September is here, and that means your HVAC/R business is entering into an important transitional time. Just like the changing of the leaves, your business is changing from AC to furnaces and heat pumps. There’s no better time to make sure your truck is stocked with everything you need to help your customers get ready for the cooler weather ahead.

In this month’s Beyond Repair, we’ll discuss the essential chemicals you need to provide your clients with great preventive maintenance. From coil cleaners to degreasers to leak reactants, your Totaline® sales center has all the chemicals necessary to get the job done. We’ll also talk about Payne® heat pumps and their benefits – both economical and ecological.

You might notice our cover has "gone green" this month, too. Don’t worry – Totaline hasn’t moved away from the red and black you’re used to. We’ve just changed things up a bit to emphasize some of the great ways Totaline sales centers are going green – from a switch to biodegradable packing materials at one RCD facility to the phasing out of R-22 refrigerant in favor of the more environmentally friendly R-410A.

And don’t miss our great monthly features – Stump Jim Flynn will discuss limits, and the importance of safety on every HVAC/R job. In Tools of the Trade, Bob Carré gives some great business tips that will help you as you transition into fall. And Larry Hamer of Maintenance Plus in Lady Lake, Florida is in our Dealer Spotlight. Find out how Larry uses education and preventive maintenance to make the most of his business.

So take a relaxing break and enjoy the September edition of Beyond Repair, the news and information that drives your business.
