When you buy a new air conditioner from Neptune Air Conditioning, Inc., we not only will remove and properly dispose of your old air-conditioner as a complimentary service but we will also give up to $10 credit no matter how old your air conditioner is.
According to EPA, there are environmental concerns associated with the disposal of refrigerated household appliances;
Refrigerant: Most window air-conditioning units and dehumidifiers contain hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerant. HCFCs are ozone-depleting substances (ODS) that, if released to the environment, destroy the protective ozone layer above the earth. Moreover, HCFC refrigerants are also potent greenhouse gases, meaning that their release contributes to global climate change. These refrigerants need to be carefully handled since they are greenhouse gases.
NOTE: Do not attempt to remove refrigerant or compressors yourself. Improperly handled refrigerant may result in physical harm. Only properly trained individuals using EPA-approved refrigerant recovery equipment should attempt to remove refrigerant from appliances.
At Neptune, we take a great responsibility to perform this task. Our technicians are EPA-approved. We follow the below process;
Recycling: Appliance recycling typically entails recovery of refrigerant and removal of hazardous components followed by shredding of evacuated appliances. Metal components are separated and recycled, as well as glass, plastics and polyurethane foam. Because there are no legal requirements for foam recovery, the blowing agent contained in the foam insulation is emitted to do our part helping global climate change.
