This move extends their Rapid Exchange® program, providing local HVACR contractors, businesses, and communities with quick and convenient refrigerant gas cylinder exchanges. This service joins the existing Rapid Recovery® program available in the region.

Efficient and Cost-Free Cylinder Swaps

A-Gas’ Rapid Exchange program offers an efficient solution for contractors and HVACR professionals to trade in used refrigerant gases for new cylinders without incurring fees.

"Rapid Exchange provides a simple way for contractors and HVACR professionals to trade their used refrigerant gases for new cylinders for zero fees, all while bolstering their bottom line with A-Gas’ generous immediate buyback program," states Dallin King, Field Service Manager for the Salt Lake City area.

The localized nature of Rapid Exchange eliminates freight or shipping costs, offering free local cylinder swaps—a significant benefit amid the rise of counterfeit recovery cylinders.

Guaranteed Buyback Program

The program ensures competitive buyback pricing for all properly recovered refrigerant cylinders. Sellers of refrigerants are assured that no buyback reductions will be applied due to contamination by mixed refrigerants, oil, moisture, acid, or particulates.

This initiative covers the greater Salt Lake City area, catering to businesses ranging from small HVACR contractors to larger establishments like grocery stores.

Circular Economy and Sustainable Practices

The program not only facilitates safe refrigerant recovery and reclamation but also strengthens the local economy

Once full recovery tanks are swapped for empty ones through Rapid Exchange, the refrigerants are transported to an A-Gas facility, reclaimed to AHRI-700 specifications, and reintroduced into the supply chain.

"By bringing these essential services to Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas, we are helping contractors incorporate sustainable business practices in their day-to-day operations," says Kimberly Ortwine, Territory Account Manager for A-Gas.

The program not only facilitates safe refrigerant recovery and reclamation but also strengthens the local economy by creating additional revenue streams for businesses.

Advanced Refrigerant Management Technology

A-Gas underlines its commitment to environmental stewardship through comprehensive lifecycle management of refrigerant gases. This includes their recovery, reclamation, market re-entry, and eventual destruction.

Employing its proprietary PyroPlas® technology—a TEAP-certified, United Nations-approved system—A-Gas guarantees unmatched destruction efficiency of 99.9999%, reinforcing its role as a leader in the responsible management of refrigerant gases.
