CodeHaus GA
Marietta, GA · Est. 2026 Free Sample Digest
Founded by a former firefighter · Marietta, GA

I pulled hose
on a fire started
by a heating system.

That fire is why CodeHaus GA exists. It's a weekly compliance digest for Georgia HVAC contractors — EPA refrigerant rules, GA Conditioned Air board updates, OSHA changes, license deadlines — written by someone who's seen what happens when the rules get ignored, and filtered to what actually affects your trade.

Georgia requires Conditioned Air Contractors to complete continuing education every year, renew every two years, and track EPA rule changes that shift mid-quarter. Most shops find out too late — from a supplier, a homeowner, or an inspector.
§ 01

What you actually get

01 ◼

Weekly digest, Monday 6 AM

Three to five items max. Every item: what changed, who it affects, the effective date, and one action you can take this week. If nothing happened, you get a one-line "all clear."

02 ◆

Urgent alerts when it matters

A new EPA proposed rule, an OSHA emphasis program, a GA Board of Conditioned Air emergency bulletin — you get it the same day, not two weeks later when a trade magazine catches up.

Who's behind this

Former firefighter, founder of CodeHaus GA

I served as a firefighter in Mississippi until December 2025. I moved to Marietta with my family, and before I left the service I pulled hose on a structure fire where the building's heating system was the point of origin. Without a working alarm system that auto-dialed 911, that building would have been a total loss. I've also been on a separate HVAC-related leak call. Those two incidents are what got me reading about this stuff.

Every code requirement you're dealing with right now — the A2L refrigerant transition, the new leak detection rules, the updated ventilation requirements, the OSHA heat enforcement questions — all of it exists because of fires and incidents like the ones I responded to. Rules get written in the language of lawyers, but they come from events that look a lot more like what I saw at 3 AM in somebody's attic.

I'm not a lawyer and I'm not a code official. I'm a HAZMAT-trained former firefighter who reads the Federal Register, the EPA bulletins, and the Georgia Secretary of State board pages so you don't have to — and who sends you the three things that matter each week, in plain English, with every source linked so you can verify.

If that sounds useful, grab a sample. If the first digest doesn't save you time, don't pay me.

Honest answers

Wait — a firefighter is running a compliance newsletter?

Yes, and that's actually the point. I served as a firefighter in Mississippi until December 2025 and moved to Marietta with my family. While I was still in the service, I responded to a structure fire that started in a building's heating system and a separate HVAC-related leak. I'm HAZMAT-trained through department materials, not formally certified as a HAZMAT Operations or Technician. What I bring to this isn't legal expertise — it's first-hand experience with what these systems look like when they go wrong, and the patience to read EPA and OSHA rules in detail because I already know why they exist.

Is this legal advice?

No. CodeHaus GA is informational — a filtered summary of publicly available regulatory updates with links to the original sources. We always point you at the primary source so you can verify. For actual legal advice about your specific situation, talk to a lawyer.

How is this different from Poster Guard or GovDocs?

Those services are built around labor law posters and are priced for multi-location employers with in-house HR. CodeHaus GA is built for single-state, single-trade small contractors and it's written from a fire-safety perspective — which is exactly the lens the A2L transition, the new leak detection rules, and the OSHA heat standards are actually about. Different product, different buyer, different voice.

Why HVAC only? Why Georgia only?

Because a generic "compliance newsletter" is useless. If it covers everything, it applies to no one. We started with Georgia HVAC because that's where we can do the deepest work. Other trades and states are coming — founding members get first access.

What if I cancel?

Cancel anytime. No contracts, no cancellation fees. If you're a founding member and you cancel, your $99/mo lock goes away — you'd re-subscribe at the then-current rate.

Can I see a real digest before I pay?

Yes. That's the whole point of the "free sample digest" button. Give us your email and the trade focus you want, and we'll send a real issue within 24 hours. If it doesn't save you time, you never hear from us again.

What happens if you miss something important?

We tell you. We publish corrections at the top of the next digest and email urgent corrections the same day. We'd rather be honest than pretend we're infallible — and that's another reason we always link to the original source.

Get this week's digest.
On the house.

One real issue, delivered within 24 hours. If it saves you time, stay. If not, no hard feelings and no follow-up emails.
