As of the 1st January 2015, the additional use of R22 refrigerant in any air conditioning system was banned.  This will make servicing the equipment extremely difficult and costly

Mitsubishi Electric has seen some of its biggest clients implement and carry out planned phase-out programmes to replace their R22 equipment. 

Results already show that they are benefitting from savings of up to 40% on their running costs by replacing old, inefficient equipment with modern, inverter driven products with higher efficiencies.
