Video of HVAC 122 Refrigerant Recovery, why we need to in HVAC course by Love2HVAC with Ty Branaman channel, video No. 150 free certified online
Reasons for recovery
1 Environmental, (will not be discussed or debated here)
2 The Basis of out Certification
3 Its the Law EPA regulations 40 CFR Part 82, Subpart F
4 Fine of $44,539 per day per violation, 5 years in prison (doubled on second offense) confiscation of refrigerants and loss of certification.
5 Advertised reward for people to turn techs in (unlikely for anyone to get the reward).
6. may not be enforced all the time but can easily change.
7. Recovery of refrigerants can bring money
8. the more non produced refrigerants recovered means more of that same refrigerant available to use (reclaimed refrigerant sold as new)
9. If we don't recover with the required equipment, the homeowner should be able to do the repairs themselves without the required equipment.
10. Professionalism. nobody likes to do recovery but its just part of the trade and the requirements of this career.
for a list of the fines levied in the past
