From production to reclamation: How iGas keeps contractors supplied
Posted on:
The refrigerant market is changing fast, and iGas is building the infrastructure to handle it. This manufacturer operates across production, recovery, and reclamation—working exclusively through wholesale distribution to keep contractors supplied through the channels they already use. Their partnership with ACCA connects them to contractor needs without bypassing the distributors who serve the field every day. Here’s what they had to say about their approach to the refrigerant supply chain.
Why did you decide to partner with ACCA?
As a leading refrigerant manufacturer, iGas values its partnership with ACCA because it helps strengthen the broader HVACR ecosystem, especially the contractors who ultimately rely on the products delivered through our wholesale partners. ACCA’s commitment to education, technical excellence, and high industry standards aligns with our mission to ensure that every contractor has access to quality refrigerants through the distributors they trust.
Our executive leadership supports this partnership wholeheartedly. As our VP of Sales, Jorge Alvarez, states: “ACCA allows manufacturers like iGas to better understand the evolving needs of contractors, even though we serve the market exclusively through our wholesale partners. Together, we ensure the right solutions are available where contractors buy every day.”
How does iGas empower HVACR contractors to be effective and successful in their jobs?
While iGas does not sell directly to contractors, we empower them by equipping our wholesale partners with high-quality refrigerants, technical resources, and dependable supply. By supporting distributors with accurate product information, regulatory guidance, marketing materials, and fast logistics, we help ensure contractors receive the right refrigerant—on time and with confidence.
We also provide robust reclaim and recovery programs that wholesalers can extend to their contractor customers. This allows contractors to return used refrigerant responsibly and efficiently through their preferred distributor, improving both cost savings and environmental stewardship.
Ultimately, our goal is to strengthen the supply chain that contractors depend on, ensuring they have seamless access to the solutions required to perform their work effectively.
What sets your company apart? Do you have a unique product line, service offering, or company culture?
iGas stands apart through our industry-leading Molecule 2 Market platform, which delivers a fully vertically integrated refrigerant production, recovery, and reclamation ecosystem paired with our exclusive wholesale distribution model. Our cutting-edge, multi-million-square-foot facility enables us to manufacture a full line of refrigerant components and blends with unmatched control, consistency, and reliability. By partnering with wholesalers, we ensure contractors receive our products through familiar and trusted distribution channels. This focus on innovation, scale, and supply-chain reliability allows us to support the market efficiently and responsibly.
Can you share a specific example that demonstrates your commitment to contractor success?
Although we do not sell directly to contractors, we play a key role in helping them succeed through the wholesalers who carry our products. One distributor recently shared: “iGas has significantly improved our ability to support contractors. Their fast fulfillment and dependable reclaim program allow us to serve our customers more efficiently and with fewer supply-chain issues.”
In another case, a wholesaler faced an urgent contractor demand during peak season. Our team coordinated immediate inventory allocation and expedited delivery, ensuring the distributor could supply the contractor without disruption. These examples highlight our commitment to strengthening the contractor experience by empowering the wholesale partners who serve them every day.
What are you excited about in the year ahead?
We are excited to expand our production and reclamation capacity, strengthen our distributor partnerships, and support the market as the HVACR industry adapts to new refrigerant standards and regulatory changes. Our objectives for the coming year include faster turnaround times, broader distribution coverage, and continued investment in sustainable refrigerant solutions. We remain focused on supporting contractors through the wholesalers, who are the backbone of the industry.
