When it comes to HVAC, one can never have enough pizza.

Pizza to the Rescue

Taking a break from the cold and HVAC action, there is always room for pizza. All enjoyed the moment and, after eight pizza pies, we are ready to get back into the HVAC mix.

Hope all had a solid MLK day and ready to do the HVAC! Though today has nasty weather limiting outdoor excitement, we concentrated on recovering techniques as well as brazing.

Recovery Techniques

Knowing the ability to recover, today we enhanced our abilities via discussing, watching videos, and doing. All got their hands on hose connections, recovery machines, and completing the process. Our recovery abilities will be put to test in the weeks to come as system and component swaps are on the schedule.

Thank you for being an agent of change
