The first phase of the HCFC phase out has now been with us since 31st December 2009.
It is now illegal to use virgin HCFCs to maintain
or service refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
The complete ban on the use of HCFCs comes into effect on 1st January 2015. This ban includes the use of reclaimed and recycled HCFC products.
In the interim period we are seeing the availability
of HCFCs such as recycled R22 become more
and more scarce. The cost of these products is also dramatically increasing and will continue to
do so until the full ban comes into place.
The proportion of older plant still in operation and running on R22 for example, is still alarmingly high. By contacting Demeva now we can visit your site
and carry out a free assessment and survey of your plant. We can then provide a tailor made solution based on your needs.
