Refrigerant Trading Authorisation (RTA)
Refrigerant is the substance that provides heat exchange in an air conditioner, it’s like the blood of an air conditioner. Due to it's potential ozone depleting properties, refrigerants are a highly restricted substance in Australia.
When installing split systems, extra refrigerant is required so the unit can operate at maximum efficiency. Without it, the system will be undercharged. Undercharged split systems can’t perform to maximum efficiency, won’t achieve the desired temperature, will fail prematurely and void manufacturer warranties.
Also, if there is a refrigeration leak, and your installer does not have an RTA, then you may be forced to hire someone with an RTA to come to your house and charge the system with more refrigerant (as your original installer is not licensed to purchase the refrigerant).
Refrigerant Handling License (RHL)
Refrigerant has a high ozone depleting potential and is a restricted substance in Australia. Installing a split system air conditioner without a Refrigerant Handling License (RHL) is illegal.
Please make sure your installer has a RHL. (ConAir Coolings Refrigerant Handling License is L106353)
