What your refrigerant means for servicing
Read the refrigerant off the rating plate on the outdoor unit, pick the country, and see what the published regulation actually says. ICI quotes the rule and links to it. It does not inspect, diagnose, estimate cost, or tell you whether to repair or replace.
Choose a country and a refrigerant to see what applies.
Where this comes fromPrimary sources only
Every statement on this page is taken from the regulation or the regulator that published it: the Ozone-depleting Substances and Halocarbon Alternatives Regulations (SOR/2016-137) on the Justice Laws Website, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. No contractor, distributor or vendor page is used as a source, because several of them state a Canadian residential air conditioning restriction that Schedule 1.1 of the regulation does not contain.
ICI is not affiliated with these bodies and neither of them endorses ICI. Each statement links to the page it came from so you can read it at the source, with the date ICI last checked it.
