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.
