Flammability? Mitigation zones? Pressure controls? In this grounded and practical episode, we chat with Justin Bailey, Technical Trainer at Heatcraft, about how the HVACR industry is navigating the transition to A2L refrigerants…without the panic.
We discuss:
- Why the move to A2Ls isn’t as radical as it sounds—and what hasn’t changed
- How proper pipe sizing and detection systems are key to safe, smart installs
- What mitigation really looks like in a walk-in cooler
- How Heatcraft is supporting techs with dual-rated equipment and modular training
- The value of staying curious, getting ahead of change, and educating the customer
Justin shares real-world experience from the field, lessons from past transitions, and a calm, clear perspective that technicians at any stage will appreciate. If you're facing refrigerant changes with hesitation, this episode will help you breathe a little easier.
