How to Prepare for a U.S. Federal Government Phaseout of Refrigerants in Your Heating/Cooling Systems

You have thirty days from your date of enrollment to complete this course.

The U.S. federal government is phasing out refrigerants commonly used in heating/cooling systems. You may be effected, even if you have a gas furnace.

This will effect most heating/cooling systems in the U.S. The systems cannot be retrofitted so we need to prepare for this change now.
