You can trust that we do our part and more. Not only do we meet sustainability standards, we consistently surpass them. As ENERGY STAR Partners, we take responsibility in leading the charge with green innovation. It’s our duty as the largest commercial refrigeration manufacturers worldwide to ensure that our innovations in refrigeration are making the world a better place.
True uses only hydrocarbon refrigerant in our units. Natural and nontoxic, it has no ozone-depleting properties and offers low global warming potential making it one of the most climate-friendly and cost-effective refrigerants to cool and freeze.
Hydrocarbon (HC) refrigerants are natural, nontoxic refrigerants with no ozone-depleting properties and low global warming potential. As a result, hydrocarbons are one of the most climate-friendly and cost-effective refrigerants to cool and freeze.
R290 (HC) refrigerant is highly refined propane that is a safe, environmentally friendly alternative for the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants R134a in refrigerator applications and R404a in freezer applications.
R290’s thermodynamic properties are superior to both R134a and R404a. R290’s heat capacitance is approximately 90% greater than R134a and 140% greater than R404a with lower viscosity. This means that R290 can absorb more heat faster, resulting in quicker temperature recovery and lower energy consumption.
Current HFC Refrigerants (R134a and R404a) have extremely high Global Warming Potential (GWP) that is harmful to the environment. GWP is the relative measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere. The lower the GWP, the better a substance is for the environment. By comparison, R290 Hydrocarbon has a very minimal GWP.

This envy of the industry comes standard in every True product. Our patented Reverse Condensing Fan Motor reduces energy consumption and holds the coolest temperatures – all while removing excess debris from the interior and surface of the condensing coil to increase its lifetime.
True’s vertically integrated higher-quality components mean less failure rate, shorter run times, and lower energy consumption. Coupled with the industry’s in-class warranty means lower operating costs for you and an overall lifetime cost for your commercial refrigeration.
Foamed in place, CFC-free, polyurethane, high-density insulation that provides unparalleled strength, rigidity, and increase to an already industry-exceeding insulation factor, with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP).
True produces 700,000 kilowatt hours of energy – equal to reducing carbon emissions by 495 tons annually. Our 23 solar arrays are home to 2,070 solar panels and are seamlessly integrated into the Ameren Missouri power grid.
“As a leader in the refrigeration industry, True is committed to sustainability in the products that we make and the manufacturing processes we use to create them.”
