PREMIUM, ECO-FRIENDLY EQUIPMENT

UNDERSTANDING THE F-GAS / HFC PHASEDOWN

The ongoing HFC phasedown continues to shape the refrigeration and air conditioning industry. Under EU F-Gas regulations, the amount of high-GWP refrigerants allowed onto the market is being reduced each year. This pushes end users to transition quickly toward more environmentally friendly alternatives for stationary refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump systems.
As the phasedown progresses, the reduced supply of high-GWP gases is already leading to noticeable shortages, resulting in significant and rapid price increases across the sector.

SIMPLE GUIDE TO AC ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Refrigeration and air conditioning systems operate using the “coefficient of performance,” meaning they can deliver around 2.5–3kW of cooling or heating for every 1kW of electricity used. This efficiency comes from the heat pump transferring energy between the indoor and outdoor environments.


To estimate AC running costs, take the system’s total kW capacity, divide it by 2.5, then multiply by the estimated number of hours it operates each day. Finally, multiply that figure by your electricity rate (in pence per kWh), noting that charges vary depending on your supplier. For expert guidance or help calculating your costs, contact us today.

TYPICAL COST ESTIMATES

Based on a 3Kw wall-mounted unit

 3Kw divided by 2.5 = 1.2

 1.2 × 8 hours per day = 9.6

 9.6 × 6.5p (average kilowatt per hr price)

 = 63 pence per day

 = £5 per 5-day week

 = £21.40 per month
