HVAC Techs are venting these dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere everyday, especially during an AC installation. Refrigerants are thousands of times more potent than carbon dioxide and are predicted to be responsible for up to 25% of unwanted greenhouse gases by 2050. We want them gone! (but not in the atmosphere). By law, It is an HVAC worker's responsibility to safely capture refrigerant from the old Air Conditioner before the installation process. We want to teach homeowners what to look for when a technician is present.
