EPA’s new rules change Air Conditioning Refrigerant

[Kleen Air Services]

With environmental consciousness becoming the watchword of the new
millennium, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken the
leadership in protecting our surroundings from harmful chemicals.
Accordingly, the EPA has formulated regulations under the aegis of
Section 608 of the Clean Air Act of 1990 that make it mandatory for
every establishment that has an air conditioning system to have a
refrigerant monitoring and recovery plan in place to register any
leakage of harmful gases, and recover them for reuse.

As per the rules, all owners of air conditioning equipment containing
more than 50 lbs. of refrigerant need to establish and maintain
detailed records of all refrigerant usage and any service work
performed, even if contractors are used. Also, maximum leak rates have
also been revised downward on systems installed after 1992.
