BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — A-GAS is highlighting its A2L refrigerant recovery capabilities as HVAC contractors prepare for increased service demand during the peak cooling season.
The company said its specialized recovery services are designed to help contractors safely recover mildly flammable A2L refrigerants, including R-32 and R-454B, as the industry continues its transition toward lower-global-warming-potential refrigerants.
According to A-GAS, growing adoption of A2L refrigerants in residential and light commercial HVAC systems is increasing the need for proper training, equipment, and recovery procedures. The company offers certified recovery equipment and trained technicians to support contractors handling these refrigerants in the field.
To help minimize downtime, A-GAS provides Rapid Exchange tank swap services and Refri-Claim cylinder swap options through participating wholesale suppliers. The programs allow contractors to exchange used recovery cylinders for clean tanks while maintaining proper handling practices for A2L refrigerants.
A-GAS also noted that its Rapid Recovery jobsite recovery service is now available for A2L refrigerants. The company said the service can accelerate refrigerant recovery compared to traditional recovery methods, helping contractors complete work more efficiently during periods of high demand.
The company stated that its Environmental Protection Agency-certified technicians also hold ESCO A2L certification and are trained in the safe handling and recovery of mildly flammable refrigerants.
Recovered refrigerant is processed through A-Gas' reclamation network, where eligible material can be reclaimed for future use and unusable refrigerant can be safely destroyed. According to the company, this process helps contractors maintain compliance, reduce downtime, and support responsible refrigerant lifecycle management as the industry continues transitioning to next-generation refrigerants.
