TAKE ACTION: If your customers request it, go to your Profile and add your Refrigerant Certification Level in the Trade Certification section.

To receive ongoing ServiceChannel mobile updates, including bug fixes, security updates and other enhancements, these older devices need to be replaced with newer models.Table of Contents
