By:  Mark Vreugdenhil  on  Oct 08, 2026
As A2L refrigerants become more common in HVAC and refrigeration equipment, technicians need to understand the added safety considerations without feeling intimidated by the transition.
In this session, Chris Walsh of TCL HVAC Canada explains that A2Ls deserve awareness and respect, but with the right knowledge, tools, and safe work practices, they need not be feared.
This presentation covers what makes A2L refrigerants different, the risks involved, and the practical precautions technicians should follow when transporting, handling, installing, and servicing A2L systems.
This presentation was part of our Refrigeration Technical Training Day event on Sept. 16.
