As environmental standards continue to evolve, refrigerant regulations in Michigan play an increasingly important role in how HVAC systems are serviced, maintained, and retired. For Michigan contractors and facility managers, staying compliant with both federal EPA laws and state guidelines is essential to protect the environment—and your bottom line.
At Refrigerant Services LLC, we specialize in refrigerant recovery, recycling, exchange, and buyback services across Michigan. Our mission is to make compliance easy, efficient, and environmentally responsible.
The Importance of EPA Refrigerant Regulations
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates refrigerants under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act, which sets strict standards for handling, recovering, and disposing of ozone-depleting and high-global-warming-potential (GWP) substances.
Key EPA requirements include:
- Certified handling: Only EPA-certified technicians can service or dispose of refrigerant-containing systems.
- Recovery and recycling: All refrigerants must be properly recovered and recycled before equipment disposal or maintenance. Venting refrigerant into the atmosphere is prohibited by law.
- Recordkeeping: Businesses must maintain documentation of refrigerant recovery, transfer, and disposal.
- Safe transportation and storage: Used refrigerant must be handled in accordance with DOT and EPA standards.
By adhering to these regulations, contractors and building owners not only avoid costly fines but also help protect Michigan’s air quality and natural resources.
How Refrigerant Services LLC Supports Compliance
At Refrigerant Services LLC, we help HVAC professionals and facility managers across Michigan meet these EPA requirements through our specialized refrigerant services:
- Refrigerant Recovery: We safely recover used refrigerants from HVAC and refrigeration systems to prevent environmental release.
- Refrigerant Recycling: Our team processes recovered refrigerants for reuse, ensuring they meet quality and purity standards.
- Refrigerant Exchange: We offer quick and convenient refrigerant exchange services—swap out your used refrigerant for clean, ready-to-use product.
- Refrigerant Buyback: Turn your excess or recovered refrigerant into cash through our competitive refrigerant buyback program.
We do not reclaim refrigerants, but we work closely with Michigan contractors to ensure all recovered materials are managed responsibly and in compliance with federal and state regulations.
Why These Regulations Matter in Michigan
Michigan’s climate demands efficient heating and cooling systems year-round. Proper refrigerant management ensures these systems operate safely and efficiently—without harming the environment. By following EPA refrigerant regulations, Michigan businesses help reduce emissions that contribute to ozone depletion and climate change.
As more refrigerants are phased down under national HFC reduction programs (like the EPA AIM Act), compliance and responsible recovery practices are more important than ever.
