HARDI has launched a ‘Grassroots Advocacy Center’ for contractors and distributors to engage with legislative and regulatory issues affecting the HVAC industry. 

What’s happening: The online hub features a list of active campaigns, allowing users to shape policy decisions by sending comments directly to federal and state officials.

  • It also includes an ‘Election Center’ for users to view their local elected officials, along with a search tool to look up HVAC-relevant state or federal legislation by keyword.

What they’re saying: “One of our industry’s biggest strengths is the collective voice of our members,” Alex Ayers, HARDI’s Vice President of Government Affairs, said in a statement. “This new platform lays the foundation for effective, strong, and coordinated advocacy efforts across the federal and state levels.”
