Summer is coming—and with it, the heat, the pressure, and the rush for working A/C units. But before the temperatures rise, are you and your team truly prepared for the responsibilities that come with managing refrigerants?
In this episode, Paul Rhodes dives into the often-overlooked essentials of refrigerant handling: recovery, recycling, and reclamation. These "3 R’s" aren’t just industry jargon—they’re the foundation of legal, efficient, and environmentally responsible air conditioning maintenance. From busting common myths to sharing best practices, Paul urges certified techs to see refrigerants not as burdens, but as assets that can be managed for long-term sustainability and even revenue.
In this episode, we cover:
-Why should HVAC techs treat refrigerants as valuable assets rather than disposable materials?
-What are the 3 R’s of refrigerant management and how do they differ?
-The EPA requires certified technicians to handle and manage refrigerants responsibly.
-How can proper planning before summer boost both compliance and cost-efficiency?
🔥 Don’t wait until the heat wave hits—equip yourself and your team with the knowledge to stay cool, stay legal, and stay efficient.
