Having Eddie, a life-long HVAC industry game changer, on our team reinforces our commitment to putting the success of our people first. Eddie's distinctive experience, including building his own career from a green service tech to becoming a company President, will take Sila University, encompassing all our training, professional development, and engagement programs, to an all-new level of excellence."

In joining Sila Services, McFarlane remarked, "What attracted me to Sila Services was the values-based DNA of the organization where the success and development of our people always come first.  While many companies talk about talent, Sila Services has a proven track record of creating career paths and unlocking the potential of every team member. I am delighted to join a winning team that has demonstrated true passion for elevating and empowering people, providing exceptional training, and growing technical careers in essential trade industries."

When not leading HVAC businesses McFarlane enjoys spending time with his wife, two adult children, and his little old rescue Dachshund, Sophie. McFarlane will be based in the Sila Services company headquarters in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
