Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rapid Recovery Opens 33rd Territory in San Diego, CA for Refrigerant Recovery Services June, 2013 – Rapid Recovery, the only nationwide refrigerant abatement company is excited to announce its latest opening in San Diego, CA. This opening marks another strategic expansion for Rapid Recovery in Southern California in addition to their existing locations in Los Angeles and Riverside, CA.  This marks the 33rd location for the nation's largest provider of refrigerant recovery services. With locations from coast to coast and work experience in over 47 states, Rapid Recovery continues to expand to meet the need for EPA compliant refrigerant recovery.  Their use of gas powered recovery equipment gives them a distinct speed advantage over a contractor's standard electric equipment and is a key factor as to why it is rapidly expanding throughout the United States. Founded in 2002, the industry leader has revolutionized outsourcing the recovery of refrigerants in the U.S.  "Our superior service and EPA documentation lifecycle are two critical values that set us apart for contractors," said Adam Dykstra, President of Rapid Recovery.  "Another significant advantage is our franchise model, which is quality local owners that provide a great partnership with local contractors."  This San Diego opening marks another extension of Rapid Recovery's nationwide service platform. "We are a genuine service provider to HVAC, refrigeration and mechanical contractors as well as in-house facilities departments.  As the burdensome cost of technicians' time, cylinder acquisition, equipment, maintenance; and expensive, yet inadequate off-the-shelf recovery equipment are realized, Rapid Recovery is in prime position for continued growth.  Contractors are realizing 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. Rapid Recovery's San Diego operation is owned and operated by Leti and Matt Zirkle.  They have located their office and warehouse in Mira Mesa and are ideally positioned to provide fast, reliable refrigerant recovery service to the entire San Diego County area. "We are very excited to expand Rapid Recovery into San Diego and provide locally based service.  Our ability to complete recovery jobs in hours instead of the days it takes contractors to complete them is providing real value to area contractors who are laboring with electric equipment.  Add the fact that we assume their EPA liability for every pound of refrigerant we recover and you begin to understand why our expansion is being so well received," said Zirkle. "Once a contractor uses us, they get it.  Our ability to shorten their recovery times really saves them money, time, and manpower.  It leaves a lasting impact that really impresses them," said Zirkle. "We provide refrigerant recovery in two main ways: convenient cylinder service at your shop and directly at your job-site.  We handle everything from residential units all the way up to chillers with tens of thousands of pounds," added Zirkle.
