Rapid Recovery opens in Texas

USA:  Leading refrigerant recovery company Rapid Recovery has opened a new location in San Antonio, Texas.

The new San Antonio location will be servicing local customers with Rapid Recovery’s full suite of refrigerant services – Rapid Exchange, jobsite recovery, and refrigerant delivery.

Rapid Recovery, the service division of A-Gas, converted this San Antonio location from a Diversified Pure Chem (DPC) hub to a full service Rapid Recovery location after the recent acquisition of DPC by A-Gas.

“Our goal is to provide our customers with total solutions for all of their refrigerant needs. Offering our new Rapid Exchange service is another opportunity to provide contractors with superior service that saves them time and makes their projects more efficient.” said Adam Dykstra, CEO.

“As the significant cost of performing recoveries with expensive, yet inadequate, off-the-shelf recovery equipment are realised, Rapid Recovery is in prime position to fill this need. Contractors are realising that sourcing the refrigerant recovery process to an expert can add profitability to their jobs, free up important technician time and meet all of their EPA documentation needs as well,” said Dykstra.
