Happy New Year! Welcome to the first HVAC-Talk.com newsletter of
2009. This year marks the 65th anniversary of Contracting
Business magazine and also marks a year of changes for our
online and print media. Both www.ContractingBusiness.com
and Contracting Business magazine have a new look for the
new year. One of the features of the newly redesigned
ContractingBusiness.com magazine is that it's closely tied
to the Contracting Business website. Certain articles in the magazine
have sidebars and other information that can only be read on
ContractingBusiness.com. The information that's on the website can be
read in more detail in the current issue of
ContractingBusiness.com magazine. The first two articles
below can only be found on the Contracting Business website. If you're
looking for the full in-depth story, subscribe to

with those distributors’ recovery services, the greater the chance the
industry will avoid the negative ramifications of foot dragging.
