Rapid Recovery opens Fresno branch

USA: Nationwide refrigerant recovery company Rapid Recovery has added a new location in the Fresno, California area.

Founded in 2002, Rapid Recovery, which was acquired by A-Gas International last year, operates across the United States from more than 40 branches. Each site provides a full suite of on-site recovery and cylinder services to the refrigeration and HVAC sectors.

The Fresno operation, headed by Patrick Arroyo and comprising office and warehouse, is said to be ideally positioned to provide fast, reliable refrigerant recovery service to the entire Fresno area. Using its proprietary gas-powered equipment, Rapid Recovery claims to be able to provide recoveries over 10x faster than can be achieved with standard equipment.
