Just love looking a customer dead in the eye and saying "By the time the warranty is up EPA will force you to buy another system"

[johnjaco]

I'm still using and storing My R12 refrigerant, I'm glad I did.

[mandan]

Craig you rock, don’t stop creating content. I learn a bunch from you

[jaciii]

It's just a coincidence that every time something is supposed to save the planet it's more expensive and makes life harder for regular working families, but it makes a lot more money for giant corporations and trust fund families.

[coldking]

Good video ! The end result is higher costs - just more pressure on the less advantaged . We already carry 9 different types……..

[broncheemims]

Thank you Craig for the information. Please keep us updated.

[John-yfie]

Our HVAC tech/Owner has been in business for 30 years and can always be counted on for the best service! He attends all the updates and his 3 trucks/vans are equipped with all the latest tools and testing equipment. He recently next year will be his last as the expense to suppy new techs with tools and add several more fully equipped vans is not worth it. And now due to the up coming changes the time and effort takes a toll on him at his age!! I know what it's like as I spent 35 years in the automotive field and too many changes also take a toll as one reaches retirement age. I have over $100, 000 in tools in my basement. One tool cabinet is loaded with R12, R134 and 123Yf. Testers, fittings, gauges!! John

I like hot weather; bring on the best refrigerant ever “R-22”!
Nothing works better faster or colder than R22

[robertAWA]

I’m glad I’m retiring in a few years and taking my 25 years of experience with me. The people that have never touched tools or tried to troubleshoot a piece of equipment are coming up with this stuff.

[tannersmith]

The left hand threads is the biggest slap
In the face

[zachlafond]

About time to just start using the propane bottle off the coleman grill to fill up the minisplit.

[AdoptedYooper]

Thank you, sir! This is great information. We may or may not have asked for this change but we must accept that it is happening and roll up our sleeves! The EPA class actually taught me a lot, so it wasn't a bad deal for me. I plan to do the A2L class next year! Great learning experience 👍🏻

[dumptrks]

Another great video Craig..great information

[armorz]

Good video with the information about the refrigerants. I think GWP is a bunch of bs though which isn't AC Service Tech's fault so, dont downvote his video for that guys.

[JoeLiberalism]

Imagine being an HVAC tech in Arizona, mid August with these tanks in your van?

[neilafram]

Great video, very clear and concise. Two points it should mention standards regarding refrigerants like AHRAE 34 & 15 & ISO 817. Also for info, the 700 GWP limit is a figure from Daiki (patent holder of R32) and is NOT legal, moralor ethical. We should not use any class of refrigerant EXCEPT A1 class since 1928!.

[ericspratt]

They probably already know the next refrigerant they’ll foist on the consumer in 10 to 15 years.

[PakMan-wxge]

What a great idea to use the same color and pattern on the tanks! Good job guys! 😂

[DC-dovd]

That’s a lot of safety precautions for refrigerants that supposedly “are not really that flammable “.

[zekenzy]

Another great video as always. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend
