Refrigerant recovery is the process of removing refrigerant from a system and storing it in an external container. This is a vital step during repairs or when decommissioning older units. You can find recovery cylinders and tools in our Other Accessories section. It is illegal to vent refrigerant into the atmosphere, so recovery is mandatory by law. This process ensures that the chemicals can be recycled or safely disposed of. It is part of the environmentally responsible HVAC lifecycle.
