Recycling Environmentally Friendly Heating & Cooling Options

Recycling

We share an obligation to care for the Earth. While our recycling practices may take more time and effort, we simply see it as being environmentally responsible and doing our part for a greener tomorrow.

Like You, We Recycle

Are you curious about what happens to your old furnace and air conditioner? The recycling process begins right at your home! Before moving your old air conditioner or furnace, our certified technicians safely remove and handle hazardous refrigerant, following strict EPA protocol in order to prevent leaks into the ground or atmosphere. Old equipment is brought back to Standard Heating’s recycling facility, where we dismantle and sort materials.

Refrigerant Recycling Process

Clean refrigerant is stored at Standard Heating’s EPA-approved facility and then sent to a refrigerant reclaimer to be recycled back to its virgin state. Standard Heating completes the recycling process by purchasing the recycled reclaimed refrigerant. Contaminated refrigerant is sent to our partner, Reclamation Technologies, that either:

  • Stores the refrigerant until a technology becomes available to recycle it, or
  • Destroys it following EPA guidelines.

"Standard Heating has one of the most thorough and conscientious recycling programs of all heating and cooling contractors in the Twin Cities.” – Reclamation Technologies, Inc., EPA-Certified Refrigerant Reclaimer

    "I would wholeheartedly recommend using SH&AC."

    Had someone come in to do a regular furnace tuneup and help me figure out why my son's room got almost no heat.

    "It was a great experience.  Couldn't recommend it more highly."

    I originally had an appointment to get it fixed on 6/22, but Greg came on the 17th, 5 days early! He was extremely professional and was in and out in under a half an hour.

    - Alice S., Yelp User
    "Arrived on time, was friendly, explained the process, and answered all questions"

    He even pointed out some things he noticed not technically related to the ducts, such as some asbestos on an old wood-burning stove that I had thought was just old tape and recent mouse activity in the basement.

    - Kate M., HomeAdvisor User
    "The installation went very smoothly."

    The installation went very smoothly. Thomas M. did a beautiful job. He was friendly and polite. He answered any questions we had about the new furnace. The city inspector even had compliments for the quality of work he saw.

    - Sylvia H.
    "Professional and courteous. Highly recommended!"

    I don't usually post reviews, but I was really impressed with Standard Heating. They got us in right away and showed up ahead of schedule. Professional and courteous. Highly recommended!
