The world of refrigerants is changing fast — and staying informed has never been more important.
In this episode of Did You Know?, Clifton welcomes back Kate Houghton from Hudson Technologies for a deep dive into what’s really going on with regulations, refrigerant supply, and why reclaiming matters more than ever.
From debunking the rumor mill on R-410A and R-22 rollbacks to clarifying what the AIM Act and Subsection H do (and don’t) mean, this conversation cuts through the confusion. Kate and Clifton unpack why every technician plays a critical role in the future of HVAC service gas and how a lack of recovery today could cost you — and your customers — big tomorrow. Plus, hear how states like California and New York are leading the charge on reclaimed refrigerant requirements, and what it means for your installs, service work, and compliance. This episode delivers timely insights, practical takeaways, and a call to action to help you stay ahead in the changing HVACR landscape! The ESCO Group and its affiliates develop standards, validation tools, and training resources for the HVACR and building science fields.
