When a Ukrainian engineer, Kostiantyn Mudryk, arrived in Bothell, Washington, he couldn’t have imagined that within just a few years he would lead one of the region’s fastest-growing HVAC companies. Driven by the dream of creating something enduring after years of uncertainty, he transformed technical skill into visionary leadership, merging hands-on expertise with data-driven innovation.
From Seafood Factories to Smart Systems
Before founding HotWire Pro Services LLC, Mudryk spent years working in seafood factories across Alaska. The work was demanding and repetitive, yet it required unwavering precision; every broken seal or failing motor could shut down an entire production line. Those experiences taught him that true craftsmanship is born from consistency and accountability.
That discipline became the backbone of his approach to HVAC. When he relocated to Washington, he saw an industry ripe for modernization.
Starting with a small team and a single truck, Hotwire quickly built a reputation for technical excellence and transparent service. By 2021, the company had expanded into multi-site operations, serving residential, commercial, and government clients.
Innovation and Automation: Turning Data into Decisions

The company’s rapid growth came from a deliberate choice to invest early in automation and artificial intelligence. Today, Hotwire is developing an AI-powered automation and modeling platform designed to revolutionize the planning, visualization, and execution of HVAC and energy projects.
Using the system, customers and facility managers can input data about their buildings, systems, and energy needs. Within minutes, the AI generates detailed project estimates, interactive 3D visual models, and real-time analyses of energy efficiency and cost savings.
The impact has been immediate. These tools have reduced project planning time by over 30% and have significantly increased proposal accuracy. Beyond operational efficiency, the technology enhances trust, allowing clients to see exactly how design decisions affect both cost and environmental performance.
Interactive dashboards track energy savings, carbon reduction, and long-term maintenance outcomes. This transparency helps businesses make smarter, greener choices, proving that sustainability and profitability are no longer at odds.
Empowering Customers Through Visualization
At the heart of this innovation is Hotwire’s 3D modeling system, which enables customers to visualize multiple HVAC solutions side-by-side.
Behind the interface, the AI engine recommends configurations that maximize efficiency and minimize emissions. By presenting options visually, the system empowers clients to participate meaningfully in technical decisions.
Leadership and Culture: Built on Values

The company’s founder insists that technology is only half the equation. The other half is people. Hotwire’s success has been driven by a culture of mentorship and respect: where every technician is treated as a future leader.
The company invests heavily in technician training and continuous learning programs, encouraging employees to develop both technical and soft skills.
Vision Ahead: Innovation with Integrity
Hotwire plans to expand through a scalable franchise model, extending its reach across the United States. The goal is not only to grow the business but to amplify its environmental impact by standardizing sustainable practices nationwide.
The company’s initiatives directly support U.S. environmental and clean-energy efforts, promoting smarter energy use, reducing waste, and aligning with government and private-sector sustainability targets.
HotWire Pro Services LLC aims to integrate its platform with smart home and smart building systems, offering real-time energy monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities.
Closing Reflection
By blending advanced technology with human values, Hotwire’s founder has turned a trade into a movement; one that champions sustainability, empowers customers, and sets a new benchmark for modern HVAC service.
In an industry often measured by short-term results, Hotwire stands out for its long-term vision: using innovation not just to power buildings, but to power change.
