    It's B-a-a-a-a-ck! The Return of the HVAC 'Wall of Shame'

    May 17, 2019
    The HVAC industry's best contractors encounter some of the worst service and installation practices performed by disreputable hacks. Here are some of their most recent finds.

    The Contracting Business HVAC "Wall of Shame" has long been a fixture on ths site. Thankfully, we also have the "Wall of Pride," which shows the best work by the best contractors. 

    The faithful contractors who anchor our HVAC-TAlk.com website have continued to share photos of the atrocities they find every day and have to make right. But sometimes, they just have to walk away.

    After a long absence due to shifting priorities and resources, we're putting our two "Walls" on a more regular schedule. 

    Click through this new "Wall of Shame" gallery to see why the HVACR industry's best contractors continue to emphasize the need for HVAC training and certification.

    Watch for more frequent "shameful" postings — as well as some quality "Wall of Pride" photos as summer rolls along.
