The room air-conditioning sector is the largest user of HFCs in the Bahamas. This is followed by commercial units and chillers (packaged units, roof top units). The most commonly used refrigerants are HFCs, HFC-based blends, and hydrocarbons (HC-290 and HC-600A). The consumption of alternatives in The Bahamas is affected by the proximity to the US market as the Bahamas depends heavily on it. There is still a growing demand for HFCs driven by the increased imports of HFC-based equipment. While other countries in the region may have opted quicker to the HC, the Bahamas followed the US market trends. Sourcing of low-GWP remains a challenge
