The EPA Doesn’t Cover Everything:
Why Your Techs Can Still Handle Most A/C Repairs — Even Without Certification.
When summer hits and air conditioners start breaking down, most property managers brace for one thing:
Expensive HVAC service calls
📞 Angry tenant follow-ups
🤷♂️ And techs saying, “I can’t touch that—I’m not EPA certified.
”Here’s the truth: That mindset is costing your community more than it should. Let’s clear something up:
The EPA Only Regulates One Part of A/C Work. The EPA certification (Section 608) is only required for handling refrigerants—like adding or removing freon. That’s it. And get this: less than 30% of broken A/C calls are actually freon-related. That means your techs can legally—and confidently—handle 70% or more of A/C issues without an EPA license.
We’re talking about:
Faulty thermostats
Bad capacitors
Blown fuses
Dirty coils
Clogged drains
Electrical issues
Airflow problems
Compressor relays
Bad Motors
and more
So why are so many maintenance teams defaulting to “call an HVAC contractor” for every issue?
Because They’re Not Confident in the Diagnosis And that’s exactly where Repair Direct comes in. We give your on-site maintenance staff instant, real-time video access with our seasoned A/C experts—guys who’ve done the job for decades and can walk your tech through precisely what’s wrong and how to fix it.
Not only does this mean your techs can solve most issues on the spot, it also means when it is a refrigerant problem: You’ll know before you call someone in You’ll avoid unnecessary contractor upsells. Your tech will be educated enough to spot shady recommendations.
Fewer Outsourced Calls. Better Techs. Smarter Decisions. Let’s be real—there will always be some issues that require a licensed HVAC pro.
