Don’t miss the 2024 Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration (AHR) Expo, the largest and most important event of the year for HVAC/R professionals. Held January 22 through January 24 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, the AHR Expo brings together a wide variety of manufacturers and suppliers to share ideas and showcase the future of HVAC/R technology.

RLS will once again have a large presence at the show in Booth #S7988. They will have their full product line on display, and an extensive team on hand to answer any questions you may have. Highlights at the RLS booth will include:

Press competition
Back by popular demand, RLS' famous press competition returns for another year. They will once again name six team captains, who will each choose two additional team members. Three of the six teams will compete on Monday, with the other three teams competing on Tuesday. RLS is setting the bar high this year, as the first team captain is the 2022 ServiceTitan HVAC National Championship winner, Mack Shwert. Additional team captains will be announced in the coming weeks.

Giveaways and prizes
No AHR Expo would be complete without the annual RLS t-shirt giveaway! Be sure to make it to the RLS booth early to add the 2024 shirt to your collection. RLS is also adding the chance to win other valuable prizes – including a trip to the RLS headquarters and manufacturing plant in St. Louis. There may be a few other surprises, so you’ll have to visit their booth to get all the details.

Pressing demonstrations
If you’re still new to pressing, RLS will have demo stations set up to let you get familiar with RLS fittings, tools and jaws. You’ll be able to press a joint for yourself and take it home with you as a souvenir.

Afternoon refreshments
Another RLS tradition: the company will be serving cold beverages on Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Exact times are yet to be announced, so check with RLS when you get to the show so you don’t miss out. (The cold beverages always run out quickly!)
