Prime Time to Educate Consumers About the Benefits of R-410A
Customer awareness of the industry transition to R-410A still seems to be on the low side, so contractors need to be prepared to spend time educating consumers about the new refrigerant. One estimate is that only 30 to 40 percent of the public knows about the phaseout of R-22.by Joanna R. Turpin
Manufacturers Provide Support for R-410A Education Effort
