Show Notes
Recorded live from the AHR show floor, this episode dives into the policies and regulations shaping the future of the HVACR industry.
I sat down with Todd Titus, Director of State & Public Affairs at HARDI (Heating, Air-conditioning & Refrigeration Distributors International), to talk about the state-level advocacy work happening across the country — and why it matters to contractors, distributors, and manufacturers alike.
In this episode, we cover:
-
The biggest state advocacy issues facing HVACR in 2026
-
What ultra-low GWP refrigerant policies could mean for the industry
-
How PFAS discussions intersect with HVACR equipment and materials
-
Fossil fuel bans and NOx emission regulations at the state level
-
Why grassroots advocacy is becoming increasingly important
Todd also shares how HARDI is expanding its public affairs efforts to ensure the voices of distributors, contractors, and industry partners are represented when policy decisions are being made.
Because the reality is this:
Many of the biggest changes affecting HVACR are being shaped long before they reach the jobsite.
Understanding those conversations is key to preparing the industry for what comes next.
