Toshiba offers Rugby tickets for R22 survey

17860812_lUK: Toshiba is conducting a survey to try and solve the “mystery” of how many R22 systems are still operating in the UK and Ireland.

As an incentive to encourage feedback from the market, the UK subsidiary of the Japanese air conditioning manufacturer is offering the chance for participants to win Rugby World Cup tickets.

Toshiba says it would like to collect market data on the number and type of R22 systems, irrespective of brand, still operational throughout the UK and Ireland and is inviting feedback from customers, end users, consultants and, indeed, everyone who has an interest in the hvac industry.

Anyone providing the requested information and answering the qualifying questions will be entered in a draw. There will be three official ticket selections, one on the last working day in January, then again in February and March. The lucky winners will each receive two tickets for one of the World Cup games during 2015.
