Market Insight: In the Nigerian market, Refron® is widely considered the “Reliable Workhorse.” Because GFL is a massive manufacturer, Refron® often offers the best balance of quality and affordability in Lagos and Abuja. Elins Nigeria positions Refron® as the go-to brand for large-scale maintenance contracts where consistent gas quality is required across hundreds of units. For non-inverter systems, Refron® provides the “sturdy performance” needed to survive the intense Nigerian dry season.
Safety Note for : R-22 is subject to international phase-out protocols due to its Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). Elins Nigeria Technical Advice: Always perform a pressure test with Dry Nitrogen before recharging a system with Refron® R-22. If you are servicing a unit that has lost its charge, identify the leak first; adding gas to a leaking system is a temporary and environmentally harmful fix. Warning: Never use R-22 in systems designed for R-410A, as the lubricants are incompatible.
