Owner of a smaller shop here. We have time to talk details, I promise. The numbers are different because smaller shops tend to be more honest with customers about options and do not force technicians to sell new systems and unnecessary add ons in order to make a decent wage. The bigger HVAC businesses don't even train real technicians anymore. They train salespeople and installers. Thats the reason they are big. They sell, sell, and sell! Smaller businesses tend to go the extra mile and provide better customer service even though they may not have the best advertising campaigns or flashiest trucks. You're just a number to the bigger guys, which seems to go for any sort of business in these times. Every big company I can think of regardless of what type only concern is their bottom line.

Thank you, Joe

Happy Recycle your mercury Thermostat Day! We don't have one though

its all about money .. nothing more nothing less just a bunch of bull to fuck over the poor folks as always

So what happens if I have refrigerant migration into the oil. Is that oil gonna go boom boom when it's heated to brazing temp?

Turn the music down so I can hear you

Website does not list heat pumps or installers.

I doubt this is all about environmental , about the money! Did they don't like standardization because it doesn't make big money in their pockets.

Why was this refrigerant even made if there are so many risks and changes?

Do you need a fire watch while you are working.

Gee, I thought Phoenix would appear somewhere in the ranking. According to ChatGPT: "In 2023, Phoenix, Arizona, recorded approximately 5,894 cooling degree days (CDD), while Houston, Texas, had around 3,554 cooling degree days."

Great foundational info. Very helpful. Thank you!

You don't buy the P51-870 TITAN, it has a lot of variation both statically and in the field, to which I leave a video. The video is mine and the manifold I bought 1 year ago, disappointing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2SzfXqwp9Cshs0

EPA is overdoing it, their self righteous in their over righteous overzealous, dogmatic, and full of you know what

Bs video

It's another excuse to jack up the price for Freon and keep a fairly able diy person from recharging their AC unit !!!!¡!

Thank you for the update beloved lady anchor 🙂‍↕️

Wait till the EPA finds out R454b contains PFAS

The standard window not saddle unit what about stone houses with 12 inch thick walls

They mideia make window pump to take place of window unit

Which refrigerant does it use R454B?

We have already adapted by taking your ‘sticker shock’ and ramming it up your collective rears. We live in a dry heat… this past weeks heat wave was brutal (115 degrees) for our AC sucking neighbors that average 1200 kWh a month keeping their homes habitable. We don’t use AC though and a whole house fan blows out warm air and drafts cool morning air into our home. Our hottest indoor day was 85 average. We use ceiling fans and acclimated ourselves to energy financial freedom while living in a single family home neighborhood. And we didn’t buy into the solar scam either.

Go ahead and keep raising prices... The people (victims) you call your customers will adapt - in ways you probably won't like, auto industry anyone? 🤔🤣

Dam, shame 75 years, but still can't make a good tool.

Any contractor that is concerned that people may repair instead of replace needs to take a step back and reassess their lives. We're in the service industry not the plug and run salesmen. People like that give us a bad name. - C20 CA contractor

Now everyone can burn a bunch of fuel driving over to the next state to pick up their R-134.

What a bunch of crap from the industry, we already swapped out refrigerant to save the planet now you're telling us we need to swap out again. Why don't we just go back to R-12 and quit ripping the consumer off. The planet will be fine, with all the natural disasters who do you think is really in charge?

What a business, get the government to force new type of refrigerant on the population every few years and make Billions.This is simply legal robbery.

Why would you play music over someone talking about important safety information?

Im watching your webinar on a2l now. You guys are getting rich on a bunch of contradiction lies. First of all i call BS on the mildly flammability . Its either flammable or non flammable period. Second of all its not the same as the 2010 change to R410a .. because the industry wasnt robbed by an overpriced replacement refrigerant. Also whos gonna pay for all these special tools?? I work for a not for profit college. There certainly not gonna pay. Always the little guy who gets screwed.

People I know have been calling freon. Puran, or vice versa for years. How is this even newsworthy? Isnt it just a patent moniker?

If you stay one thing about fake climate change I’m going to shut you off! Anyone with a brain can see climate change is fake otherwise our politicians would be living on Martha’s Vineyard! Pay attention to what the politicians do not what they say!

NO GEN Z 😱 Just joking , kind of 🤔 80,000 to 100,000 short entering the field . More like 200,000 even being confidently skilled from trades school out of middle school through junior high experience lacking . Since the majority starting 40+ years ago, have slowly eliminated trade schools out of the curriculum . Those who graduate are not even skilled to be qualified as candidates to hire into the trades in the first place . Especially California one of the worst school systems in the nation. And probably the number one worst at starting children off in sixth grade introduction into the trades of woodshop auto shop ,Electronics lab , metal shop. It’s not the fault of the children graduating from high schools were completely technically incompetent . It was the generation of politicians, especially here in California, who all approved the bill to defund the public school system from having trades related education removed from the curriculum .

Daiken had first 3 guys on here who basic said nothing but that it is announced. lol so, stop being in love with your voices and say what is happening. that's all.

Congress needs to outlaw any flammable refrigerants

Large selection of ugly wall units

Ridiculous. They want to ban and replace HFCs such as R134A with butane which is highly explosive. HFCs replaced ozone depleting CFCs 40 years ago, and do not harm the Ozone Layer, but wackos found out it's a greenhouse gas, so it may do some harm if your fridge leaks. Boo-hoo. Such leaks are negligible. The whole climate change hysteria.

take my wallet

Anything the republicans want to do is not beneficial to humans. HVAC dolts like to recover refrigerant, that's fine! Frying the filter that protects the surface of Earth from being fried so that even microbial life is cooked will mean that nothing can grow. Of course teaching that to the anti-science right leaning politicians and their god-worshipping supporters is an impossibility "cuz da gawd gunna save us!"

Great event; Deion Sanders was genuinely inspiring.

The music needs to go.

York/Jci builds the best chillers in the world. I have almost 40 years in. I worked for Trane, Carrier, mcquay. York chillers are in a class of there own

Not gonna lie, the temperature clamps storing on the back of the manifold kinda ruins it for me. I'm looking to replace my two sets of Foeldpiece SM480Vs, mainly because I don't feel like I can trust them, but I do like the way the clamps store when not being used. 🤷‍♂️ At least they're out of the way.

I'm excited about slim R32 ceiling casettes, but as of Feb 2024 I can't find any videos about it.

Thanks for the many years of incredible products to perform install and service
