heating, to teaching technicians. His degree is in Sociology, which Dan believes is the perfect preparation for a career in the heating industry.
He lectured widely and started the popular HeatingHelp.com site in 1997. In 2016, Mr. Holohan’s daughter, Erin Holohan Haskell, took over the family business. Dan continues to write columns for the heating industry and he is now working on his third novel.
From Paris to Hawaii, and from the Caribbean to Alaska, Dan has taught more than 200,000 people at his seminars. He is well known throughout the heating industry for his entertaining, anecdotal style of speaking.
Mr. Holohan has been responsible for helping many people solve tough heating problems in 19th Century buildings, such as The Dakota on W. 72nd St, and our own GSMT building on West 44th Street.
Dan lives on Long Island with his wife, the lovely Marianne. They have four incredible daughters, all out in the world and making a difference.
