Planning Ahead for R22 Replacement

Why should owners of air conditioning using R22 refrigerant consider replacing it?

Any air conditioning over 10 years old probably uses R22 refrigerant, an ozone-depleting CFC which was banned in most new systems in 2002. By EU law R22 systems will become unserviceable at the end of 2014, meaning that it will be illegal to repair them in the event of any failure. It is not economical to repair the systems as spare parts and recycled R22 are expensive and in short supply.

Modern replacement systems use more environmentally friendly refrigerants and are up to 60% more energy efficient than R22 systems, meaning that owners often pay back replacement costs in energy savings alone within 3 or 4 years. read more

Q & A: What is R22?

R22 is the name of a commonly used CFC refrigerant which has been banned in new air conditioning systems in UK & Europe since 2002 because of its ozone-depleting properties. Therefore although many are still in use, these ageing systems will, by law, become unserviceable at the end of 2014. At that point it will be illegal to repair them in the event of any failure. Spare parts and recycled R22 are already in short supply and increasingly expensive so, even now, it is often uneconomical to attempt a repair. Furthermore, modern replacement systems use environmentally responsible refrigerants and are up to 60% more energy efficient than R22 systems, meaning that they often pay back their replacement costs in energy savings alone within 3 or 4 years. read more

Q & A: How often should air conditioning be maintained?

The frequency of maintenance depends on the usage pattern of the air conditioning and the environment in which it operates. Generally equipment which runs for long periods of the day, is used for both winter heating and summer cooling or operates in a dirty or dusty environment should be visited at least twice per year and often 4 or more times per year. Planned Maintenance Contracts are specifically tailored to suit your particular environment and installation with the frequency of visits set to ensure the optimum reliability and efficiency of the air conditioning. read more
