We Recycle Refrigerant
Recover, Recycle, & Reclaim, What is it?
Recovering, recycling, and reclaiming refrigerant is an essential process that protects the environment and keeps your HVAC system running efficiently and safely. Here’s what each step involves:
-
Recover: During repairs or maintenance, our technicians carefully remove and capture refrigerant from your system to prevent harmful release into the atmosphere, protecting the ozone layer.
-
Recycle: Once removed, we clean and filter the refrigerant to remove impurities, allowing it to be reused within your system. This reduces waste and extends the life of your HVAC system’s refrigerant supply.
-
Reclaim: If refrigerant needs further processing, we send it to a facility where it’s purified and restored to industry standards, making it safe for use in other systems or for future needs.
At Fresno Heating and Cooling, we’re proud to offer refrigerant recovery, recycling, and reclaim services to Fresno and surrounding areas, providing homeowners an eco-friendly solution to HVAC maintenance. This process not only protects the environment by reducing emissions but also enhances the efficiency of your HVAC system, reducing component wear and potentially lowering energy costs. Choosing Fresno Heating and Cooling means choosing a responsible, sustainable approach that benefits your home and the planet.
-
Can I finance my HVAC installation?We offer financing options to help make installation more affordable. This can include low-interest payment plans, deferred payments, or special promotions. There may also be government rebates or tax incentives for installing energy-efficient systems.
-
What kind of maintenance does a new HVAC system require?Regular maintenance is essential for maximizing the life and efficiency of your new system. This includes annual tune-ups, changing air filters every 1 to 3 months, cleaning the coils, and checking refrigerant levels. Many companies offer maintenance plans for added convenience.
-
Are there energy-efficient options available?Yes, many modern HVAC systems are designed with energy efficiency in mind. Look for units with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating for air conditioners or an Energy Star certification. These systems use less energy, reducing both your carbon footprint and utility bills.
-
How do I choose the right size HVAC system for my home?Choosing the right size is crucial for efficiency and comfort. One of our licensed installers will perform a load calculation to determine the best size based on your home’s square footage, insulation, climate, and other factors. Oversized or undersized units can cause inefficiency and uneven temperatures.
-
What is the warranty on a new HVAC system?Most new HVAC systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty that covers parts for 5 to 10 years, and some companies also offer labor warranties. It’s important to review the warranty details and ensure that regular maintenance is performed to keep it valid.
-
Will a new HVAC system increase my home's value?Yes, installing a new, energy-efficient HVAC system can increase your home’s value. Potential buyers often look for homes with modern, cost-effective heating and cooling systems, making it a smart investment if you plan to sell in the future.

Your HVAC technician can assess whether recycling is needed for your system.
-
What does refrigerant recycling involve?Refrigerant recycling involves removing the refrigerant from your HVAC system, cleaning it to remove impurities, and preparing it for reuse within the same system. Recycling is a way to reduce waste and prolong the usable life of the refrigerant, making it a more sustainable option.
-
Why is refrigerant recycling important?Recycling refrigerant minimizes environmental impact by reducing harmful emissions, conserves resources, and helps keep HVAC systems running efficiently. Reusing cleaned refrigerant also reduces the demand for producing new refrigerant, which can help protect the ozone layer and reduce greenhouse gases.
