Johnstone Air Conditioning & Heating is a cooling tower facility located at 963 Valley Rd, Wayne, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States. The plant is operational and serves the local area's air conditioning and heating needs, typical of commercial HVAC infrastructure in the region. The facility operates under U.S. regulations, including ASHRAE 15 for refrigeration safety and the EPA's refrigerant management programs under the Clean Air Act. Cooling towers in this sector often use water-based evaporative cooling, which can have implications for water consumption and efficiency. It likely serves medium-scale commercial or residential applications. As part of the cooling infrastructure in New Jersey, this facility contributes to climate control for buildings and industrial processes. Its environmental impact depends on refrigerant type and water management practices, with potential for energy efficiency improvements through modern cooling tower designs.

Cooling towers in the United States are subject to regulations on refrigerant use under the Clean Air Act, including phase-down of high-GWP refrigerants. Water consumption is a key environmental factor, as evaporative cooling towers use significant water resources. Efficiency metrics like Coefficient of Performance (COP) vary by design, and modern systems aim to reduce both water and energy use.
