Airing Their Differences: A/C Hardware and Design Eagle River AK

You've heard the old adage, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." But that's not necessarily true with today's air conditioning hardware and design. There's more to A/C than just cool air and vents, and it's important you know this if you want your techs to be A/C proficient and your shop to be profitable.
