The Australian Refrigeration Council (ARC) has partnered with Refrigerant Reclaim Australia (RRA) and the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) to produce a new brochure to promote the value of always using a licensed RAC technician.
The brochure was previewed at the recent ARBS 2022 trade exhibition and is now available as a free download from the ARC and RRA websites for licensed technicians to include with their digital quotes.
ARC chief executive officer Glenn Evans said the brochure was designed to help fridgies explain to their customers why they should only deal with ARCtick licensed technicians.
“We all know how difficult it can be for a licensed technician to compete on price with someone who may be cutting corners, not recovering used refrigerants, and trimming the price accordingly,” he said.
“To help redress that balance, fridgies can attach this brochure to their quotes to explain that only ARCtick licensed technicians safely and legally recover gases from fridges, air conditioners and heat pumps.
“Instead of having to explain it themselves, technicians have ARC, RRA and the Australian government telling their customers why it’s so important.
“The message to consumers is clear: be lawful, be safe and be part of the refrigerant transformation, it’s the right thing for you and the environment.”
