R22 is an outdated refrigerant that has been banned due to its environmental impact. It is no longer legal to use for servicing or maintaining air conditioning systems in the UK.

Systems installed before 2010 are more likely to use R22. If you’re unsure, we can inspect your system and confirm the type of refrigerant used.

Basic repairs can still be carried out, but if refrigerant is required, it cannot legally be topped up. This makes ongoing maintenance increasingly difficult.

R22 systems are typically older, less efficient and more prone to breakdowns. If a fault occurs involving refrigerant, the system may become unusable.

In most cases, replacement is the best option. Modern systems are far more efficient, reliable and compliant with current regulations.

While there is an upfront cost, newer systems are more energy efficient and reliable, often reducing running and maintenance costs over time.

Yes—we can assess your current system, recommend suitable replacements and manage the entire upgrade process from removal to installation.
