In the past, CFC refrigerants used in air conditioning systems were found to harm the ozone layer. Since then, harmful CFCs have been phased out and are no longer used.

Today’s systems use a new generation of refrigerants (HFCs) which do not harm the ozone layer. They are highly efficient and non-toxic, and can be used in all applications, including homes and businesses.

Global warming and air conditioning

The gradual warming of the climate has tended to increase the use of air conditioning.

The new generation of refrigerants (HFCs) are known to have a global warming potential. However, experts agree that by far the most important factor influencing the impact of air conditioning on climate change is its energy efficiency – which dwarfs many times the contribution of refrigerants.

Today’s modern air conditioning systems are highly efficient, and the Daikin systems installed by Cool-Therm are class leaders in terms of fuel economy.

Fitting a Daikin system supplied by Cool-Therm, you can be confident that the environmental impact is minimised.
