Richard, This depends on what type of equipment the end product is. There are regulations being drafted by the EPA as we speak. Some types of equipment have extensions being granted while other types are expected to have a ban on R134a, possibly as soon as Jan 1, 2016. Another consideration is if the product utilizes blown insulation that is R134a based, there is a push to stop use of this underway as well if a possible date of Jan 1, 2017.

[There are not field serviceable units.] What product take back regulations would apply to this kind of product in Canada and US? This is a new type of product for me. Any assistance is welcome.
