Which equipment falls under EPA Type I?

Type I covers small appliances that contain a limited amount of refrigerant—up to 5 pounds. These are typically compact units with straightforward systems, making them eligible for the Type I certification category. The described examples—window air conditioners, through-wall units, dehumidifiers, and vending machines—are classic small appliances whose refrigerant charge usually stays at or below 5 pounds. That’s why they belong in Type I. Other equipment listed, like large central air conditioning systems and industrial chillers, contain much more refrigerant and are serviced under Type II. Walk-in commercial freezers also involve larger charges and more complex systems, placing them under Type II as well.
