I'd forgotten that, but assuming it's wrought iron that's even better. Blacksmiths are always looking for a supply of WI!Originally Posted by superquag
You might have, if you'd done your homework...Eiffel tower is built of iron ...
(It's not made any more as it's too cost ineffective compared to mild steel. And by the way Wrought Iron is the material. These days it seems marketers use 'wrought iron' for any product they think looks like a blacksmith made it.

Now that there's this exorbitant tax on sythetic refrigerants with high global warming potential. It has to be the time to convert to natural hydrocarbon refrigerants.
You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

It is clear from this thread that one thing the carbon tax will do is greatly increase the uptake of "green" refrigerants such as HCs.

I have organised for myself and my trainers to get the mandatory trainer training so we can deliver it for industry. Co2, hydrocarbons and ammonia

Don't service any fridges.......
On the big stuff,we will have to use the old prices or we won't win too many jobs.
Which brings up another issue,our suppliers have 10's of thousands of dollars of the stuff in stock that they did not pay the tax on,yet are charging it out with thetax added
Anyway,rants over,i have had my say,just have to wait & see what happens in the next few months.

And to add further,quote from today's Courier mail page 48,
" Mr Sims said complex investigations were looking at massive price rises for refrigerant gases"
Rod Sims is chairman of the ACCC.
Now let's wait & see if they actually do anything.......................

The price is based on $23 per ton of CO2 equivilent. for example the refridgerent R134a has as much global warming potential of 1300 tonnes of CO2 so the levy on each ton is $29900.
