Our Range of Services

YOUR PARTNER FOR

ALL PROJECT PHASES.

Consulting on trends, technological developments, and comprehensive solutions; the F-Gas Regulation, with a focus on sustainable refrigerants and environmentally friendly solutions to ensure compliance with future legal requirements.

CONSULTING

System design that takes into account technical standards and guidelines, tailored to individual customer needs. Analysis of the necessary machinery, refrigerants, control and regulation devices, insulation, electrical schematics, etc.

PLANNING

Engineering of various types of systems, including direct expansion (DX) systems, single- and dual-circuit systems, water-cooled chillers, switchgear and control equipment, walk-in coolers, and data transmission systems.

ENGINEERING

All types of installation services at the customer's site. The installation of refrigeration systems requires a comprehensive understanding of building services engineering as well as the integration of the refrigeration systems into the wider building services.

INSTALLATION

24/7 service, 365 days a year, supported by modern data transmission tools and real-time system monitoring.

SERVICE

Maintenance is performed according to predefined schedules. This includes, among other things: adjustments, lubrication, refrigerant refills, replacement of other consumables, and scheduled replacement of wear parts.

Planning for Future-Proof Refrigerants

The demands of tomorrow?

We already have them in mind today.

The EU F-Gas Regulation is gradually tightening the requirements for refrigerants. Key deadlines will take effect as early as 2027. Anyone planning, modernizing, or seeking to operate existing systems safely in the long term must act early. We can help you set the right course for sustainable refrigerants.

2027 | LESS ROOM TO MANEUVER ON F-GASES.

Starting in 2027, the total permitted amount of HFCs in the EU will drop to 12.3% of the 2015 baseline. At the same time, stricter GWP limits will apply to new systems for the first time: For self-contained air conditioning systems and heat pumps up to 50 kW, as well as for air-to-water split systems, only a GWP below 150 will be permitted—this means the commonly used R-32 (GWP 675) will no longer be available for sale for new systems.

Important: This applies only to the placing on the market of new equipment, not to the operation of existing systems. For you, this means: When making new purchases, consider the GWP limits from the outset; for existing systems, keep an eye on the maintenance regulations (as of 2026, only virgin refrigerants with a GWP below 2,500 will be permitted).

Please contact us if you would like to know whether your planned or existing system is affected.

Starting in 2030, the permitted amount of HFCs will decrease further to 5.2% of the 2015 baseline. Refrigerants with a high GWP are disproportionately affected by this. In addition, a levy of €3 per metric ton of CO₂ equivalent will be applied to each allocated quota—for a high-GWP refrigerant such as R-404A (GWP approx. 3,920), this will have a significantly greater impact than for low-GWP alternatives.

For you, this means: Anyone still using high-GWP refrigerants today should expect noticeable shortages and rising costs in the medium term. Switching in a timely manner protects against supply shortages and foreseeable price increases.

Please contact us if you would like to know how this development will affect your system.

Request Refrigerant Consultation →

Existing systems may continue to be operated, maintained, and recharged—there is no general requirement to decommission them. However, stricter maintenance requirements will apply to refrigeration systems starting in 2032: Only virgin refrigerants with a GWP below 750 will be permitted.

What remains legally permissible must also be available on the market—but for high-GWP refrigerants, this is becoming increasingly uncertain due to phase-down requirements and declining quotas. If a system fails or loses refrigerant due to a leak, replenishment can be difficult to obtain. The result: rising costs and potential downtime.

Please contact us if you’d like to check whether your existing system is affected and what options are available to you.
