R22 Phase Out: What's Your Plan?
23 May 2013
The issues surrounding the replacement of R22 refrigerants and how they contribute to global warming is still the subject of debate.
Companies are now taking action to comply with the regulations before the deadline of 1st January 2015.
The energy efficient option is to replace
By replacing your system with a modern unit which uses non ozone depleting refrigerants, you will see not only a lower carbon footprint but also improved efficiency and output.
The short term fix option is to convert
It may be possible to replace R22 from your system and replace it with a more environmentally friendly alternative. By running an alternative refrigerant which hasn't been designed for use in the ageing system, the efficiency of the system will be greatly affected.
The put it off option is to leave
A system with R22 cannot be worked on after the deadline so if a system goes down the downtime will be high.
