The Air Conditioning Podcast
by Brad & Shane Rawson
We discuss all things Air Conditioning. The Hot topics and the Cold hard facts!Welcome to the Air Conditioning Podcast! First things first, we are by no means professional broadcasters (amateur at best in fact) and podcasting is a first for us so please excuse us for any clumsy technique :)This podcast is intended for general information only and will hopefully deliver unbiased content for the benefit of not only consumers looking to purchase or seeking general information about air conditioning, but also those working within the field of air conditioning. We don't profess to have all the answers to this industry so figured it would be a great opportunity to interview experts in the industry to get their insights.We hope the content in this podcast is of benefit and cheers for listening!
