The design of gas vent pipes and connectors for furnaces, water heaters, boilers, and other fossil-fuel appliances is a serious matter. Carbon monoxide poisoning, collapsing chimneys, fire hazards, corrosion of vents, draft inducers, heat exchangers, and non-conformance with building codes are all problems associated with improper gas vent installations.

On Demand Refrigerant Safety Classes A2L and A3 have a very low GWP, making them a strong, long-term solution for many HVACR applications. However, these refrigerants are classified as mildly flammable and highly flammable respectively. This flammability class raises safety and compliance concerns. This webinar will help you understand these classes, along with the opportunities these refrigerants can offer.

As the HVAC market continues to expand and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) technologies continue to evolve, the demand for contractors with VRF expertise will only grow. This presentation provides thorough insight into the requirements, advantages and opportunities associated with specifying VRF systems and addresses the common misconceptions contractors may encounter in the field.
