Albion supports shipowners and yards as Canada transitions to new refrigerant standards. With years of marine HVAC expertise, we understand your unique challenges and recognize that these regulatory changes can feel overwhelming. Canada is phasing down HFC consumption, with reduction steps in 2024, 2029, and 2034, aiming for an 85% reduction by 2036. These rules apply to refrigeration and air-conditioning sectors, including prohibitions by date for certain products and equipment above specified GWP limits. As Canada’s refrigerant landscape evolves rapidly, our team is dedicated to your peace of mind, providing resources around regulations, standards, codes, training, storage, transportation, and servicing legacy systems.
We help vessel owners minimize HVAC failures, refrigerant risk, and drydock delays through engineered marine HVAC inspections, retrofits, procurement, and commissioning support. Our service packages are designed to ensure your vessel stays compliant and reliable:
Package 1: HVAC Health Check
Our Health Check ensures your HVAC system is ready for regulatory changes. This fixed-price inspection includes photos, findings, risk rating, repair list, and a budget estimate.
