I have been enlightened over the last few years
from attending seminars on
government every Saturday night and the first thing
I learned was that nothing
political happens by accident. In fact the person
who said that gave me a whole
load of organic alternative refrigerant (Better
World Technologies) that he
didn't want in his building because the maryland
legislature was pressured to
make it illegal to install in cars. I found out
why its because it works (that
is what I use in my car and truck). I have been
using 406A and it is ok but this
stuff works better and doesn't leak.
I have read many ravings by other contractors who
bitch about the new
refrigerants then go ahead and buy them. If they
all boycotted Puron or 410A
then at the phase out there would be no Puron equipment
and the people would
boot all the morons out of office. Its that simple.
I would sell the Better world Technologies
products but I all ready have
people to do that. The only problem is it may be
flammable under the right
conditions. well so is the oil in the system and
the gasoline in your car or
truck. So no one wants to use it even if it does
work great.
When I started doing this stuff before all
this hit I knew this day would come
because it is too easy for the average person to
work on their own stuff and
refrigerants was too cheap. We can't have regular
folks having access to this
refrigerant stuff. I am waiting for the day when
you can't buy any plumbing or
electrical stuff at Home Depot or Lowes. The events
of the last month may just
do that.
If you want to sell your products on my site
feel free. I would like to see
Carrier get a run for their money.
