Important: Costs, codes, permits, inspection duties, accessibility rules, environmental requirements and insurance conditions vary by country, province or state, municipality, building use, equipment type, installation date and project scope. Qualified local professionals and the authority having jurisdiction must determine what applies. Refrigerants, electrical systems, pressure systems, food safety and flammable refrigerants require qualified technicians and applicable procedures. Do not open, charge, vent, recover or alter refrigeration systems based on this website.
