Facing a severe U.S. labor shortage in the skilled trades, professionals in those fields are joining forces to help local contractors grow technical talent in their back yards.
EVAPCO, Inc. has acquired Systèmes LMP, Canada, forming a strategic alliance to pursue growing market demand for environmentally sustainable refrigeration systems using natural refrigerants.
With the shortage of trained HVAC technicians, universal HVAC parts are part of the solution, according to some contractors. These universal parts include hot surface ignitors, which offer the added benefit of taking up minimal truck inventory space.
