Mitsubishi Electric Offers Free R290 Training Course
Mitsubishi Electric supports the UK HVAC/R industry with a free R290 training course to help prepare refrigeration and air conditioning professionals for the transition to eco-friendly alternative refrigerants. As a supplier of Mitsubishi Electric and R290 refrigerant, Fridge Spares Wholesale recognises the importance of accessing up-to-date training opportunities to ensure the safe handling of key materials
With the next phase of F-Gas reductions on the horizon, R290 refrigerant is set to play an increasingly important role in RAC split systems. This year saw the ban on R-410a for new residential and commercial air conditioning or heat pump systems come into force. In 2027, we’ll see further limits on the use of G-gases with high Global Warming Potential (GWP). The HVAC industry will therefore see an increase in reliance on low GWP alternatives like R290.
R290, an A2L refrigerant also known as propane gas, is an effective alternative to F-gas for refrigeration and residential air conditioning systems. Ensuring that you’re sufficiently trained to handle R290 safely will be an essential skill within the HVAC industry moving forward.
To help installers stay ahead and develop the necessary skills to move forward with the changing HVAC regulations, Mitsubishi Electric have launched a free online training course that covers everything you need to work safely and confidently with R290, now and in the future. The comprehensive blended online training introduces you to R290 refrigerant and covers:
- Storage and transport
- UK regulations
- Installation
- Servicing
- End-of-life handling
As an official distributor of Mitsubishi Electric, FSW is committed to helping you navigate the F-Gas transition seamlessly so you can continue to use MSZ-RZ systems safely and effectively in your operations.
Whether you are actively installing R290 systems today or planning for the future, this comprehensive course is a vital resource for you and your team. Register your interest today to take advantage of this free opportunity and stay up to date with the latest HVAC industry best practices.
