R22 - refrigerant used by most air conditioners now banned by EU -This Affects YOU!!

R22 is the most common form of refrigerant or hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) used by air conditioning systems.

 

Due to new EU directives it is now banned for all uses.

R22 will still be around until about 2015, but any new units installed are no longer supplied with this refrigerant - the problem arises when we need to replace refrigerant on your old units as we no longer have access to any form of Freon (R22). i.e. your units running on freon will not be considered illegal.

There is an alternative available but it is not yet in common use in Portugal. Please bear with us while we try and find a supply.

But if you have old malfunctioning units it is quite sensible to consider installing newer, more efficent units under warranty - spare parts in Portugal for the older units can be a nightmare to get hold of and it is quite often cheaper just to replace the unit.

Please contact us for an EU friendly alternative ....

 
Algarve Air Conditioning

imageAir conditioning has a positive effect on personal performance, health and indoor equipment.


With air conditioning you can create the level of comfort at which you feel best, with exactly the right temperature and a comfortable humidity.


Modern air conditioners produce clean, healthy fresh air, dehumidify the air and prevent mold. All of this efficiently and without draught or noise.


In short,air conditioning makes you feel better, more active and fit, resulting in many advantages, because he or she who feels better is more creative and productive. 

PENGUIN offers a range of air conditioning systems to suit all needs, whether for your entire home for one or more rooms, or for your business.

The air conditioning units offered by PENGUIN work as "heat pumps" being able to either cool or heat and also to treat the humidity, cleanliness and control the air distribution.


The principle of air conditioning always comes down to absorbing energy in one place and releasing it in another.

The process requires an indoor unit, an outdoor unit and copper piping to connect both. Through the piping the refrigerant flows from one unit to another. It is the refrigerant that absorbs the energy in one unit and releases it in the other. A heat pump is an air conditioner which can be used both for cooling and heating because it is able to reverse the process of transporting heat from one place to another.
