Refrigerant leaks have gone from routine maintenance issues to full-blown financial threats.
With September’s budget approvals on the horizon, even a small, unnoticed leak can force costly equipment replacements, rack up EPA fines, and derail your financial plan in ways last year’s spreadsheet could not predict.
