HVAC Distributors Reclaim Program

Be Green and Turn Those Used Refrigerants Into Cash!

A convenient hassle-free return program designed for today’s busy HVACR Contractor.

You already recover used refrigerants from your customer’s systems. Now you can do something good for yourself and for the environment by returning your R-22 to HVAC Distributors for cash.

HVAC Distributors is an authorized refrigerant collection center. As you recover used refrigerants from your customers’ systems, you can return them to HVAC Distributors for both environmentally-friendly disposal and cash.

Here’s how the program works:

  1. Convenient Return. Return reclaimed refrigerant to any HVAC Distributors location — either by dropping off or calling to arrange a pick up (HVAC customers only).
  2. Fast Canister Turnaround. Purchase new refrigerant recycling tanks so you can keep reclaiming while you wait for your refrigerant to be tested and receive an instant credit for the returned tanks.
  3. Get Paid. As part of the HVAC Reclaim Program, you receive a credit on qualifying refrigerant you return as soon as it is processed by the reclaimer.*
  4. Stay Compliant. The reclaim program ensures that you are disposing of refrigerants in compliance with EPA regulation.
