Recognizing the risks, HEB took decisive action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution<\/strong>: HEB partnered with Lowe Rental to replace these chronically leaking systems with self-contained R290 reach-in refrigeration cases. This proactive approach eliminated the need to report these appliances to the EPA, drastically reducing compliance risks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No further EPA reporting required for replaced systems.<\/li>\n<li>Rapid transition to compliant refrigeration solutions.<\/li>\n<li>Minimal business disruption during the upgrade process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Since then, HEB has continued to focus on modernizing their refrigeration infrastructure, using rental solutions to quickly address compliance issues,\u00a0 while keeping costs under control When stores that received self-contained rental units are up for a remodel or expansion, the rental cases stay to support the remodel and are then moved to the next needed project.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Case Study: Helping HEB Stay Ahead of EPA Compliance.
