Environmental Notice
Alpinclima is committed to environmental responsibility in all aspects of our operations. The Alpin product range is designed with sustainability at its core — from refrigerant selection to energy efficiency certification.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerants
All Alpin wall-mounted, floor-standing and multi-split air conditioners use R32 refrigerant — a single-component refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, significantly lower than the previously common R410A (GWP 2,088). The Alpin ETS MAX heat pump range uses R290 (propane), a natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 3 — among the lowest available for heat pump applications.
All refrigerant handling is carried out exclusively by our F-Gas certified technicians in accordance with EU Regulation 517/2014. We maintain full records of refrigerant use, recovery and disposal.
Energy Efficiency
Every Alpin system we supply meets or exceeds EU Ecodesign requirements:
- Alpin Nordic: A+++ cooling (SEER 8.50) and A++ heating (SCOP 4.60) — the highest available class.
- Alpin Pro, Elite, Yuka and Multi-Split: A++ cooling (SEER 6.10) and A+ heating (SCOP 4.00).
- Alpin Alpha: A++ cooling (SEER up to 6.70) and A+ heating (SCOP 4.00).
- Alpin ETS MAX: A+++ at both 35°C and 55°C outlet water temperatures — the highest class for heat pumps.
The inverter technology used across all Alpin ranges continuously adjusts compressor speed to match the required load — consuming only the energy needed at any given moment, rather than cycling on and off at full power like a fixed-speed unit.
WEEE — Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment
Old air conditioning units removed during replacement installations are collected and processed through certified WEEE recycling channels, in accordance with Greek law implementing EU Directive 2012/19/EU. We do not illegally discard any equipment. Documentation of proper disposal is available upon request.
Our Environmental Commitments
- Zero refrigerant venting during all service and installation operations.
- Use of R32 and R290 refrigerants — low-GWP, no ozone depletion potential.
- Promotion of A+++ rated systems to reduce customer energy consumption.
- Responsible packaging disposal and recycling.
- Preference for long-lasting, repairable systems over disposable ones — backed by up to 10-year compressor warranties.
- Promotion of the ETS MAX heat pump as a clean alternative to fossil fuel boilers for space heating and domestic hot water.
