What if the next thing to break… was your air conditioning—and no one could fix it? In this urgent and eye-opening episode, Shawn sits down with Jorge Alvarez, VP of Sales for IGAs and a key voice in the HVAC industry, to expose a looming nationwide crisis already affecting millions of Americans. This is not clickbait. It’s already happening. *Topics covered:* -The massive refrigerant shortage hitting HVAC systems across the U.S. -Why Biden-era EPA rules may have created a $25 billion inflation bomb for consumers -How small HVAC contractors are being cornered, blamed, and crushed by the system -Why you may be paying 600% more for AC repairs—or worse, left with no cooling at all -What’s behind the sudden switch to flammable gases like R-454B -Who profits (spoiler: it’s not you), and why the U.S. is the only country accelerating this timeline Jorge also explains how to take action now to help reverse the mandate, with a live petition to rollback the rushed EPA rule and return to a gradual global standard supported by 200+ countries. *Why It Matters:* -50–70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck—a $10K AC repair isn’t survivable. -This is a nonpartisan problem with dangerous consequences. -It affects every homeowner, business, school, nursing home, and child in America—especially in the South. -And no one’s talking about it—until now.
