EPA Compliance Checklist

How WatchTower helps you meet EPA § 84.108:

  • Applies to refrigerant systems > 1,500 lb charge with GWP > 53
  • ALD system must be audited and calibrated annually
  • Alert when refrigerant loss > 50 lb or 10% of full charge
  • Record each date the ALD system triggers an alert for at least 3 years

Featured Case Studies

As of January 1, 2026, the EPA’s AIM Act requires strict leak detection and repair protocols for refrigeration systems with 15+ lbs of HFCs. Systems with 1,500+ lbs require automatic leak detection (ALD). These case studies demonstrate how WatchTower helps leading retailers stay ahead of compliance.

Tailored Technology With Big Results

Industry: Grocery Retail | 600+ Locations
Challenge
  • Temperatures were fluctuating in a unit of a supermarket’s refrigeration system.
  • Traditional monitoring systems often fail to quickly and accurately detect temperature fluctuations.
  • Undetected and unresolved fluctuations can result in system failure, product spoilage and costly off-hours repairs.
Solution
  • WatchTower’s real-time AI detection platform continuously monitored and analyzed temperature patterns, with a proactive Case Health Smart Alarm® triggered when unit temperatures became inconsistent.
  • Climate Pros maintenance team performed a timely and comprehensive system evaluation that revealed a malfunctioning Evaporator Pressure Regulator (EPR) valve, which was cleaned and cleared of debris, and returned to optimal performance.
  • Post-repair 24/7 remote monitoring by Climate Pros Triage Center confirmed the unit's return to stable temperatures and energy efficiency.
Results
  • Avoided emergency service calls
  • Avoided valve failure and repair costs
  • Restored energy efficiency
  • Extended equipment lifespan
  • Prevented costly product losses
