The chances of a vehicle pulling up outside your garage with the
new HFO-1234yf refrigerant in its air conditioning (AC) unit are fast
increasing so you need to make sure you’re ready to service it.
However, this doesn’t mean you can forget about its predecessor,
R134a, just yet.
Experts predict that vehicles requiring the R134a refrigerant will
be in the marketplace for at least another decade. So, what does
this mean for you? Put simply, if you haven’t done so already, you
should invest in a new air conditioning machine fitted with the
latest technology capable of servicing HFO-1234yf to the highest
of standards.

It may also be the right time to replace your existing R134a
machine. Or if you’re currently outsourcing AC servicing because
you don’t have the right machine at your garage, consider
purchasing one for the first time. This will ensure you avoid turning
away loyal customers and will enable you to maximise revenue
streams.
While some older cars might not be equipped with AC units, it’s
more or less a given in new cars. Identifying the right AC machines
to enable your garage to service them effectively is an area that
needs your full attention. A popular choice for smaller outfits
is the ECK Twin. With two machines in one unit to service both
refrigerant types, this option offers excellent value for money.
