Wisconsin's heating and cooling dispatch platform

Zwivio

Zwivio is a Wisconsin heating and cooling dispatch platform designed to coordinate how homeowners connect with local contractors — and how contractors receive job opportunities. Instead of broadly distributing a homeowner's contact details as a lead, Zwivio coordinates requests through a governed dispatch process. Homeowner contact information is not released until a contractor is confirmed for the job. No callback flood. No competing callbacks. Zwivio is currently onboarding heating and cooling contractors across Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Walworth, Washington, and Waukesha counties ahead of opening homeowner intake. For contractors: job opportunities arrive by text. No app required. No commission fees. Structured opportunities based on service area, readiness, and availability. For homeowners: when intake opens, contact details stay private until a contractor is confirmed for the job. One coordinated request process instead of managing multiple callbacks. Need someone next Wednesday between noon and 4? Submit once — Zwivio finds who's available for that window. Learn more at https://zwivio.com?utm_source=patch

Milwaukee, WI — Gift of Wings is thrilled to announce that the IKEA Family Kite Festival is returning to Milwaukee’s lakefront for the 39th consecutive year. Spring is finally here — it’s time to GO FLY A KITE!
On Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, 2026, join us at beautiful Veterans Park (1010 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive) for two days of spectacular kite flying, family fun, and breathtaking aerial displays. The festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturday and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday.
