PHASE OUT OF R22 REFRIGERANT
R22 has been identified as having ozone-depleting potential so the use of virgin R22 will be banned from January 2010. Changes in legislation will affect any company that sustains the need for or has a huge requirement for R22 refrigeration. The main objectives of the regulations are to reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases used as refrigerants through better containment and leakage prevention.
Impact on your business:-
If you own refrigeration or air conditioning equipment operating on R22 Refrigerant, we would strongly advise that you consider reviewing your options in order to minimise the impact on your organisation, both operationally and financially.

We can help you with the forward planning by providing a free, no-obligation audit of your air conditioning and refrigeration systems which will enable us to determine the most suitable action to ensure that not only will your company comply with the legislation but also facilitate you in saving money through significantly reduced energy costs.
