The HVAC industry sits at the frontline of climate action. Every system we install or service can help reduce Belize’s energy use and protect the ozone layer. Green cooling practices are no longer optional — they’re part of the future of refrigeration and air conditioning.
Technicians can lead this shift by:
Choosing low-GWP refrigerants and using them safely.
Performing regular maintenance to ensure optimal energy efficiency.
Educating customers on proper system operation and filter cleaning.
Recycling and properly disposing of old refrigerants to prevent leaks.
These practices don’t just help the environment — they build customer loyalty and reduce long-term operating costs for clients.
ARACT continues to work closely with the DOE to train technicians on environmentally responsible refrigerant management and energy-efficient technologies.
