Consistent with our commitment to decarbonize buildings with high-efficiency heat pumps, ventilation, and automation, DXS Service is also committed to supporting the circular economy of refrigerants. Transitioning to lower GWP refrigerants such as R-32 is key for new systems moving forward, however, there are millions of pounds of R-410A refrigerant currently sitting in HVAC equipment on existing buildings across North America. One of the most important steps that we can take as an HVAC industry to reduce emissions from refrigerants, is to ensure that as many of those pounds of R-410A get properly removed from the field (at end of life or during repairs) and taken to certified reclaim facilities. Doing so properly prevents that refrigerant from being leaked into our atmosphere, but it also reduces the amount of new virgin refrigerant that must be manufactured, and the energy and emissions required to do so.
The DXS service team performs extensive maintenance and repair work on Daikin VRV and splits systems, and as a result, is handling thousands of pounds of R-410A each year. Moving forward, DXS is committed to only using certified U.S. reclaimed R-410A refrigerant for each and every Daikin VRV and split system that we maintain or repair. This commitment also includes ensuring that every pound of R-410A recovered from the field makes its way back to certified recycling and reclaim facilities.
