What is the difference between R600a and R134a freon gas?

Welcome to Advance Appliance Ltd, your trusted source for appliance repair services. We understand the importance of keeping your appliances running smoothly, which is why we are certified to perform repairs on appliances that use R600a and 134a Freon gas

You may be wondering, what is the difference between R600a and 134a freon gas? Well, R600a is a flammable gas that is commonly used in newly manufactured refrigerators. This gas is known for its energy efficiency and low environmental impact which is known not to cause damage to our environment. On the other hand, 134a is a non-flammable gas that is also used in refrigerators. While both gases have their benefits, it is important to note that R600a requires special equipment for repairs due to its flammability.

At Advance Appliance Ltd, we take safety very seriously. That’s why we have invested in special equipment specifically designed for R600a gas appliances. This ensures that our repairs are done safely and efficiently, giving you peace of mind.

.

On the other hand, 134a gas appliances can be repaired using a flammable torch to braze connect compressors and tubings. Our team of certified technicians is trained to handle this process with precision and care, ensuring that your appliance is repaired to the highest standard.
