Advice on R22

Space Airconditioning, Guildfordbased distributor of Daikin equipment has set up a dedicated R22 replacement advisory team to assist with the planning process and replacement strategy for systems operating with HCFC R22 refrigerant.

It will advise on environmentally acceptable, energy efficient alternatives from Daikin's range.

Benefits can be gained from replacing older equipment, particularly in terms of energy efficiency. Recent publicity promoting the Carbon Trust interest free loans draws attention to this.

The opportunity to reassess cooling requirements enables optimised design, increased energy efficiency and reduced operating costs. On the flip side, particularly if the old system is still working, the thought of investing in new equipment could be a cause of concern. Space Air's team will offer advise on how to ease the financial burden.
