HYDRONIC RADIANT COOLING & HEATING
WARM CORP WEST TEAM
Warm Corp West is an ESOP, comprised of individual employee-owners.
We are passionate about our technology,
provide proprietary, highly engineered systems,
and are obsessed with the finest and most responsive service anywhere.
Michael Luttrell,
CEO & Founder
Michael’s passion lies in adventure and exploration, mostly in activities like whitewater kayaking and canoeing, mountaineering, caving, diving, and skiing. Fascinated with foreign cultures and ancient civilizations, he has visited 65 countries and the ruins from Skara Brae to Angkor Wat to the Masai Mara.
Ra Energy, founded in 1977 as an alternative energy company, was based on Michael’s 20 years of experience in aerospace R&D and nuclear technologies. With his signature spirit for adventure and exploration, Michael has grown that alternative energy startup into Warm Corp West, a leading design-engineering company in hydronic radiant technology.
