Environmental initiatives
Today the environment is a hot topic. Everyone wants to do their part to prevent global warming and to nurture Mother Nature.
At Comfort-Aire we feel the same way. All of our technicians are Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Journeymen or Apprentices who have been trained according to environmental initiatives.
Refrigerant
Comfort-Aire's employees have received intensive training on handling refrigerant properly.
Many refrigerants are ozone depleting substances. Therefore it is critical to hire a professional contractor such as Comfort-Aire, in order to contain and stop refrigerant leaks.
In addition it is important that your contractor dispose of unusable refrigerant properly. At Comfort Aire we transfer the unusable refrigerant into an environmental bottle, purchased from local wholesalers. It is then shipped to Swan Hills Treatment Centre 
to be destroyed.
Mercury
Mercury is another substance we must handle carefully. It is still common in mechanical style thermostats. All mercury bulbs are recycled in Canada by a local waste management company.
Metal
Metal components are recycled at a local metal scrap yard. On air conditioning systems we would first remove the refrigerant from the unit using our recovery machines and tanks.
Oil
Lubrication oil is poured into our holding drum at the shop. Once the drum is full we call our waste management partner who picks it up for recycling.
Office supplies
Last but not least, our office staff goes the extra mile by recycling all our paper and cardboard.
