Top HVAC Contractors REACT to Tariffs and Refrigerant Changes!

The Successful Contractor Podcast – NEW EPISODE

Tariffs and refrigerant changes are hitting HVAC contractors hard—costs are rising, inventory is tight, and homeowners are hesitant. If your techs, salespeople, and CSRs are all saying something different—or worse, using fear without facts—you’re losing trust and sales.

In this fast-paced, high-impact interview, CertainPath coaches Miki Stone and Esti Jaacovi share what successful HVAC companies are doing right now to thrive in this uncertain environment.

Control the message before your team creates confusion
Train every part of the call—not just objection handling
Speak with empathy, not panic—even when prices go up
Use data-backed scripting to build trust and urgency
Offer financing early, often, and with confidence
Run tighter operations while protecting your margins

Whether you’re running a $1M or $100M shop, the fundamentals are the same: clear communication, smart training, and consistent leadership.

If you want your HVAC business to grow during a downturn, this episode is your playbook.
