Dedicated website to help users manage refrigerant phase out

Story

A-Gas (UK) Limited has gone live with a dedicated website to help businesses gain further insight and help with the Virgin HCFC use ban.

Despite all the publicity and warnings there are still end-users who are unaware that they may be storing illegal refrigerants. A-Gas’ aim is to help ensure that businesses have easy access and can check out for themselves what options are available.

By logging onto www.hcfcphaseout.com end-users, distributors, contractors, installers or service engineers are provided with a useful tool that provides accessible, up to date information, advice and options to help them manage their installations.

“Our dedicated website provides easy to follow advice and customers can contact A-Gas for further information and technical support,” comments Ken Logan, Managing Director, A-Gas (UK) Limited.

“Many businesses may not realise that the phase-out can bring new opportunities for business and presents a number of opportunities including switching to energy efficient systems with the help of a government-backed loan or taking advantage of more environmentally friendly refrigerants that could also improve energy efficiencies and running costs,” adds Ken.

A-Gas is also offering a reclaimed HCFCs service to ease users through the next stage of the phase out, when HCFCs will be banned in 2015. Reclaimed HCFCs are recovered HCFC gases that have been chemically reprocessed to a specified standard. To identify genuine A-Gas reclaimed the cylinders will have a green shrink wrap as opposed to the magenta wrap and A-Gas’ own cylinder tracking system will be able to identify material and the original batch.

Whatever the application, A-Gas offers unbiased advice; support and help users find the right solution for their requirements.
