Air conditioner – Technological passion
Despite the high energy price that has been rampant throughout Europe in recent months, with all the rises and increases in energy due to the conflicts in Ukraine, we still make intensive and massive use of household appliances, which have inevitably impacted our lives daily.
Between an electric oven, a microwave oven, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and so on and so forth, we make very intensive use of household appliances to carry out the most diverse daily activities, from preparing food to washing and cleaning our clothes we wear every day.
In particular during the absolutely hot summer months, such as July and August for example, we make even more intensive use of the air conditioner, in such a way as to refrigerate and allow for an adequate temperature for the entire duration of these sultry summer months.
Unfortunately, however, bad news arrives in this regard, since the air conditioner could be banned in the future by the European Union: let’s find out together why and when this ban will eventually take place.
To be implicated in this case would be the new regulation of the European Union, F-Gas, which could in the future prevent the sale and purchase of air conditioners and its relative installation. Alternatively, the air conditioners themselves may have a significantly higher cost than in the past.
New arrivals
In particular, two situations will be respectively affected by this provision: on the one hand we will in fact witness the increasingly predominant use of refrigerant gases, introduced by the European Union. On the other hand, however, we will see an increase in costs at the level of air conditioners, especially heat pumps. The alarm was sounded in this case by Assoclima, according to which the main objective of the new European regulation is to significantly reduce all fluorinated gas emissions. At the moment there is no definitive provision, since it is only a draft law, which will have to be passed and confirmed at a later time.
Also speaking was Gabriele Di Prenda, the manager of Daikin Italia, who expressed himself in favor of a possible intervention (in the most timely manner possible) to amend the regulation in question, since it would constitute a significant problem for the whole sector in general.
Heat pump – Technological passion
Going more specifically, negotiations are underway which envisage the interaction respectively between the European Council, the Parliament and the Commission, which will possibly decide in favor or not of the provision. We therefore just have to wait impatiently for future decisions on their part, which we are sure will not be long in coming in the coming weeks or months to come.
