Renew your permit to work with CFC refrigerants

We regulate businesses that service mobile chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) air conditioners.

What to know

We regulate businesses that still:

  • repair
  • install
  • dismantle
  • dispose

Air conditioning units that use CFCs.

To keep your permit, staff must:

  • Take an EPA training course
  • Pass a test
  • Get certified

You must renew your permit every year.

What to do

Although we regulate this, new systems do not use CFCs. If you have an existing permit, we'll send you a renewal packet before your due date.

1. Contact us for information

Most businesses no longer work with CFCs. If you have questions about the use of CFCs, let us know.

Ask for Hazardous Materials and Waste.

2. Keep up necessary training

Staff who still use CFC equipment must take and pass a training course with the Environmental Protection Agency.

Topics cover how to:

  • properly use equipment
  • understand specific rules and regulations
  • know the value of recycling refrigerants
  • learn about ozone layer protection

After the course, staff must pass a test on these topics.
