HVAC also makes sense because some idiots do things like using propane as a refrigerant in systems not designed for it, and then get a literal flamethrower next to their house.
People were able to do that before this law so what's changed?
Honestly I tried to summarize what right ti repair is, but you’ll be better off actually looking into what this bill does.
Basically, for this application nothing changes. That’s kinda the point.
