Summary

Since the 1st July 2012, hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants have become more expensive to purchase and replace based on their direct global warming potential. The indirect emissions of refrigeration and air conditioning systems is also being addressed by encouraging improved energy efficiency and reduced electricity use through carbon pricing. Electricity prices are rising due to a number of factors including rising generation, distribution and peak demand costs, as well as carbon pricing effects. With escalating costs in both electricity and refrigerant supplies, the operating efficiency of refrigeration systems and their energy consumption and demand has never been more important.
