Looking to learn in a fun way, introducing Refrigerant Renegades, the coolest comic strip in the HVACR industry.

Issue #1 drops you straight into Comfort City, where climate control isn’t just a job — it’s a way of life. For years, the legendary Chillmaster R-410A has kept temperatures tame and systems stable. But the winds of change are blowing... Now, two bold newcomers are rising from the next generation of refrigerants: R-454B – the eco-conscious warrior with efficiency in his veins and sustainability on his mind.

Stay tuned. The battle for the future of HVACR is just heating up... or, well, cooling down.
