On "Refrigerant Recovery is a Revenue Opportunity"
The AIM Act phase-down is real and it's a supply crunch you can't avoid, so contractors who treat recovery and reclamation as a margin play rather than a compliance chore are going to move ahead of shops that don't. You're already pulling refrigerant off units at end-of-life or retrofit—the question is whether you're capturing that material as inventory or watching it walk out the door. Building the process, getting certified, and marketing recovery as a service takes work upfront, but you're sitting on stranded assets right now that your competitors aren't monetizing.
