A/C Upgrades
As of January 2010 the refrigerant R-22 (what consumers
call FreonĀ®) is no longer allowed to be used in the
manufacturing of new equipment. R-22 has been used as
the "standard" refrigerant for many years but has been
found to be harmful to our planet by our government. All
new air conditioners and heat pumps use R-410A, the more
"environmentally sound" refrigerant.
R-22 is still the most commonly used refrigerant in existing
air conditioning equipment in residential homes today.
However, per the Montreal Protocol, caps have been
established to eliminate the production of R-22. In 2004,
there was a 35% reduction; in 2010 there was a 65%
reduction; in 2015 a 90% reduction; and finally in 2020 a
99.5 % reduction in the production of R-22. This means that
during the time of these reductions with high demand, the
price of each pound of R-22 refrigerant will skyrocket.
If you are considering replacing your existing air
conditioning equipment, most higher efficiency products
have already made the switch to R-410A, the more
"environmentally sound" refrigerant.
