Heating and ventilation installers are the professionals to whom the customer turns for requests for installation, conversion and maintenance of professional air conditioning, cooling and HVAC systems.
Any EEE that belongs to the professional air conditioning sector, i.e., equipment that enables heat exchange in places such as public and private offices. This includes air conditioners, heat pumps, rooftop units, chillers, and hydronic terminals.
In an initial phase, the Exceed Clima program will include a pilot project that will allow installers to also dispose of Household WEEE belonging to the A/C sector, and which will be aimed at the recovery of refrigerant gases (Gas R410a) from professional and domestic air conditioning systems.
Household WEEE is defined as all the waste from equipment used by households but also that which can be used indifferently by households and professional users (dual-use).
Professional WEEE is defined as waste coming exclusively from equipment designed with functions and characteristics such as to be different from that intended for the final consumer and thus only usable by professionals or businesses.
Exceed Clima has the primary goal of increasing the collection streams of Professional WEEE in Italy and meet the European target of 65%. For this reason, only those Producers who put on the market EEE from the A/C sector intended for professional use can join the program.
The Exceed Clima service was developed by the Producers of professional air conditioning equipment to increase the collection streams of Professional WEEE in Italy. With Exceed Clima, Producers and heating and ventilation installers can enjoy significant administrative simplifications and the benefits deriving from the compliant management of WEEE, proactively contributing to the protection of the environment and the achievement of ambitious European collection targets.

The service is aimed at all heating and ventilation installers operating on the Italian territory. If you want to know how to join Exceed Clima, write to exceedclima@erionprofessional.it and you will receive a contact request from Erion Professional.
There are many, but the most important are three.
The maximum quantity you can transport is 3,500 kg and the vehicles you will use must not have a payload greater than 3,500 kg and a mass greater than 6,000 kg. This threshold is valid for the journey from the collection point (your customer’s premises) to your warehouse. If, on the other hand, you use our vehicles, higher quantities can be transported.
WEEE Grouping must follow precise regulatory guidelines. Remember that air conditioners are categorized as hazardous waste and that you will need to empty your WEEE Grouping at the frequency required by current law.
For the collection of waste there is a complex bureaucracy which the installer must strictly follow as there are severe penalties and inspections are frequent. Exceed Clima gives you all the tools to do things right and help reach the 65% collection target set for Professional WEEE without worries.
Yes, that’s correct. Even if in a simplified way, enrolment in Category 3 Bis is required in order to be able to collect WEEE from your customers when you install new equipment. If you are a Premium Installer we will do it for you: Producers who join Exceed Clima will bear the associated cost. If you are a Basic Installer you can enrol in the Register by taking advantage of a preferential rate.
Exceed Clima provides two modes of management. If you are a Premium Installer, there is a dedicated app for you that you can download free from online stores (there is also a web version, if that is more convenient for you).
With the app you will be able to electronically manage all your environmental documents, which will be pre-filled and will make it easier to fill out your hard copy, and always from the app you will be able to send us service requests (which can also be sent automatically). If you are a Basic Installer, Erion supports you in regulatory compliance for the management of all environmental documents. If you need assistance just send an email to: exceedclima@erionprofessional.it.
It is all very simple.
No, you can also send us to collect it directly from your customer after the decommissioning of the air conditioning unit. We can also agree on a precise date to make it even easier.
Yes, but the Exceed Clima service is for professional equipment only (which you collect from your VAT-registered business customers) and therefore you will have to separately store the air conditioners coming from households (i.e., that you collect from private citizens). You can ask us to collect those as well, if you wish, and we will explain how to do so.
In an initial phase, the Exceed Clima program will include a pilot project that will allow installers to also dispose of Household WEEE belonging to the A/C sector, and which will be aimed at the recovery of refrigerant gases (Gas R410a) from professional and domestic air conditioning systems.
We only use Italian treatment plants, which after having made the waste safe (by removing, for example, the gas) will treat it obtaining a very high recovery percentage. We are a group of collective schemes with more than ten years of experience and we manage most of the electrical and electronic waste in Italy: we know what we are doing, and we like to do it well.
