R22 Phase Out

Have You Complied With New Legislation?

Air conditioning systems use R22 a refrigerant which is a HCFC, this particular refrigerant can be dangerous to us and the environment, therefore the government has agreed on an R22 phase out.

Most businesses and hopefully homeowners will be aware of the government's legislation, on the use of R22, but if not conversant with these new laws it is imperative that advice is sought as soon as possible as it is illegal and will result in huge fines.

The phase out has left companies and homeowners alike the options of replacement, repair, or the use of recycled R22, thus many consumers still use recycled R22 and are waiting for the 2015 deadline for the complete phase out of this refrigerant. To them this could be an expensive option as prices of R22 have recently skyrocketed, and is now available in smaller quantities.

The timetable for the phase out started 2001, by 2002 usage was cut by 15%, 2003 by 55%, 2004 by 70%, 2008 by 75%, and on the 1st of January 2010 the use of virgin HCFC's is prohibited in the maintenance and servicing of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment existing at that date, and by the 1st January 2015 the use of recycled HCFC'S will be banned in the maintenance and servicing of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment existing at that date.

The option of replacing air conditioning systems is probably the most cost effective way forward. With many different models available that totally comply with new regulations, it is prudent to involve a professional company that will not only install a preferred system but provide a full maintenance service.
