Used Refrigerants Stuck In Your Commercial Building? What You Need To Know

-


Owning or operating a building with old HVAC systems comes with a wide range of expenses and responsibilities, especially when it comes to repairs and maintenance from commercial HVAC contractors. The cost to replace HFC refrigerants is substantially higher than the newer refrigerants.

The Cost of Harmful Refrigerants is Higher Than You Think, Say Commercial HVAC Contractors 

 Old refrigerants and prohibited refrigerants aren’t just harmful to the environment – they’re targeted by EPA policies that carry stiff fines for businesses and HVAC contractors not conforming to new regulations.

These old refrigerants are classified as Ozone-Depleting Substances (ODS), and as such are regulated as Class I or Class II controlled substances. R-22, for example, is a Class II controlled substance as it contains hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). This and other old refrigerants are currently being phased out and will become illegal on January 1, 2020.

How Can Old Refrigerants be Safely Removed from My Building? 

 The recovery, removal and disposal of old refrigerants is not a simple matter and should be handled by your commercial HVAC contractor to ensure that it is done safely and in line with EPA policies.  Tri-Tech is licensed to remove, reclaim and recover refrigerants.

Your system can then be either equipped with a new, compliant refrigerant if possible, or it will have to be replaced with a new HVAC system that is able to utilize the new refrigerant. One of the upsides of this expense is that you’ll save in the long-run, as new commercial HVAC systems offer significant cost savings through exceptional customization, control and energy-efficiency.

A proper heating system is essential for every commercial building, including factories and industrial sites, and having the correct  boiler system installed  and maintained by specialists is key to operational efficiency and minimal downtime. But all commercial Boiler service companies are not created equal. Levels of expertise, experience, access to specialized equipment, responsiveness, and integrity when considering repair or replace, are also critical. What to look for in your commercial boiler contractors  Commercial and industrial experience:  If you need an existing system maintained, repaired or upgraded, or a new system built from the ground up, residential boiler specialists simply won’t be able to help you – you need a partner who understands the demands of commercial heating systems. This is because scale isn’t the only factor at play – commercial systems have to work harder, have a role beyond just heating in many businesses, and often require advanced facilit

A good commercial HVAC contractor is more than a company that you call when things start going wrong in your building – they’re a partner who works with you to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for employees, clients and tenants.

Looking for a  commercial HVAC contractor  to maintain, repair, design or install a new HVAC system for your building? Here’s some advice to help you find the right team for the job. Don’t Make These Mistakes When Hiring a Commercial Contractor  You don’t know what you need:  Of course, your HVAC contractor should be able to do a full assessment of your system and advise you on repairs or upgrades, but it’s important that you have an informed idea of the services you are seeking. Are you making energy-efficiency a priority? Is your system making strange noises and emitting unpleasant smells? What is your budget? You don’t get multiple quotes:  Unless you have industry experience, it’s very difficult to tell when a quote is reasonable or not, which makes getting multiple quotes essential.
