Welcome back to Chill Under Pressure! Zach from @HARDInews joins us today, where we talk about the upcoming future for the refrigerant world and the major culture shift that must happen for HVAC technicians. We get to learn about who HARDI is and what they do for the refrigerant world. The impending disaster of little to no gas approaches and the lack of recovered and reclaimed gas today makes tomorrow all the more harsh.
