Quite a few air conditioning systems still contain R22 refrigerant. Due to its environmental impact, the EU has phased this gas out.

From 1 st Jan 2010 – it will be illegal to use virgin HCFC to service RAC equipment. Note, this ban applies even if HCFC was purchased before the ban date. It is illegal to stockpile and use any supplies of virgin HCFCs after the end of 2009.

It will remain legal to continue using RAC equipment containing HCFC beyond the phase out dates proving they do not require maintenance that involves putting any HCFCs back into a system.

This phase out will affect our customers who currently have their R22 units maintained.

There are many alternatives to R22, which is most cost effective to run. Please see our R22 page for more details or call our sales team for more details.
