HVACR-log was created to help technicians comply with the latest EPA Section 608 reporting requirements without the hassle of doing extra paperwork. This digital record keeping log will become an integral part of your business in no time! With the changing of federal regulations regarding refrigerant usage, storage, and recovery, it has become necessary to keep track or log your activities to remain in compliance with the law. Systems that contain between 5 and 50 pounds have been the main target of this requirement. Information such as company name, date of recovery, type of refrigerant recovered, quantity of refrigerant recovered, etc., are now required to be logged and reported. This will create a lot of extra work (and paperwork!) for technicians and contractors that are already very busy. This is where the R-Log app can save you time and money, as well as help you meet your federal reporting requirements. The app is easy to use, just fill in required fields when you are on the job.
