Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rapid Recovery Opens 31st Territory in Atlanta for Mobile Refrigerant Recovery Services Peoria, AZ. August 20th, 2012 – Rapid Recovery is the only nationwide refrigerant abatement company and is pleased to announce the opening of its Atlanta Territory. Local Atlanta resident Todd Beaver will own and operate the business. This opening is another strategic expansion for Rapid Recovery into the Southeast's most significant market and further extends its nationwide presence. This marks the 31st location for the nation's largest provider of mobile refrigerant recovery services. With locations from coast to coast and work experience in over 44 states, Rapid Recovery continues to expand to meet the need for EPA compliant refrigerant recovery. Their use of AHRI certified gas powered recovery equipment gives them a distinct speed advantage over a contractor's electric "buzz box" and is a key factor as to why the company is quickly expanding to meet U.S. demand. Founded in 2002 (and celebrating their 10 year Anniversary), the industry leader has revolutionized the way refrigerant gets recovered in the U.S. "Industry leading equipment, combined with superior service and EPA documentation are just three of the things that set us apart", said Adam Dykstra, President. Another unique aspect is the company's franchise model, which Dykstra explains is "great service backed by local ownership that provides a valued partnership for local contractors. We are proud to be extending our nationwide service platform into Atlanta and better serving Georgia's contractor base". Dykstra said "We are a genuine service company to HVAC, Mechanical and Demolition contractors as well as in house facilities departments. As the burdensome costs of technicians' time,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 outsourcing 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." Rapid Recovery's Atlanta operation will be operated by Todd Beaver and his Lead Technician, Richard Drummond. Building on the success of their local 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise, Beaver hails "Customer Satisfaction" as the cornerstone of their success: "I like to say that we are really in the man-hours-savings business. We can recover as much as 500 pounds of refrigerant in an hour, 10 times faster than your average recovery machine. This saves contractors a ton of costly time that can be repurposed away from waiting around on recoveries. Then, add the fact that we assume all of their EPA liability for every pound of recovered refrigerant and you see why we are winning over contractors". Beaver added that "We deliver superior service and tremendous value tour customers". When asked if he feels Rapid Recovery has a competitive advantage, Beaver said, "Definitely, get us on a job-site and we really impress even the best of the HVAC Industry." He added that "Once a contractor uses us on a recovery and realizes our speed,they understand the impact that outsourcing refrigerant recovery can have. Their highly trained technicians can then focus on other revenue generating activities rather than wasting it on recovery." Beaver comes from a Management Consulting background, and Rapid Recovery marks he and his wife Genie's third family-owned business serving the Atlanta area (1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise and West Stride running store).
