Why Natural Refrigerants?
The refrigerant in your HVAC system, or the one you are about to buy, is probably a PFAS compound that contaminates your living environment. It likely struggles once temperatures reach 35°C, costs more to run than it should, and faces an EU ban by 2027.
Here's what the rest of the HVAC industry is not telling you, and what can cut your energy bills by up to 34% without the PFAS exposure that comes with R454B and R454C.
Why Natural Refrigerants Matter: Eliminating PFAS and Forever Chemicals
Synthetic refrigerants, including R410A and "eco-friendly" alternatives like R454B and R454C, contain PFAS: forever chemicals found in 99% of humans, linked to kidney and testicular cancer, liver and thyroid disease, high cholesterol, and reproductive harm.
Switching synthetics doesn't solve the problem. R32's MSDS links inhalation to disorientation, unconsciousness, cardiac arrhythmia, and birth defects.
Only natural refrigerants contain zero PFAS, zero fluorinated compounds, and release nothing harmful if they leak. They don't just reduce chemical harm. They eliminate it entirely.

Why Natural Refrigerants Boost Energy Efficiency and Cut Your Energy Bills
Why Natural Refrigerants Cut Maintenance Costs and Last Longer
Most maintenance problems trace back to one thing: the wrong refrigerant.
Every breakdown, repair call, and early system replacement adds up. Synthetic refrigerants push systems harder, driving up repair bills and shortening HVAC system life.
Our systems use R290 (propane), a natural refrigerant operating at up to 30% lower pressures than R32 and R454B.
Lower operating pressures reduce compressor strain, vibration, and wear on pipework and fittings, cutting maintenance costs significantly and reducing the likelihood of leaks and breakdowns.
Switch to R290 once. Save for years.
FAQ
Here you can find answers to technical questions surrounding natural refrigerants including hydrocarbons, water (R718) and carbon dioxide (R744).
Why do natural refrigerants cut maintenance costs?
Lower discharge pressures reduce compressor strain, vibration, and wear on pipework and fittings, cutting maintenance costs significantly.
Why do natural refrigerant systems last longer?
R290 systems last significantly longer due to reduced operating pressures and lower compressor demand.
What makes natural refrigerants more reliable long term?
Reduced compressor demand minimises component fatigue, lowers breakdown risk, and delivers smoother, more reliable operation.
Why do natural refrigerants reduce wear on equipment?
Lower discharge pressures reduce strain on compressors, pipework, joints, fittings, and hoses, minimising component fatigue and the likelihood of leaks.
