As of 1 January 2015, the continued use of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), including the ozone-depleting refrigerant gas R22, in refrigeration, heat pump and AC systems will become illegal.

R22 is common in AC systems manufactured before 2004, when the use of the gas was first banned, and at the start of next year all systems reliant on R22 must be replaced or be adapted to suit alternative modern refrigerants.

To accommodate the changes, Macair will offer instant lease quotes for new AC installations and upgrades, with the support of WestWon.

Andy McCready, sales director as WestWon, said: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with Macair and believe that together we can offer heating ventilation and air conditioning customers highly attractive and, in many cases, tax-efficient leasing options to help them acquire the systems they need in the run up to 2015 and beyond."

Rob McConachie, owner of Macair, said the rule change will mean many companies will have to bear the cost of new air conditioning systems at a time when their budgets are already stretched and added: "Suitable leasing deals should now be quick and easy for us to arrange and will help these businesses to spread the cost of a new system over its useful life, without impacting their cash flow and other lines of credit."
