Important Environmental Concerns
Studies have shown that certain man-
made chemicals can affect the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer when released into the
atmosphere. Refrigerants that contain Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs) and those containing Hydrogen, Chlorine, Fluorine
and Carbon (HCFCs), may affect the ozone layer. Not all refrigerants have the same potential impact on the environment. YMGI
Group advocates for the responsible handling of all refrigerants including industry replacements for CFCs such as HCFCs and
HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices
YMGI Group believes that responsible refrigerant practices are important to our customers, the HVAC/R industry and the
environment. All HVAC/R technicians who handle refrigerants must be certified. The Federal Clean Air Act (Section 608) sets
forth the requirements for handling, reclaiming, recovering and recycling of certain refrigerants, the equipment and tools necessary
to perform these service procedures. In addition, some states or municipalities may have additional requirements that must also
be adhered to for responsible management of refrigerants. HVAC/R technicians must know the applicable laws and follow them.
