Used refrigerant "buyback" program
If you have used or dirty refrigerant to dispose of, Refron can help you recover them and turn them into a valuable asset. Our refrigerant "buyback" program will provide you with loaner cylinders for your recovery jobs, and pay you the best prices in the industry for the used refrigerants you return. Minimum quantities apply (no 50-lb. cylinders, please), and freight is usually free. Since its inception in 1992, this program has been extremely successful, with millions of lbs. returned and millions of $$ paid. Call to find out more.

Refrigerant cleaning and banking programs
If you anticipate needing your used or dirty refrigerant for current or future uses, you can benefit from our refrigerant cleaning services, or our refrigerant banking program. We can clean your refrigerant to ARI-700 purity and return it to you ready for reuse, at a reasonable cost. If you expect to need your cleaned refrigerant in the future but don't want the responsibility of keeping it on hand, we can store your refrigerant in a "bank" account for you, allowing you to withdraw it when you need it. Lastly, for multi-location corporations we offer an "ATM" style banking program, in which withdrawals of banked refrigerant can be made in smaller quantities to each of your geographically diverse locations as they need it.

Mixed refrigerant disposal
Do you have R12/R22 refrigerant mixtures? R12/R134a? R11/R12? Refron has a variety of disposal options for these and other refrigerant mixtures, including incineration, selective destruction, and separation. In addition, Refron has been awarded a research grant by the New York State Energy Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) to explore non-distillation separation techniques for refrigerants. Talk to us about your problem refrigerants, and we will recommend the least costly approach.

Refrigerant purity testing
Refron maintains a fully equipped Refrigerants Analysis laboratory which can assist you in analyzing the purity of your refrigerants. Whether you are concerned with moisture, oil content, mixed refrigerants, non-condensable gases or other contaminants, we can give you the analyses you need to help you make the best informed decisions.

Integrated electronic management of your account
Because your time is so very valuable, we make sure to have all the information we need to service your account right at our fingertips. When you call to place an order or make an inquiry, we can see instantly your account status, past and pending orders, recent price quotes, technician certification status, results of any special discussions we have had, special instructions you may have left, used refrigerant return status, refrigerant bank balances, available inventory near you ....in short, the whole story. Whether you deal with one person at Refron, multiple people, or even people from our different regional offices, our online integrated database system keeps everyone updated and responsive to your needs.

Technical support
We've learned a few things over the last 45 years in the refrigerants business! So if you have a refrigerant-related question, there's a good chance we have the answer. If you need information on thermodynamic properties of refrigerants, retrofit technical guidelines, refrigerant recovery and evacuation techniques, material safety data sheets, EPA, IRS or U.S. Customs regulations, industry supply and demand trends, refrigerant pricing trends or pretty much any refrigerant-related topic, we can help.
