R22 Scrappage Scheme

Posted Date 16/02/2012

We are all familiar with scrappage schemes for old cars and boilers. But here’s something new – The Andrews Air Conditioning Scrappage Scheme.

Any air conditioning over 10 years old probably uses R22 refrigerant, an ozone-depleting CFC which is now banned. By law R22 systems will become unserviceable at the end of 2014 – spare parts are already in short supply and increasingly expensive.

The Andrews Air Conditioning Scrappage Scheme gives you a massive £150 scrappage allowance towards your new air conditioning for every R22 system we replace* when you take out a Planned Maintenance Contract with us. And all our new air conditioning is ozone-friendly, highly energy-efficient and comes with up to 5 years warranty.
