This news came about through RAC\u2019s discussion on the future for refrigerants.<\/p>\n<p>RAC note that:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201c\u2026the message that the new refrigerants \u2018are here to stay\u2019 needs to be driven more forcefully and urgently down to the \u2018high street\u2019 convenience stores, the contractors that service them and their employers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As 2020 inches ever closer the need to prepare for and upgrade to energy efficient, low-GWP refrigeration units becomes ever more imperative.
