USA Refrigerants is one of the longest-running refrigerant distribution and reclamation companies in the United States, founded in 1987 and acquired by Hudson Technologies in June 2024. The company serves HVAC and refrigeration contractors with a full-cycle refrigerant program that covers virgin refrigerant sales, buyback of used and recovered refrigerants, and EPA-compliant disposal of unusable mixed or contaminated gas. Their Buyback program accepts mixed, used, or virgin refrigerants and pays technicians and shops for recovered product that would otherwise be waste.
For HVAC contractors, USA Refrigerants removes the friction of refrigerant reclamation by providing recovery cylinders, paying shipping and handling on qualifying returns, and issuing payment or credit once refrigerants are tested. This turns a regulatory obligation under EPA Section 608 into a revenue stream while keeping HVAC shops compliant with venting and recordkeeping rules. The company handles R-22, R-410A, R-134a, R-404A, and virtually every common HVAC and automotive refrigerant.
With the Hudson Technologies acquisition in 2024, USA Refrigerants now plugs into one of the largest reclamation and distribution networks in North America, giving HVAC contractors access to DLA and national account supply alongside local buyback pickup. For change-out jobs, R-22 phase-down work, and A2L transition projects, USA Refrigerants is positioned as a one-stop partner for refrigerant purchase, recovery logistics, and EPA-compliant disposal.
