Are you still using R22?

It is very common in the Middle East to find air conditioners and heaters continuing to use the R22 refrigerant which is an ozone depleting chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) and is banned by law across many developed countries. Andrews Sykes Climate Rental is one of the first companies in the UAE to take a step towards a better environment. All our AC and heating units offered to our clients are totally free of CFC’s and HCFC refrigerants.

HCFC units are still available for purchase and rent in the Middle East despite the dangerous environmental implications and due to the lesser restrictions as compared to the other parts of the world.

Andrews Sykes Climate Rental uses modern replacement systems such as the R410A which are up to 60% more energy efficient than the R22 units. The R410A is also referred to as the refrigerant of the future, as it isn’t flammable and is non-toxic. The Middle East is already looking forward to freeze on the usage of harmful refrigerants by 2016 but many people are still unaware and continue usage of these type of units, often because of lack of proper knowledge or being unable to find the right vendor providing an eco-friendly unit.

Investment in an eco-friendly air conditioning unit will not only provide our clients with significant energy savings, but also leads to safeguarding the environment.

If you are still confused about the right refrigerant being used in your HVAC system, or you would like to have a temporary cooling or heating system installed which is more efficient yet environmentally friendly, Andrews Sykes Climate Rental is just a click away. Our technical experts are trained in installation of the best AC and heater units across the Middle East.
